| "QUARTERLY" ABOUT INDUSTRIE 4.0 |
|
|
New publication by the Dream Factory |
|
The Dream Factory (“Ideenwerkstatt”), expert work group in the ICV, always strives to tackle the most relevant and innovative topics that provide new food for thought for the controlling community. After scrutinizing the topics of Green Controlling, Behavioral Orientation, Volatility and Big Data in recent years, we wish to carry on making controllers aware of new developments and thus provide new stimuli for the ongoing development of controlling. This year the Dream Factory team decided to select "Industrie 4.0" as the main topic as its importance for industrial manufacturing has increased tremendously during the last couple of months. The term stands for the intelligent networking of products and processes along the value chain. For many experts, this development will bring about fundamental changes
in corporate management, and this will inevitably have a significant impact upon controlling. Hence, the goal of this year’s Dream Car report is to show you what is meant by Industrie 4.0, what opportunities and risks it offers, and what consequences it will have for the controller.

| OFFER IN 5 STAGES BY THE CA CONTROLLER AKADEMIE |
|
|
Controller’s Qualification and Training Program |
|
The CA controller akademie also offers the 5-stage training program leading to a diploma in English designed equivalent to the original german diploma program. This is especially useful for companies which main language is not German, or for staff working in subsidiaries where German is not the native language. The 5-stage program gives international companies an opportunity to implement a shared understanding of controlling issues on a global basis.
Stage I – Controlling and the Controller – is the first step to comprehensive controller knowledge. Participants attain an overview of the most important components of controlling as well as about the design and the interplay of the most important controlling tools. You also learn how to integrate and apply these instruments in your daily business practice. It is designed for specialists in the field of Accounting and Corporate Planning, as well as for managers with various areas of responsibility who are involved in controlling. After this seminar, the attendees know how to implement and practise the following topics: • Controlling as Management Process; • Concept and Implementation of a Modern Management Accounting; • Corporate Planning, Budgeting, Variance Analysis and Forecasting; • Performance Measurement and Management; • Trends in Controlling.
The next seminar stage I to start with will take place October 19 to 23, 2015 in Feldafing at Lake Starnberg near Munich.

| ADAPTATION TO THE DIGITAL AGE |

Operation Big Data: Challenge accepted |
|
Big data is a hot topic. The large digital platform operators in particular have long recognized the economic potential of algorithm-based data analysis. They demonstrate this to billions of customers professionally every day. With their analytical technologies they generate high revenues and tie us loyal customers ever more firmly to their platforms via convenient and, above all, individualized services. A steadily growing number of companies want to imitate this lucrative lock-in effect so they can also capitalize on the benefits of big data. Nonetheless, in many sectors the implementation of modern data analysis tools is proceeding only sluggishly. Contrary to the expectations of some market participants, big data is not a simple add-on.

| VOLUME OF DATA AS ESSENTIAL MACROECONOMIC FACTOR |
|
|
In our data industry we are not the miner but rather part of the mine! |
|
As one possible way of reacting to the loss of our data sovereignty, efforts should be taken to launch education campaigns without delay (ideally on an international basis). This can help to establish greater internet and media expertise among the population at large in the medium to long run. Furthermore, an international legal framework would be desirable in order to regulate the use of data and algorithm-based technologies as well as limiting lax data-collection practices.
