Dream Car "Industrie 4.0" of the Dream Factory |
|
The ICV Dream Factory ("Ideenwerkstatt") has just published an English Dream Car report "Industrie 4.0". Industrie 4.0 stands for the intelligent networking of products and processes along the value chain. There are many indicators that the paradigm shift long prophesized will not happen overnight but step-by-step. In this context, there will be both opportunities and challenges for management accounting and controlling. There is a wide range of opportunities for the controller to improve process performance management or identify new causal links. The demands upon controlling will increase in the future. While controllers will still need to be a business partner who provides analytical support for the decisions of the manageme
nt, they will also increasing slip into the role of change agent. Here, controllers will have to actively shape changes in the company. The goal of the new Dream Car report is to show what is meant by Industrie 4.0, what opportunities and risks it offers, and what consequences it will have for the controller.

Delivering Robust Financial and Corporate Control |

The role of the Controller is evolving dramatically, as many senior finance roles are. As such, they are working more and more with the CFO and other departments in the analysis and formulation of solutions to more strategic issues. They are also integrating with operational areas across the organization to supply financial and non-financial data, as well as providing users who work in these areas with the tools to enable self-service access to informational sources. Innovation Enterprise and CFO Publishing are hosting the annual Controller Summit, this November 12 & 13. The summit is taking place in Boston and is to explore the evolving role of the controller and how they can deliver robust financial and corporate control.

A good solution for CFOs but with possible pitfalls |
|
Flexibility and scalability are among the most valued advantages of cloud solutions. Lower costs and agile answers in the office or outside the office are next. Cloud solutions, first used only to support general and operational processes, is evolving to one of the most important business tools of modern. However, CFOs should beware of the traps. An Oracle survey conducted two years ago found that the projects of the majority of enterprises that attempted to integrate cloud technology into their business strategy have failed with average loss of around US$ 185,000.
