In den 80ern stand Bilbao vor dem Abgrund: Smog, Gewalt, 25% Arbeitslosigkeit. Dann kam das Guggenheim-Museum. Ein mutiger Wurf, der als Größenwahn galt – und eine ganze Stadt veränderte. Viele Unternehmen behandeln Business Intelligence wie eine weitere IT-Initiative. Dabei könnte es ihr „Guggenheim" sein: Der zentrale Taktgeber, der alle Bereiche in Bewegung bringt. In Podcast erkläre ich, warum BI-Projekte oft im Projektdschungel untergehen – und wie der Bilbao-Effekt auch bei Datenprojekten funktioniert.

Wie kann KI Controller von Routineaufgaben befreien und ihre Rolle grundlegend verändern? Prof. Dr. Nicole Jekel stellt die EARN-Formel vor – ein Framework für den gezielten KI-Einsatz im Controlling.

In wenigen Tagen erscheint im Controller Magazin ein ausführliches Interview mit Peter Bluhm – 29.600 Zeichen über ein Thema, das in den Projekten bei ATVISIO oft eine zentrale und erfolgsentscheidende Rolle spielt: die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Controlling und IT. Regelmäßig erleben die Consultants von ATVISIO in Kick-off-Meetings für neue BI-Projekte typische Spannungen zwischen den beiden Bereichen. Der Controlling-Leiter fordert schnelle Ergebnisse – „Wir brauchen das Dashboard bis Monatsende!" – während der IT-Leiter auf klare Spezifikationen besteht: „Ohne vernünftige Spezifikation läuft hier gar nichts." Im Interview berichtet Peter Bluhm aus über 20 Jahren Beratungserfahrung in Business Intelligence und Data Management. Eine Situation beschreibt er besonders eindrücklich: Ein Controlling-Leiter spricht von einer „IT-Diktatur", während der IT-Leiter im selben Unternehmen vom „Excel-Chaos" im Controlling spricht. Für Peter Bluhm ist das kein Einzelfall, sondern ein systematisches Muster – und genau darüber spricht er im Interview mit dem Controller Magazin.

1952 löste Grace Hopper ein Problem, das heute in jedem Unternehmen existiert. Die IT spricht von ETL-Prozessen und Data Warehouses. Das Controlling denkt in KPIs und Forecasts. Das Marketing fokussiert sich auf Conversion-Rates. Alle sprechen eine andere „Datensprache“ - genau wie damals die unverständlichen Maschinencodes. Grace Hoppers Lösung? Der Compiler - ein Übersetzer zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Was Unternehmen heute brauchen: Einen Compiler für ihre BI-Projekte. Jemanden, der zwischen den Abteilungen dolmetscht und aus scheinbar gegensätzlichen Anforderungen eine gemeinsame Lösung entwickelt. Im aktuellen Podcast zeige ich, woran Sie echte BI-Kompetenz erkennen - und warum die meisten Berater zu schnell mit Softwarevorschlägen kommen.

„Daten sind das neue Öl“ – diese Metapher ist längst abgenutzt. Die eigentliche Frage ist: Wie schaffen es Unternehmen, aus ihren Datenbeständen echten Wert zu schöpfen? Und welche Rolle spielen Controller dabei?  Die neue Ausgabe 5/2025 der Fachzeitschrift Controlling zeigt vier unterschiedliche Wege zur datengesteuerten Organisation. Von systematischen Use Case-Bewertungen, die Subjektivität bei Daten-Projekten vermeiden, über modulare Data Mesh-Architekturen, die zentralisierte Data Warehouses herausfordern bis hin zu Knowledge Graphs, die neue Möglichkeiten der Unternehmenssteuerung eröffnen. Dazu kommt ein oft übersehener Aspekt: Controller sollen lernen, ihre Zahlen zu erzählen – Data Storytelling als Brücke zwischen komplexen Analysen und verständlicher Kommunikation.  Die zentrale Erkenntnis: Controller werden nicht zu reinen Datenexperten, sondern müssen ihre bewährte Rolle als Business Partner um technische Kompetenzen erweitern. Doch wo liegt die Balance zwischen Effizienz und organisatorischen Herausforderungen?  Darüber spricht ATVISIO-Geschäftsführer Peter Bluhm im Performance Manager Podcast mit Prof. Dr. Ulrike Baumöl von der Universität St. Gallen, Mitherausgeberin der Zeitschrift Controlling. 

Künstliche Intelligenz muss nicht komplex und teuer sein, um echten Mehrwert zu schaffen. Das beweist die Mehrer Compression GmbH eindrucksvoll: Das traditionsreiche Industrieunternehmen hat sein Servicegeschäft durch clevere KI-Anwendungen grundlegend transformiert – ohne teure Sensoren oder komplizierte Automatisierung. Mehrer Compression ist ein über 130 Jahre alter Spezialist für Kompressoren in Industrieanwendungen. Das Servicegeschäft macht die Hälfte des Umsatzes aus – war aber bisher rein reaktiv organisiert und damit nicht mehr zukunftsfähig. Anstatt auf vollautomatische Systeme zu setzen, wählte Mehrer einen schrittweisen Ansatz: Mit intelligenten Prognosemodellen können sie heute Service- und Ersatzteilbedarf vorhersagen. Das Ergebnis: deutlich bessere Lagerhaltung und optimierter Kundenservice. Jens Elfert, Bereichsleiter Finanzen und Personal bei der Mehrer Compression, berichtet über eine praxisnahe Geschichte digitaler Transformation im Mittelstand – ohne Buzzwords und mit konkreten Learnings für CFOs, Controller und IT-Verantwortliche.
