„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.”

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.”
