Creating business value with a problem-solving perspective
Dietmar Meyersiek, EXES GmbH
- Too often, instruments of communication in reporting, controlling and planning focus on descriptive activities. Causal analyses, expanding the solution space, exploring creative solutions and predicting/visualizing consequences of actions are insufficiently employed. New information sources (“Big Data”) and advanced analytics offer opportunities for creating and communicating business value with a problem-solving perspective. The speech provides a powerful framework using business examples.

Topics of the parallel breakout sessions
Session 1: Title standards
Arne-Kristian Schulz, blueforte GmbH
Arne will make some suggestions and collect the ideas from the participants about the following topics:
- How do we notate time periods, scenarios, and variances etc.?
- How does this effect the “third row” of our present title standard?
- Is there a need to standardize other title elements such as rankings, averages, etc.?
Download a draft of Arne’s presentation in preparation for the discussion.
Session 2: Scenarios and semantic axes
Jürgen Faisst, HICHERT+FAISST GmbH
Jürgen will discuss concrete changes in the definition and visualization of scenarios:
- Semantic notation for character of scenarios (actual, planned)?
- Semantic axes for variance charts only? (How to handle stacked columns and bars?)
- No more labelling of scenarios on x-axes?
Download a draft of Jürgen’s presentation in preparation for the discussion.
Session 3: Stock and flow measures
Rolf Hichert, HICHERT+FAISST GmbH
Rolf will discuss concrete suggestions for the visualization of stock and flow measures:
- Area and line charts for stock values and YTD values?
- How to identify stock and flow values in horizontal and vertical axes?
- Is there a conflict with the planned “value-volume” and “good-bad-neutral” notation?

Session 4: Dashboard topics
Raphael Branger, IT-Logix AG
Raphael will discuss some suggestions and collect the ideas from the participants about the following topics:
- Should the IBCS Standards also cover interactive elements?
- How do they interact with titles?
- How to handle scaling in interactive systems? Consistent per application or per page?
