Inhouse Seminar: Management Reporting – IBCS® with SUCCESS
Management reports should give decision-makers a quick overview of what matters and which decisions need to be made. This is where the International Business Communication Standards (IBCS®) and the new ISO 24896 standard based on them come in. Reports, dashboards and presentations use a consistent notation so that variances, trends and key messages can be understood more quickly and are less likely to be misinterpreted. For controlling and management teams, this means fewer distractions and greater focus on root causes, risks, options and actions. This course shows you how to structure management reports in line with the SUCCESS principles of the IBCS® Standards and how to improve existing reports effectively. The publication of ISO 24896 provides another strong reason to align management reporting with international standards.
After this seminar, you will be able to
- make management reports, dashboards and presentations more understandable in accordance with IBCS®
- formulate clear messages and highlight the insights that matter for decision-making
- identify common weaknesses in existing reports and address them systematically
- present variance analyses, trends, plan-versus-actual comparisons and scenarios consistently
- apply the SUCCESS rules of the IBCS® Standards to charts, tables and entire report pages
