Offizielles Willkommen, Intro & Housekeeping

Times are changing. Whether you view the changing conditions and the new economic context of the company as a crisis or an opportunity is up to you as a financial manager.

The only certainty is that there are currently many changes that need to be taken into account in the financial decision-making and structural orientation of the company.

In this panel, CEOs and investors will talk about the current situation, which necessitates a paradigm shift within the company to be implemented as early as possible in order to chart a secure course for the future. Because the interest rates are going up, money is becoming more expensive. Hence valuations at the stock exchange are dropping as well as the valuations for companies. The economic climate is different now for startups and scaleups as well, where growth has become a too difficult goal to achieve. Instead, efficiency is needed to find a new path for development for a fast growing scaleup at full speed.

The new questions are:

• What are the new KPI we need to optimise?

• How can we account for these KPI within the company?

• Have founders sufficiently realised and planned for this new reality in the eyes of the investors?

This session will be held in English.

Seit das StaRuG am 1.1.2021 in Kraft getreten ist, gilt eine Pflicht zur Krisenfrüherkennung für die Geschäftsleitung auch per Gesetz. Was auf den ersten Blick wie eine Gängelung scheint, sollte für Unternehmen als Chance verstanden werden. Denn je früher Trends im Geschäftsverlauf erkannt werden, desto größer ist der Handlungsspielraum für die Kurskorrektur. Dies gilt insbesondere in Zeiten der Rezession – auch für gesunde Unternehmen.

Ziel dieses Vortrags ist die mögliche Ausgestaltung der unternehmerischen Krisenfrüherkennung anhand von Indikatoren und Instrumenten beispielhaft zu erläutern.
