Work Group Rhein-Neckar

Welcome to the ICV Work Group Rhein-Neckar
The Work Group Rhein-Neckar was founded in November 2009 and has since established itself as a lively forum for discussing controlling topics. After a coronavirus-related break of two and a half years, we returned with renewed vigor in spring 2024. Thanks to our active members – including representatives of well-known companies and medium-sized “hidden champions” from Baden-Württemberg – the Work Group thrives on inspiring diversity.
Whether you are a career starter or an experienced manager – we welcome anyone who wants to help shape controlling.
We look forward to you and your contribution!
Since spring 2024, the Work Group has been led by Marion Graefe and Sven Kraus as a co-management team. Together, we promote an open, trusting and inspiring exchange.
- Twice a year: specialist meetings on a Friday in March and November, each time at a member’s host company.
- Annual: An informal summer meeting with leisure activities such as barbecues, sports and relaxed conversations.
- Each meeting is dedicated to a current key topic.
- Suggested topics are submitted by the members and prioritized together.
- A preparatory team of three to four members develops the agenda and leads the event.
- Presentations by members and external speakers
- Workshops and group work
- Discussions on current case studies from practice
Our cooperation is based on mutual trust, openness and the joy of joint discussions. The Work Group not only offers space for professional development, but also for personal contacts and inspiring encounters.
- Heterogeneous membership structure: Our group brings together junior controllers, experienced managers and retirees from a wide range of industries.
- Practical relevance: Our meetings take place in companies that provide exciting insights into their specific tasks and business models. Plant or system tours are an integral part of our meetings.
- Open network: We welcome controllers from all sectors from the “Pfalz – Mannheim – Heidelberg – Karlsruhe – Pforzheim” region.
