CFO Yearbook 2015: The CFO of the future needs more soft skills

The complexity in the daily work increases enormously. In many cases, it is no longer possible for a single head to prepare and make decisions holistically. For good, safe and high-quality decisions, we need people with different skills and must communicate with them intensively. The lateral thinker is becoming more important. Also, the enormous speed of change is a big challenge. In many cases, routine can no longer occur. Ad-hoc inquiries and constantly new, specified key figures dominate everyday life in controlling. Additional requirements result from the changing legal systems in international business.

The controlling department of the leading fruit-processing company in Europe has identified four key areas in this context - supported by a few subject-related consultants - and is pressing ahead with them consistently.

Market-driven cost management for R & D projects in the pharmaceutical sector: possible uses of target costing

Product prices in the pharmaceutical industry in Germany are largely determined based on research and development costs and production costs. Because of the extraordinarily time- and cost-intensive innovation process, it becomes apparent only after a relatively long period of time whether the price determined for a drug meets the requirements.

Smart Grids - Impact on Network Charges

The implementation of smart grids places great demands on the technical operation and raises questions about network charges. Thus, implementation requires short and medium-term adjustments to existing technical solutions, the harmonization of technical fundamentals (for example, data formats), and long-term new energy strategies. In short: smart grids will change the nets. The resulting costs associated with the construction and operation of smart grids, as well as changes in the energy flow, will be an important determinant of network charging in the future.

Reporting - From the number mountain to the control instrument

Many people in business lack the time to deal with facts in detail. Reports are therefore required to map in a few pages all the complex relationships between the activities in the company and in its environment. The less time is available for the exchange of information, the more we search for shortening and condensing the representations. A reporting system with numbers seems to be the ideal instrument.

Construction site Goes High-Tech; Logistics, time and resource management

According to WKÖ, the construction industry, one of the largest economic sectors in Austria, generates a good one-tenth of Austria's total economic output. It is expected that this sector will rapidly evolve and soon be comparable to other high-tech industries. corresponding process adjustments in logistics, time and resource management are thus preprogramed. The construction industry and its supply industry will therefore have to deal with the regularly changing IT requirements and react quickly.
