Turn data into insight. Turn insight into impact.
Controlling for Impact
A programme designed to advance business controllers from reporting experts to strategic advisors who drive real business impact. Through peer benchmarking, communication skills, and real-world tools, you'll learn to make finance matter where it counts.
What CFOs told us — and how we’re responding
In the last few years, Hanken & SSE has engaged with hundreds of finance leaders. One challenge stands out across industries: business controlling remains a key development priority, despite all the buzz around AI and technology.
The need is real, and we have the tools to meet it.
Where business controlling meets strategy
Controlling for Impact is a pilot programme designed to respond to a widely shared need: to keep developing business controlling into a truly value-creating function. Based on insights from over 100 finance leaders, this programme focuses on strengthening the controller's role as a communicator, influencer, and strategic partner.
You’ll explore how to go beyond reporting and make data-driven insights land with real business.
