Welcome at the Expert Work Group Analytics and Controlling

OUR CURRENT FOCUS: BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & ANALYTICS

Digital capabilities are becoming the central driver of companies’ competitiveness. Corporate management/controlling is particularly affected: on the one hand, due to the changes in the business area, and on the other hand, due to the effects in the data + analytics area.

With our work we would like to generate impulses and ideas for an innovative further development of controlling and regularly inform you about trends and new developments.

The Head of the Expert Work Group Analytics and Controlling is Prof. Dr. Andreas Seufert. He is supported by a network of science and practice.

We look forward to an imaginative collaboration with all members of the ICV and those interested in controlling.

Digitization is becoming the central driver of information processing. Controlling, as a key designer of the information supply in the company, is particularly affected by the effects.

If controlling wants to live up to its role as a business partner to management, it must be able to assess current trends and classify them into its existing methodological apparatus. The core processes of planning, management and control must be fundamentally reconsidered with regard to the new possibilities.

Digitalization undoubtedly creates completely new possibilities. But this does not take place on a greenfield site. Controlling brings many years of experience with business intelligence procedures. How is the BI world changing in light of Big Data/Advanced Analytics and AI? Where do the responsibilities lie? What know-how is needed?

The Expert Work Group has set itself the task of systematizing and analyzing the diverse approaches and developing recommendations for practical use

We address the following questions, among others:

  • What influences does digitalization have on companies? What implications does this have for corporate management and controlling?
  • What new skills does digitalization require on the business side? What methodological know-how is required when dealing with data and analytics?
  • What organizational implications arise? Where and how do competence centers help? How should the interaction with IT and specialist departments be organized?
  • Which methods have proven successful? Where does “best practice” develop? Are there innovative, lesser-known methods that promise benefits for controlling?
  • Which data supply architecture is suitable? Is a classic data warehouse still needed? What infrastructure is required by new methods of digitalization? • Where is the ideal introduction to the topic?

Strategic Partner

Our goals

The expert work group Analytics und Controlling systematically monitors the relevant controlling environment in order to identify important trends at an early stage.

The focus of our work is set on the areas of digitization & analytics.

The overall goal is the development of the leading role for ICV in the field of analytics and controlling.

This competence is to be understood internally, meaning at the ICV, but also externally, meaning visible to the public.

In order to achieve this goal, the Expert Work Group qualifies as the central point of contact and specialist spearhead of the International Association of Controllers for the area " Analytics und Controlling ". In addition, the Expert Work Group Analytics and Controlling is the interface of the ICV to external institutions.
