How business architecture helps you navigate a tough economic backdrop
By Michael Downie – Senior Consultant

Blending nearshore and onshore: The best way to structure a digitalisation team
By Paul ten Haaf – Partner
There were few silver linings to the COVID-19 pandemic. But showing that remote working is possible was one of them. For companies who were unsure of nearshoring (the process of sending technology or business processes to a mid-distance location) or offshoring (the same to a long distance location), the pandemic demonstrated how having a multi-location workforce can work – and not just work, but work better than it did before. As a result, post pandemic, the blended, hybrid model has evolved, with people working from home and the office, and organisations operating teams across a mix of locations and working environments.

International Women’s Day: Women’s journeys in tech, data and consulting
2023 marks the 47th International Women’s Day (IWD). The United Nations created IWD as a marker to recognise women’s suffrage and the journey to equality that women have been on in the last century. And it’s very recent history. In Europe, Finland was the first country to give women the vote in 1906, with Lichtenstein being the last country to join the movement in 1984.
Along with other diversity issues, such as race, sexuality and background, Valcon recognises the importance of gender equality in the workforce and strives to create equal education, job opportunities and salaries for women. To mark the 2023 IWD, Valcon has spoken to women across its geographies and business areas to get their views and perspectives on women in consultancy, technology and data. Please read on to get their thoughts on what it is like to be a woman working in our industry.
