| 42nd CONTROLLER CONGRESS: OPENING SPEECH BY ICV CHAIRMAN SIEGFRIED GÄNSSLEN: |
|
|
"Paradigm change in company management" |
|
ICV Chairman Siegfried Gänßlen gave his opening speech at the 42nd Controller Congress in Munich on May, 15th. The congress, titled "Agile Controlling in Digital Reality – Managing Upheavals Successfully", was attended by 650 international guests. Gänßlen asked the controllers to throw old patterns of behavior overboard, to become more innovative and to develop more start-up mentality. "We meet in exciting times," said the long-time CEO of Hansgrohe SE: "In almost all areas, there are fundamental changes that are ‘anything but everyday’ in their intensity, range, complexity and dynamics. For digitalization is not just about technological innovations, but also enables entirely new business models and turns markets around completely, the controllers are also called upon to question everything," explained ICV Chairman Gänßlen.

Sustainability and Controlling |
|
Sustainability has become a key success factor for many large companies as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. This also affects controllers to a large extent, because apart from the ecological and social component, the economic is a third essential pillar. Controller as a business partner of the management take care of strategic and operational transparency - also with regard to sustainability. The requirements for sustainability in today's organizations, processes, products and services can be identified and transferred to the controlling department. Strategic and operational aspects must be defined, planned and identified. Controlling sustainability in everyday life is called for. This requires new practical controlling tools. In the appraisal of sustainability and controlling, specialists will present you their experience in measuring and controlling in the field of sustainability. You will experience state-of-the-art solutions, participate in the innovation process of an IT solution for SMEs and exchange ideas with speakers and like-minded people.

| GERMAN SMEs LARGER THAN SMEs IN OTHER EU COUNTRIES |
|
|
In Germany, two out of three employees are employed in SMEs |
|
While there are less micro-enterprises with up to 9 employees in Germany than in other EU member states, the share of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with 10 to 249 employees in the entire business population is higher. As a consequence, the average number of employees in German SMEs is considerably higher than in other EU countries. Compared to an EU average of 4.0 employees, the average employment size of German SMEs amounts to 7.7 employees (2015). Due to their strong competitiveness and dynamic growth on national and international markets, many successful German SMEs have been growing into large enterprises, though maintaining the typical characteristics of Mittelstand/family enterprises. From 2008 until 2015, for instance, the number of large German enterprises (according to Eurostat's Structural Business Statistics) has grown by 11%, while in the EU-28 (including Germany) their number has decreased by 1%.
