Heading I: Control Processes and Systems
Key Concepts
The first key concept in control processes and systems is resiliency. Managerial control encompasses various methods of making sure that the operations of the organization are proceeding in the right manner and direction. Resiliency in management refers to the success of managing in the operations of the organization.

Heading II: My News Article- Events & Conferences 2014 Process Control and Safety Symposium by Marriott West
This news article relates directly to the topic because it describes the research on the control techniques of heterogeneous systems of information and crucial trends in automation and control trends. As such, this article introduces the control and automation systems of information as one of the control processes presented in the topic. This article gives an outline of the symposium including the introduction to the managing alarm systems, the industrial automation security, safety instrumented systems and the industrial wireless systems (ISA 2014).
This article presents directly relates to the topic in the sense that this article formalizes the control processes with the automated mechanisms of control in the synchronization of base processes. As such, this article presents the three methods of control processes and systems including the control techniques and managerial control.

The concepts of control processes and systems are important to managers in various ways. Controlling process and systems enables managers to incorporate other management functions in the organizations. For instance, planning enables the manager to set the directions of the organization and allocation of resources in the same organization.
Organizing in the organization enables the manager to bring together individuals within the institutions and the material resources in working combinations. Controlling also enables the managers to make sure that operations in the organization run in an ample manner and enables them to identify methods of keeping the performance in consistent progress.

These concepts will also give me the opportunity to exercise leadership of oneself in my life.
