With over 1,500 staff in multiple countries, pan-European consulting and technology company Valcon sees international collaboration and embracing new ways of working as a central element of the firm’s success on client projects and internally. Valcon members outline four main benefits they reap through cross-border teamwork and hybrid teams.
Talent and collaboration
One of the advantages of effective international collaboration is the ability to multiply our skills.
By working with people from different cultures and backgrounds, Valcon evolves new perspectives and techniques, which can be applied to our client projects. This means that we can improve our processes, increase efficiency, and ultimately create more value for our clients.
For example, our success in setting up a Data Science Center-of-Excellence at clients stems from leveraging our international work ethic and implementing a collaborative model in our work process. Cross-functional teams are at the forefront when integrating our solutions with customer use cases.
Remote and hybrid work
Remote work involves collaborating with individuals and companies from different countries or regions to complete our projects. A great example of our nearshore work model is a data-focused project where Danish consultants, English python developers, Dutch data engineers, and Croatian data scientists all work together to create cutting-edge solutions for financial institutions.
Hybrid work involves a combination of in-office and remote work. For Valcon, remote and hybrid work on projects is the way to harness diverse talent, reduce costs, and improve project outcomes. Collaborating with individuals and companies from different countries, Valcon can access a wider range of skills and knowledge, leading to more innovative and effective solutions.
Diverse and collaborative workplace
Diversity and collaboration are essential components of effective international co-operation at Valcon. The strong bond that binds our solutions is based on trust in people and technology. By fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, Valcon can attract talent from a wide range of backgrounds, which can lead to new ideas and perspectives.
Most importantly, collaboration is essential for achieving success in a world that is increasingly interconnected.
Communities
Our talent is fed by the collaborative efforts of our communities, with teaching and learning an integral part of the DNA of our people. Active participation beyond the confines of teams and projects, leads to high performance and effortless results fuelled by enthusiasm, curiosity, and a can-do attitude.
Collaborative training sessions, hackathons, joint ventures and innovation bootcamps keeps our talent on the forefront of their field of expertise.
At Valcon, we embrace international co-operation fuelled by remote and hybrid working, which multiplies our skills, and fosters a diverse and collaborative workplace.
