Team IT Steering, Methods, and Processes

Our Responsibility
We support our IT & Digital colleagues in cross-team control, methods, and processes. This includes the active implementation of finance controlling and accounting, the collaborative development and sharing of best practices and guidelines in working methods, as well as the provision of control reports and dashboards. Our work is diverse: Preparing monthly financial statements, providing individual advice on methods and tools for the implementation of projects and initiatives, providing tools to support work methods or continuously adapting cross-team control dashboards according to requirements are just some examples. Together we pursue the vision of supporting and enabling the IT & Digital department to achieve the best outcome for the Hellmann F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Our Team
Our team consists of four people with different areas of expertise. Especially the combination of functional and technical expertise makes us strong! Not all of us have an IT background. Some of us have backgrounds in finance & controlling or management. We work together with all IT & Digital teams and have contact points with other departments such as Global Controlling. Collaboration is one of our priorities. We develop solutions not only for, but together with our colleagues. It is precisely this strongly interdisciplinary and international cooperation that characterizes our work and makes our team unique.

Our Technologies, Tools & Methods
In addition to the classic Microsoft Office applications, tools such as Planner, Power BI, Power Automate as well as Mercur, Oracle eBusiness Suite, Miro and Clarity are used daily by us. Mercur and Oracle eBusiness Suite are essential for our activities in the Finance & Controlling area. We use Miro for digital collaboration and the development of concepts, Clarity helps us to manage our capacities and topics in a targeted-oriented way. We also offer both Miro and Clarity to all other IT & Digital teams to support their work. Methodologically, we use the OKR method.
