| | | | | | | 49th Congress of Controllers: The Perfect Storm | | | | | In the name of the Board Prof. Heimo Losbichler, Chairman of the ICV, invites for the Congress of Controllers: Times remain challenging. This is precisely when the experience exchange and access to the ICV Controlling Excellence are particularly valuable. […] This year's Congress motto, "The Perfect Storm," is a symbol of the simultaneous confluence of several unfavorable developments that we are currently experiencing: economic weakness, geopolitical upheavals, rising unit labor costs, a lack of productivity gains, expensive energy, political uncertainty, unpromising announcements by the newly elected US president, excessive sustainability requirements. The list goes on and on. The sum of these effects is weakening the competitiveness of European companies and posing existential challenges even to flagship companies. The 49th Congress of Controllers focuses on these challenges and possible solutions. Top speakers from international companies await you, offering practical insights into the latest developments in the areas of AI in controlling, sustainability controlling and reporting, as well as strategies for global competitiveness and opportunities for effective cost reduction and restructuring. | | | | | | |
