On Hichert Certified Consultant (HCC) training
“As the CEO of a management consulting company, I see great potential to advise companies on the introduction of information design. The certification training by Prof. Dr. Hichert to become a Hichert Certified Consultant (HCC) is proof positive of the high level of technical and methodological expertise of a consultant in this hot topic. For this reason, I am proud that our company is currently the only one to have four Hichert Certified Consultants. Our customers appreciate this high level of training.” |

On the lecture at IHK in Heilbronn from June 9, 2011:
“I am a ‘proud member’ of the Heilbronn ‘SUCCESS Fan Club’ mentioned by Prof. Dr. Dillerup on June 9th. I had already become acquainted with Prof. Hichert’s methods at a one-day seminar in 2006. The seminar brought about an absolutely positive change in the way I view reports – it was the best seminar I have ever attended! I heartily recommend this seminar and hope that many controllers will be inspired by the Hichert method because, in my opinion, bad reporting causes hidden costs of dramatic proportion and poses risks of making bad decisions, which should not be underestimated.” |

On the seminar in Hanover from January 31and February 1, 2011:
“SUCCESS means exactly that! It is basically sums up Dr. Hichert’s seminar.
The military lives by notifications and standardized rules. To this end, we will logically be implementing the Hichert method of reporting of cost and management accounting and army controlling. We have already taken the first steps. It was worth our while to attend the SUCCESS seminar, it was an intense and creative introductory event.” |

On the lecture at the Technical University of Munich from January 26, 2011:
“Hundreds of students in the auditorium of the Technical University of Munich listened spellbound as Rolf Hichert initiated them in the secrets of good reports and presentations. For me, it was the most entertaining and, at the same time, informative lecture that I have heard in the last several years.”

I have benefited greatly from Hichert’s teachings on efficient communication from the very beginning – both in my private as well as professional network – from various lectures, seminars, and even from the cartoons.
I closely follow this positive development and am delighted every time a colleague is inspired by this idea and also shares this insight.”

Following numerous in-house seminars and a project spanning several years in the Federal Employment Agency:
“Leadership through goals and clear personal responsibility for achieving goals on-site are the basic principles of a new model of controlling.
The expectation of a meaningful reporting and presentation system is correspondingly high. Here is where the principles of design from Prof. Hichert come into play. They are not an end in Business Administration in themselves; rather they are an elementary part of the transparency concept in the course of labor market reform – and the express will of Chief Executive Officer Frank-J. Weise.” |

On the “Management Reports and Presentations” Seminar in Vienna from October 7, 2008:
“Prof. Hichert truly deserves the title of ‘Chart Guru.’ Whoever would like to work constructively and professionally with charts and tables cannot do without him. The two days in Vienna were packed so full of information, it took us four months to implement all of the valuable recommendations in our company. For us, the transition was a quantum leap in information design. We now also save a great deal of time every week, because every consultant knows exactly how charts and tables should appear.” |

On the lecture at Joanneum Fachhochschule in Kapfenberg from June 13, 2007:
"Prof. Hichert has immortalized himself with us at the university. “This chart hasn’t been given the ‘Hichert treatment’ yet!’ has become a familiar saying and every report must adhere to the Hichert rules. The 150 persons in the audience in the Audimax agreed: It was one of the best events ever – receiving an average evaluation of 1.1! The positive feedback verbatim: ‘The best presentation to date, very informative, well implemented – clear message.' There was some negative feedback as well: "The lecture was too short.” |

On the presentation to the City of Zurich from March 9, 2007 in Zurich "Say what must be said. Companywide rules for reports and presentations":
"Professor Hichert reported on the ERPplus Project (introduction of SAP for the entire Zurich city council as of January 2008) to the 80 internal and external key project members and he managed to excite even experienced external consultants about simplified reporting and structuring of reports. A lot of it sounds trivial, but you first have to give some consideration to this principle of simplicity and clarity and then put it into practice. The project staff have taken these important aspects of the lecture and used them as input and their project work has benefited from it." |

"Even before the seminar with Dr. Hichert, we had taken several steps towards improving information density and the structure of information in reporting. The seminar was then the proverbial icing on the cake, clearly showing us the way. We have revised our management reports accordingly, and whenever we design new reports, we always adhere to the "SUCCESS" criteria. Management is grateful to us. I heartily recommend this seminar." |

"What is important in (business) life: content or form? Form without content is mindless medialism, it comes across as a talk show, casting show, or like PowerPoint karaoke. Content without form is communicative autism, to which people are quick to attach an air of peculiar ingenuity. Effective communication, therefore, means: content and form. In my opinion, Rolf Hichert is the master of this difficult balance." |

"This seminar is far better than anything I have seen or heard. Aside from the numerous tricks and tips regarding presentation techniques, information processing, presentation options, in the shortest amount of time the speaker managed to impart his audience with many practical applications for immediate implementation. Above all board members, CEOs, decision-makers, etc. will greatly enjoy this seminar: They will quickly realize that the options for data processing and presentation will greatly facilitate the decision-making process. This seminar is a MUST for anyone who wants to perfect his internal and external performance (reporting, decision-making)." |

"Dear Rolf, you have brought the art of management information design closer to perfection than anyone else on the world scale. I have overcome the barriers of distance and language (and cost ;-) ) to attend your workshops and they were a true eye-opener. My high expectations were completely fulfilled. Anyone, who is subjected to these workshops will never look at management reporting with the same eyes again. And all this knowledge can be immediately implemented in practice. Simply a must for anyone involved in reporting, especially for controllers. Thank you so much for letting me spread your ideas in my part of the world."

The first reaction from our managing director was extremely positive: Finally, a better overview and faster recognition of where the problems lie. I’ve caught the bug...thanks to Dr. Hichert. Your approach is a giant leap towards good controlling." |

On the SAP Info Days from October 9 and 10, 2007 in Dusseldorf "The Absolute Insight":"I actually had no interest in attending any more conferences and information events where you are inundated with PowerPoint slides packed full of charts and common sayings. The highly praised handouts, which cost a fortune (3times as much as a good text book) turn out to consist of exactly these slides, which you already didn’t understand during the lecture. The case is just the opposite with Mr. Hichert: refreshing, the slides underscore what is discussed, they are eye-catching, revealing, and reach the audience, because they produce a “wow” effect." |

On the in-house seminar from July 2/3, 2007 in Bern:
"I came across the MEHR GÜTE concept from Professor Hichert by chance. Intuitively, I immediately realized that he had gotten to the heart of one of the few real truths. Our company specializes in information security: Obviously in our field there is either “right or wrong,” yet the fact that this also applies to presentations and reports was surprising and welcome news to us. Thanks to the tailored in-house seminar, today my team now possesses knowledge of the methods and applies the same standards for higher quality communication. Thank you so much, Mr. Hichert!" |

Retrospectively on a seminar at MIS AG from March 2, 2005 in Munich:
"The ideas and the MEHR GÜTE approach presented in half a day opened my eyes to how much “ballast” we are burdened with in day-to-day business. “Less is more!” and that this "less" can then be well formulated and condensed have been my guiding principles for presentations ever since. It works very well this way, even better to be precise!" |

"The MEHR GÜTE approach generates added value through less ballast and clearer communication. In addition to the “wow” effect ("It really works"), we were also able to simplify our charts directly and thus providing greater efficiency. With the help of Mr. Hichert’s ideas, we have, as a result, not only optimized our information “vehicles,” we have also managed to partly stem the flood of information. (Not everything possible, but just what is necessary.)" |

On the ZfU Seminar "Designing Management Reports with Professional Charts" from May 8 and 9, 2007 in Pfäffikon/SZ:
This seminar is absolute must for everyone who works in the reporting field. Mr. Hichert pulls no punches when he shows where the weaknesses are found in existing management reports, at the same time showing many concrete practical examples of how to correct them. Through his professional style of lecturing, garnished with humor and pointed remarks, every participant will find sudden insight at this event. Personally motivated by Mr. Hichert and his concept, we at HOCHLAND will be trying to establish and implement a new management reporting system in the coming months. |

On the ZfU-Seminar in Pfäffikon from June 29-30, 2006:
"Thank you for a seminar that was exciting, informative, and above all in step with actual practice. There are many things which I will be able to apply to the next management report. I was amazed at what can be achieved with the Excel chart function – without complicated VB programming which later would often be difficult (for third parties) to comprehend. I also enjoyed the theoretical part very much. What stuck with me the most was that charts are not an end in themselves; rather they should serve to convey a message to the observer. This seemingly obvious principle is only rarely adhered to in many reports and presentations. To paraphrase Goethe, I read many business reports with a grin since the seminar: I do indeed see the chart, I just don’t see the message. I can heartily recommend this seminar." |

On the in-house seminar “Management Reports and Presentations” in Graz from June 12-13, 2006:
"The colorful mix of participants from various divisions of our subsidiaries was fascinated by the numerous Excel tricks. It became clear that less is indeed often more! Management is often unhappy with internal reports, yet is often unable to say what needs improvement. This seminar makes it clear that management’s demand for higher information density can and must be met! We finally have the tool to give management reports the essential message!" |

In-house seminar on May 16, 2006 in Bonn:
"We had a one-day in-house seminar and realized that we could do everything better. Prof. Dr. Hichert showed us the importance of “less is more,” particularly in graphs. He showed us how to create clear graphs which management could read as well as understand. The examples were clear and descriptive – and were possible to implement without programming skills. Absolutely great. My recommendation: Set aside two days. |

Vienna, 11. Mai 2006:
"I became acquainted with Professor Hichert at a lecture which immediately got my attention. The topic addressed my exact field of work (standard reporting for the board of directors) Many details were addressed: How information can be conveyed undistorted, transparently, and above all understandably. For some time, I have been following the line of effective reporting. Now I am also able to perfectly work along this line by using the many "tricks" and by pointing out "bad reporting habits." I would like to mention one more thing: Since we have implemented these recommendations, our reports are virtually going like hot cakes." |

University of Rostock on April 6 and 7, 2006:
"180 students, employees, and controllers came to the lecture; the auditorium was virtually bursting at the seams. The powerful lecture "Do You Have PowerPoints or Do You Have Something to Say" had us glued to our seats. To have the common "presentation sins" shown so vividly was both exciting and inspiring. The topic was discussed lively later outside the auditorium. The workshop the following day for a smaller group dealt with the tools for more meaningful business charts. A chart was developed according to the "Hichert Standard" in a step by step manner. While the students were amazed most at the options for using Excel, the controllers were excited about the new ways to express figures. Now there are a lot of Hichert fans in Rostock. These were great events, thank you!" |

On the lecture in Vienna from March 15, 2006:
"The second half-day event with Prof. Hichert on "Information Design" took place on March 15, 2006 in Vienna in the Penta-Hotel. With more than 170 participants, this conference was again a complete success. This year Prof. Hichert exercised strong criticism once more regarding the subject of information design, but again with humor. I am of the opinion that in the German-speaking region there is no one else who deals so critically and competently with the topic of management reports and presentations. His sharp criticism of the rampant "PowerPoint culture" gave many participants a laugh as well as cause for thought. We thank him and look forward to future projects." |

On the in-house workshop in Vevey in September of 2005:
"Mr. Hichert has done an excellent job of identifying what needs to be improved when we communicate quantitative information to managers and decision makers. His key messages are simple but up to the point, and they can be memorized and applied easily. He has much more examples on how to do it rather than how not to do it; this is exceptional! His talk has created a lot of statements like "Yes, that's true; I need to review this in the charts I prepared yesterday" among the participants. And if you get that kind of response, then the first step is complete. It is now up to us, those that have had the privilege to listen to him, to spread the word further." |

This day was not only extremely informative, it was also highly entertaining. Thanks to his experience and his knowledge of the difference between the usual PowerPoint practice and his ability to convey information in a readily understood manner, Professor Hichert was able to clearly demonstrate very vividly using concrete examples. We will be implementing many of his suggestions and expect to greatly improve our management information by making it more efficient and effective." |

On the seminar "Is the Controller Communicating What is of Interest to the Manager?" Bern 2004:
"Prof. Hichert has found (invented) a way to make figures and graphs talk, so that they convey a message. In addition, discussions did not focus on all sorts of complicated tools, rather they merely dealt with the use of Excel or PowerPoint. Exactly those tools that every controller claims to use on a daily basis. After this first encounter with Mr. Hichert, a “wow” experience is guaranteed." |
