The new competitive advantage of regional firms
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026

In this episode of the Future of the Firm podcast, Geert van den Goor, CEO at Valcon, joins Emma Carroll, Head of Client Voice at Source, to talk about the new competitive advantage of regional firms. Geert takes us through Valcon's growth journey towards a "European powerhouse" model that balances regional expertise with the scale necessary to deliver tangible, AI-driven business transformation. In this episode, we explore the following questions and more: Given the rapid pace of political and economic change, will transformation work itself need to change? How is client behaviour evolving in Europe, and how does this differ to in the US? What are the advantages of a firm that acts as a "regional powerhouse"? What will be critical to success of regional firms in the next five years?
