FDSeminar Controlling Wim Oversteyns - Alliance
The document discusses Alliance Laundry Systems' need to change from an Excel-driven sales forecasting process to a new system. It implemented the IBM Cognos TM1 online tool to allow regional sales managers to input rolling monthly forecasts. The tool aggregates the sales data, applies historical reference data to generate detailed outputs, and distributes forecasts to other departments. It provides sales support features like daily sales reports and forecast reliability metrics. The new system increases forecast accuracy, reduces the input burden on sales staff, and provides actionable data to support better organizational decision-making.
FDSeminar Kredietmanagement - Georges Fabry -iko europe
Georges Fabry, Group Credit Controller van IKO Europe, een producent van dakdichtingen met vestigingen in Canada, de VS en Europa. Hij werkt vanuit het financiële shared service center in Antwerpen en beheert het centrale kredietmanagement voor de Benelux, Frankrijk, Duitsland en Slowakije. De verschillende sites in die landen werkten traditioneel heel onafhankelijk, maar nu legt men veel striktere gemeenschappelijke regels op. De financiële afdeling heeft daarbij de leiding in handen en beslist over betalingstermijnen, kredietlimieten en andere voorwaarden. Tegelijk is de samenwerking met de verkoopafdelingen heel intens.
FDSeminar Kredietmanagement - Hendrik Marck - Proximus
Hendrik Marck, Risk Manager Specialist bij Proximus, verkent de vraag of een preventief werkende CRM geen belemmering is voor Sales. Door een goede opbouw van communicatiekanalen, het verschaffen van juiste informatie, het tijdig infomeren van nieuwe verkoopacties en via een tijdige rapportering aan het management kunnen dikwijls al veel problemen voorkomen worden.

This document provides an introduction to irrational numbers. It begins by explaining that while natural numbers were originally used to count, fractions were later needed to measure lengths and areas. Some lengths could not be expressed as fractions, and these were called irrational numbers. The document then defines rational and irrational numbers, provides some examples of irrational numbers like the square root of 2 and pi, and gives a brief history of the discovery of irrational numbers by Hippasus. It concludes by explaining how to perform operations like addition, multiplication and division with irrational numbers.
FDSeminar Processen Stroomlijnen
The document discusses the EU directive on e-invoicing between businesses and government to increase standardization and interoperability. It highlights how systems like e-PRIOR and PEPPOL can help automate invoice processing between buyers and suppliers. Examples from Belgium show how early adoption of e-invoicing standards through platforms like Mercurius are helping public administrations and businesses realize savings from more efficient invoice processing.
FDSeminar Wat wil de fiscus? Philippe Vyncke PwC
Philippe Vyncke, vennoot van PwC, spreekt over de manier waarop inzake fiscaliteit België zich positioneert in een Europese context, hoe de mix aan belastinginkomsten er uit ziet, hoe andere landen dat aanpakken. Daarnaast heeft hij het over hoe België in wetgeving en in de praktijk belastingstructuren aanpakt.
innovative lesson plan
1) The document discusses a mathematics lesson on exponents taught to students. It introduces the concepts of exponentiation as repeated multiplication and defines the terms "base" and "exponent".
2) The teacher engages students in an activity involving boxes containing smaller boxes and flowers to demonstrate exponentiation. Students correctly answer how many flowers there are using exponents.
3) The teacher distributes a puzzle card involving connecting dots with exponential numbers to the students. The first student to correctly complete the puzzle will receive a prize.

The document discusses a mathematics lesson on exponents taught to students. It begins by explaining how the concept of exponentiation was introduced through discussion, observation, and explanation of repeated multiplication. An example is then shown of 3 boxes within 3 boxes within 3 boxes containing flowers, with the students correctly answering the total number of flowers is 81. Finally, the teacher proposes an exponent puzzle for the students to solve, with the winner receiving a prize. The lesson reinforces exponent concepts and engages students through interactive examples and a game.

FDSeminar Wat wil de fiscus? Natalie Reypens - Loyens & Loeff
Volgens de nieuwe regels van de OESO zullen bedrijven steeds meer documentatie moeten voorzien rond transfer pricing. Daardoor verhogen de administratieve lasten én de kosten. Advocatenkantoor Loyens & Loeff verwacht daarbovenop ook meer discussies met de fiscus. Natalie Reypens zet al een aantal zaken op een rij die we kunnen verwachten.
Introduction
The document discusses the importance and organization of mathematics exhibitions. Mathematics exhibitions can supplement classroom learning by providing hands-on experiences and promoting self-study. They motivate students to learn mathematics with interest by breaking the monotony of traditional classrooms. Successful exhibitions require initiative and involvement from both teachers and students. Teachers provide guidance while students lead activities centered around clear objectives.
Circular measures
The document discusses key concepts relating to circles such as:
1) The perimeter of a circle is 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.
2) An arc is part of a circle, and the central angle of an arc is the angle formed by the endpoints of the arc and the center of the circle.
3) The area of a circle can be calculated as πr^2, where r is the radius.
Work measurement
This document discusses work measurement and its applications in lean manufacturing. It provides an overview of the origins and contributors of work measurement. Some key techniques described include predetermined time systems, work method analysis, and video-based work measurement. The document also discusses how work measurement can be applied to understand material flow, labor utilization, setup times, and other processes. The overall aim of work measurement is to analyze work, simplify processes, set performance standards, and improve workflow efficiency in lean applications.
FDSeminar KPI's: Geert Scheipers (academic director organizational performanc...
In het vak ‘Beheerscontrole’ ligt de nadruk traditioneel op extrinsieke drijfveren die mensen aanzetten tot het realiseren van bedrijfsdoelstellingen. Denk daarbij aan ‘Pay-for-performance’, evaluatie-systemen, rapporteringen, budgetten,… Populaire publicaties van bijvoorbeeld Frederic Laloux (Reinventing organizations), Ricardo Semler (The 7 day weekend) of Vincent Nayar (Employee First, Customer second) tonen dat er andere culturen en bedrijfsfilosofieën zijn.
Maar betekent dit dan ook dat de pijlers van het vakgebied niet meer relevant zijn? Zijn indicatoren historisch erfgoed in management geworden? Vast niet, maar het is wel tijd om terug naar de bron van het vak te gaan en om de traditionele managementprocessen op een andere manier aan te pakken, zodat ze beter inspelen op de trends in onze marktomgeving en aantrekkelijk zijn voor de nieuwe generaties waarmee we samen werken.
In deze sessie vertrekt Geert Scheipers vanuit goed onderzoek rond sturen in organisaties, om te bekijken hoe men vanuit een doorleefde visie en inspiratie succesvolle, duurzame organisaties uit kan bouwen.
FDSeminar KPI's: Koen Dierckx CFO Vanbreda performance management)
Performance management systemen worden dikwijls nog als een noodzaak beschouwd voor de implementatie van strategie. Verwachten we te veel van goed geformuleerde KPI’s of is er inderdaad meer nodig om de bedrijfsstrategie te realiseren? Koen deelt zijn visie op basis van zijn ervaring bij ING/NN en Vanbreda Risk & Benefits.

Peter Philippaerts (COO Brugman - Breng eenvoud in je processen)
Voor Peter Philippaerts is werken vanuit de processen en er eenvoud in aanbrengen de sleutel tot meer, beter en goedkoper. Als COO van het UVC Brugmann Ziekenhuis, maar ook in vorige functies, deed hij veel ervaring op terzake en ontwikkelde hij een specifieke aanpak.
FDSeminar F&O Dominiek Beelen cfo senior living group
Opgestart begin 2005 is Senior Living Group door een intensieve buy-and-buildstrategie in een versnipperde markt uitgegroeid tot één van de marktleiders binnen de commerciële ouderenvoorzieningen. Doorheen de afgelopen 10 jaar is niet alleen het overnameproces, maar ook het integratiemodel verder geëvolueerd tot een geoliede machine. CFO Dominiek Beelen gunt U een inside van hoe Senior Living Group zich doorheen deze jaren heeft ontwikkeld tot een mature en solide onderneming.
Agfa case - CCH Tagetik as efficient CPM platform at Agfa
This document discusses Satriun's implementation of the CCH Tagetik corporate performance management (CPM) platform at Agfa-Gevaert NV to integrate their financial and management accounting processes. Previously, Agfa-Gevaert used separate Cognos and SAP systems resulting in data silos. Satriun implemented CCH Tagetik to create a single integrated financial data model covering income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and non-financial metrics. This eliminated reconciliation issues and automated processes like consolidation and cost allocation.
Casper Van Leeuwen - Why cash flow should be a focal point
This document discusses why cash flow should be the focal point of financial consolidation and reporting. It argues that traditional financial statements do not provide easy insights into value creation. The balance sheet mixes operating and non-operating items, and the income statement combines profits and non-profits. To analyze economic performance, the statements need to be reorganized. The document demonstrates reorganizing the balance sheet to the "capital employed" format, which separates operating, investing, and financing activities and clearly defines working capital and net debt. This integrated view of the financial statements through the lens of cash flow and capital employed better reveals how value is being created.
Dag1 02 geert_letens_cfo_conferenz
This document discusses managing change and the importance of change capabilities. It presents a model of six "batteries" that are important for successful change: ambitious top team, clear strategic direction, healthy culture, action planning and implementation, powerful management infrastructure, and strong connection with employees. Each of these batteries needs to be charged to drive transformations. The document advocates managing change through iterations rather than steps and assessing an organization's change profile to identify strengths and weaknesses across the six batteries. Effective change leadership requires balancing rational and emotional approaches.
Dag2 03 elke_jeurissen_cfo_conferenz
This document discusses the journey towards inclusive leadership. It identifies key drivers for change at the societal, company, and individual level. At the societal level, equality is an illusion and inclusion should be the goal. For companies, inclusive leadership helps attract top talent, drives innovation, improves reputation and responsibility, and boosts financial performance. Examples from PepsiCo, Microsoft, and Telenet show specific policies and practices they have implemented towards greater inclusion. The document encourages feedback and provides contact information for the author.
Dag2 01 pedro_matthynssens_cfo_conferenz
This document discusses platforms and how they create value. It provides examples of companies like Amazon, Ping An, and Tesla that have built highly valuable platforms. The key points made are:
1) The 7 most valuable companies in the world are based on platform business models that disrupt traditional industries like transportation, finance, and media.
2) Ping An is an insurance company that has spun off technology companies valued at over $16 billion and employs 22,000 people in R&D, showing how platforms can create new business opportunities.
3) Tesla is creating a mobility platform through products like solar roofs, electric vehicles, and self-driving technology to redefine transportation.
Dag2 02 kristof_stouthuysen_cfo_conferenz
The document discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) presents both opportunities and threats for the finance function. It notes that data has become the most valuable resource, surpassing oil, and that machine learning and data analytics are increasingly important. A survey of Belgian CFOs found they expect to spend more time on strategic decision making, performance management, and risk management in the future. However, CFOs consider themselves least effective in technology and data-related areas. The document concludes that for CFOs to be effective in the future, they will need to embrace technology and AI more in order to create and protect business value in a data-driven society.
02 simon logghe_ml6
ML6 is a machine learning company with 50+ experts that provides machine learning solutions and equips 20% of Belgian companies with AI. It has offices in multiple countries and is a premier partner of Google Cloud. The document discusses trends in AI like large datasets and better models enabling machines to learn rules rather than being explicitly programmed. It provides examples of using machine learning and cognitive technologies in finance for tasks like financial planning, investor relations, accounts payable, risk management, and accounting.
01 robert debeukelaer_groups
RPA (robotic process automation) and data management technologies have been the most useful for companies deploying AI according to an EY AI innovation leader. As AI is increasingly deployed, companies need to continually upgrade their tools and rethink finance processes like period closes to take advantage of AI while properly managing data, change and communication across teams.
Jan Casteels - Duracell
The document provides information about Duracell's supply chain and 80/20 analysis methodology. It summarizes Duracell's size and global operations. It then discusses the 80/20 principle and how it can be applied to simplify operations by focusing resources on the top 20% of customers, products, suppliers that generate 80% of value. Methods for 80/20 analysis through quadrant analysis and ranking customers and products are presented to identify areas of focus and opportunities.
Christoph De Jaeger - C&A
C&A is a global fashion retailer with over 1,500 stores in Europe and 1,900 worldwide. The document discusses C&A's supply chain finance program, which aims to lower costs and increase transparency. It oversaw a transformation of C&A's sourcing from 2013-2016, implementing supplier scorecards, cost transparency, and target tracking. This resulted in over 300 million euros in savings over four years, helping offset currency and cost pressures. The program brings finance, sourcing, logistics and other functions together to manage suppliers and costs across the entire supply chain.

David Ducheyne (Otolith) #cfoconferenz
The document discusses how numbers are often used to motivate employees but can actually demotivate them. It provides several reasons why, such as numbers oversimplifying reality, becoming the target rather than a progress measure, and inspiring risky behaviors. The document recommends that to motivate with numbers, organizations should ensure the numbers are meaningful to employees, within their influence, support the overall purpose, and are easy to understand rather than complex or linked to rewards/punishment. An assessment should also consider if numbers could encourage behaviors that go against trust and values. Overall, the context in which numbers are used, including the leadership and communication around them, significantly impacts employee motivation.
Bruno Lowagie (iText) #cfoconferenz
The document discusses blockchain technology and its potential use cases. It provides an overview of hashing and how it is used to create a cryptographic fingerprint or message digest of digital content. It then explains how distributed ledger technology (DLT) uses hashing and consensus between nodes to record transactions in an immutable and decentralized manner, like in blockchain networks. Specific examples covered include how Bitcoin uses cryptography and mining to create and transact the cryptocurrency. The document also discusses how smart contracts can automate predefined terms and conditions using blockchain. Several potential future use cases are proposed, such as tracking supply chain provenance, managing medical records, and notarizing legal documents with long-term validation.
