Valcon

"Why do you work at Valcon?" We asked four colleagues this question to learn why Valcon is the right fit for them. They said: Eva Pere, Consultant, Consulting, The Netherlands “I joined Valcon because we stand out in how we work with clients, not just advising from the sidelines but building real solutions #together. What keeps me happy here are my talented colleagues and our great company culture. Knowledge sharing is part of who we are; everyone is curious about what others are working on and eager to learn from it. There’s always someone ready to offer a fresh perspective, whether it’s on data, tech or consulting. That’s what makes Valcon a place where I can keep learning and truly enjoy what I do.” Mario Zeljko, Senior Specialist, Technology, Croatia “What drew me to Valcon was the chance to keep learning and growing while working with great people. As a Mendix developer, I’m always exploring new ways to solve problems and deliver value #together with supportive, open and fun colleagues. I really appreciate how much Valcon invests in our well-being with a strong focus on mental health and work-life balance. The positive atmosphere in our Croatian office and within my project team makes every day enjoyable and fulfilling — and Valcon a place where I truly feel at home.” Vikki Pickerell (Grzes), Senior Specialist, Business Enablement, The UK “I love working at Valcon because people genuinely care - about their work, their colleagues and doing things the right way. I get to build people-focused processes that make a real difference and help the business run smoothly. No two days are the same, which keeps things exciting and full of learning opportunities. I feel trusted to take ownership, drive improvements and try new ideas. What really makes Valcon special is the culture; everyone is approachable, supportive and willing to get stuck in. That mix of meaningful work, great people, and genuine flexibility makes being here so rewarding.” Denislava Koulekova, Senior Manager, Consulting, The Nordics “What I like about working at Valcon is the emphasis on delivering value for our clients by bringing innovative and fresh thinking that challenges the norms to drive real change. As an individual, you’re encouraged to grow and develop every day through projects, internal initiatives and collaboration with inspiring, talented and smart people. What I value most is that even when times get busy and intense, there’s always a colleague ready to cheer you up, encourage you and offer a helping hand.” Is Valcon the right fit for you?

No sooner have we got our heads around GenAI, a new kid arrives on the block, Agentic AI. This is next-level stuff. Where GenAI acts as a very efficient assistant, Agentic AI is more like a colleague; it can take a complex question, break it down into smaller parts and coordinate individual agents to complete these tasks in the right order. Will it replace humans? It won’t, but teams will start to integrate Agentic AI components with humans left to do the quality control, oversight and responsible decision-making. Read on here to find five facts about Agentic AI: https://lnkd.in/dfAq_2ge If you would like to talk about Agentic AI and GenAI and how you can start to harness these technologies in your organisation, please get in touch with our Valcon colleagues Koko Visser at [email protected] and Luuk van Maasakkers at [email protected]. #agenticai #genai #aiagents #aiassistants #efficiency #implementingyourfuture
