Controlling Excellence – Thinking ahead when others are running behind
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I cordially invite you to the controlling highlight of the year, the 24th Controlling Insights Steyr, on November 21, 2025. Despite or perhaps because of the current challenges, our program is deliberately focused on positive solutions to the crisis. The motto “Controlling Excellence – Thinking ahead when others are running behind” focuses on the scope for action that arises in turbulent times. Presentations from leading companies in difficult sectors such as Mercedes, BASF, Porsche Holding and Benteler will show how controlling can provide support in uncertain phases such as today in order to overcome the current headwinds with strategic clarity and operational efficiency.
By participating, you will gain insights into current developments in controlling practice and the opportunity to exchange experiences with colleagues and good acquaintances. In the DigiSpace, you can also be inspired by our new prototypes in the areas of AI, analytics, process automation and data visualization and take a look with us at the controlling solutions of the future.
