The initial situation
The increasing centralization of transactional tasks in controlling in particular led to the desire to establish a reporting factory as a central organizational unit. The question was how this could be embedded in terms of processes, both in terms of depth (from posting to the group report) and in the interfaces between the departments (e.g., responsibility for the correctness of data content).
Recording of existing processes and business cases in joint workshops and elaboration of the various task areas and role definition. Based on this, definition of the internal processes and team clusters (requirements management, interface management, data quality, reporting excellence) of the Reporting Factory. Definition of the interfaces as well as delimitation of the task section to the specialist areas, definition of a transfer matrix of the employees and elaboration of a roadmap for organizational and process-related implementation.
The benefits for the customer
The Reporting Factory was implemented in accordance with the designed organizational structure. By merging tasks, a gradual increase in the degree of automation led to higher data quality, fewer transmission errors and a more efficient process flow. In addition, a single point of truth was created, which eliminated discussions about the accuracy of the data.

Namely, mastering the balancing act between corporate decision-making concepts on the one hand and a pragmatic implementation of methods and instruments on the other.

"The best concepts, new methods and optimized processes are only sustainable if they are borne and put into practice by the employees and the organization." That is Peter Keefer's true conviction.

A solution not only depends on theory, but more than that on a deep understanding of our clients' organization and the ability to adapt.
