„Each change, the more related to digitization, needs a valuable impulse and support. Controlling has a key role to play in this process, being co-responsible for the effective implementation of digitization, but also for automating and streamlining its processes. This is a great opportunity in building a new role of controlling, which should be used well.”

„It is the customer and his satisfaction with our services that will show whether our transformation has resulted. Let’s make changes and look for controlling solutions that will change not only the controlling itself, but will have a positive impact on processes in the organization and will translate into customer satisfaction.”
