Looking for information:
There are information on more than 750
homepage sites to be found!Work information: changes on our WG sites, appointments of WGs or information for WGs themselves, yes, that the WGs’ sites are or can be updated.Special expert matters- single terms- partly found with definitionsI kind of didn’t manage to become specialized information. Perhaps it’s fault of the search function or the register?Results of the full-text search are (sometimes) incomplete and therefore unsatisfactory (green Controlling = documents 49. WG Berlin-Bbg. are missing)Short and precise appointments, there are some appointments under events, and then again under region or something, it’s confusing
...yes, this point is an important one!

Looking for information:
Appointments kept short and precise
Appointments on the WG sites are to be placed only via the module „Termin”: only then the appointments will appeara) on the sites „Termine der Arbeitskreise” andb) in the Controller Magazine.

Suggestions about what „there is missing”
Looking for ICV memebers was for me much more comfortable on the previous web siteNo, there are rather to many – I cannot get used to the four various navigation areas. The sites do not open up, but you get involved in opening them – this is demanding I miss the language selection from the previous site, it was available in the old versionyes, contributions of common association’s members from practicesome information are not up to date (2)Lack of ads; do I not pay the membership fee ...

Suggestions about what „there is missing”
Closed area- complicated access
Internationaler Controller Verein eV | ICV Leitungskreis, November 2011| Seite 29
Suggestions about what „there is missing”
Certain WG areas only for WGs (members’ administration, protocols!)It should be possible while looking for some data which are placed in the public area and are available for members only. In such a way new members will be generated.....Constantly changing pictures make an uneasy
impression of the site less text, more pictures altogether „ more fresh”more information in English
new administrator in PoznańTo bring work results from the idea workshops and
work groups generally closer to the members and
to make members aware of them, e.g. Through mails along with E-News

Suggestions about „what could be improved”
Address administration by members themselves, who are assignied to a work group, would be helpfulCurrent information (Ticker) about the DAX-developments and the EURO curses are a valuable addition, completed with top news from financial word. All this e.g. „sponsored by Handelsblatt“ / n-tv.More marketing for the website – many controllers know about the website, but what they don’t know is which informaiton they can get there. More advertisement for: Facebook, Twitter etc.....With one button positioned experts’ forum for new trends in controllingLinks to the archives from the events are sometimes a bit hidden(CC, regional events).

Suggestions about „what could be improved”
Handling the sites of the work groups
is for occasional user (uploading
documents etc.) complicated.Handling of the editors part is not
intuitive. Making changes requires
much searching and can be done
often only manually.
All possible improvements require organisational changes in the ICV –unfortunately I can not see such – that’s why I have no suggestions.

1. Terms are to be placed via the module „Termin”: only then the appointments will appeara) on the sites „Termine der Arbeitskreise” andb) in the Controller Magazine.

3. Information please always send to Hans-Peter Sander and Brigitte Arnegger. They both decide then who, what , how and where processes them.
4. ControllingWiki entries are really easy to make – but if it should prove to be too complicated please e-mail Brigitte Arnegger; she takes care of making your entry…
