Controller Institut: Our Strong Partner in Vienna With 40 Years of Expertise in Financial Organization

Anniversary slide of the Controller Institut, cooperation partner of Munich Business School

Since 2017, Munich Business School (MBS) and the Vienna Controller Institut have been engaged in a strategic cooperation in the field of professional education and training. The aim of this cooperation is to create a unique educational offering in the areas of strategic management, controlling, finance and leadership development in southern Germany.


With its seminars and courses developed by experts from science and practice, the Vienna Controller Institut has been successfully established on the Austrian training and further education market for 40 years.

Controller Institut – 40 Years of Expertise in Education and Training

It is fully committed to Peter Senge’s credo on the learning organization: “Only those who learn quickly and in a targeted manner and attentively follow the changes of the times have the best chances of surviving on the market”. This is more relevant today than ever before, because the transformative forces of digitalization, sustainability and new work mean that no stone is left unturned. This has far-reaching effects on the mindset in organizations, the understanding of leadership, the search for appropriate ways of working and methods. They determine what organizations and their employees have to achieve today and tomorrow: agility, adaptability and innovation are in high demand, expertise is required. The work of the Controller Institut is therefore dedicated to the question of how transformation can succeed in organizations and, in particular, in the CFO organization. Founded as a “synthesis of the arts” by Prof. Dr. Rolf Eschenbach at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, it was intended to promote training and continuing education in controlling, to link science and practice and to form a community of committed practitioners. This idea is the foundation of the success story of the Controller Institut and is also omnipresent in today’s vision:

“The Austrian Controller Institut as a compass, pacesetter and partner of the learning organization, which imparts competencies to its customers quickly, flexibly and in a targeted manner. In this way, we help our customers to master challenges better than others, especially in the context of transformation.”

Rita Niedermayr, Managing Director of the Controller Institut
