training
This training is held in German.
A busy management team needs meaningful and clearly formulated reports that serve as management information. Find out how you as a controller can optimally prepare and communicate your data in order to convince. A professional presentation is of central importance given the limited time available to decision-makers: figures must be turned into pictures that speak! After all, reports only fulfill their purpose if the recipient understands the key management information and can follow the recommendations.
