Stage V - Presentation & Moderation for Controllers

Changes accompany us now more than ever. People in management boards and those who are affected want and need regular information on current developments. As a business partner, the controller is responsible for both providing information and discussing its impact. Important contexts should be recognized, visualized, presented and discussed in an open-ended manner. In addition to the holistic economic understanding, knowledge on communication in groups, processing information for faster comprehension is needed, as well as the ability to facilitate developing discussions in a target-oriented way. Corresponding behavioral training is a firm component for up-to-date controller education. In this training, you will learn the techniques and success factors to solve complex problems, develop the most important rules of presentations and optimize your communication skills. You will also intensively practice the role of business partner – using feedback, video analyses and implementation aids regarding demeanor, language and behavior. Finally, you will hold a diploma-worthy presentation and moderate a meeting before the plenary session of participants.

After the workshop you will be able to:

• develop proposals ready for decision and present them even more confidently on site and in virtual space
• keep discussions open for as long as possible, unblock deadlocks during discussions and offer alternatives
• analyze and restructure teams, break behavioral patterns of behavior and give valuable feedback
• interact and be present when presenting online, asserting yourself and using the central importance of the storyline
