Contain

Containment is the ability to keep things intact and under control. In 2006, Derek Hendrikz introduced Containment as a primary managerial function. In orgtology this is about controlling the work of Org through structures and divisions; defining organizational purpose and intent; creating change through strategy; maintaining operations through processes; restricting behaviour through policies, procedures & rules; etc. The word “contain” means “to hold”. Like a bottle of water, its not about the bottle but about the water. However, without the bottle, the water loses its intended meaning. Chaos results when containment is lost.
