VEGO values

Seven values, defined over two decades

Values are the choices and beliefs of VEGO's teams. They are the filters through which we relate to ourselves (individually and collectively), to clients, partners, authorities and civil society.

They guide behaviours, and behaviours are what create synergy across VEGO's teams. There are seven of them, defined over the past two decades.

PeopleTimeInnovationCommitmentResponsibilityCompetenceCooperation
01People (the team)

Work ennobles people, brings personal joy and creates value. People is the most important resource and the only value that cannot be replaced.

VEGO constantly attracts young, highly qualified talent. VEGO is a dynamic, agile and versatile team whose professional standards keep rising.

02Time
“Time is the only resource that you gain by spending, and lose by not spending.”Virgil Profeanu

At VEGO, “time” is the watchword and the central pillar of every activity. Strategic planning ensures proper management of the time devoted to the company and a focus on continuous professional development. Time at VEGO has three facets:

  • The time VEGO buys from employees each month. We turn it into deliverables.
  • The employee's time – I respect you and make sure you do not work overtime. I respect you and actively provide a proper environment, modern methodologies and quality infrastructure.
  • The client's time (timeline). I focus on meeting the deadline and on taking as little of the client's time as possible with their project.
03Innovation
“A master's modus vivendi is to guide their creative self along the birth of ideas, in a synergistic work that resonates with humanity's needs (constraints) and the universe's resources (laws).”Virgil Profeanu
“Scientific research is probably the most altruistic use of intelligence. Approaching deliverables through innovation ensures sustainable development is applied.”Virgil Profeanu
“The beginning of science is understanding what we do not know. Today's inspiration is tomorrow's innovation.”Virgil Profeanu
04Commitment

Creating material or spiritual value and fulfilling ideals takes effort and sacrifice. We are committed and devoted to success, both as a goal in itself and as a means to reach other objectives. Your focus and care in managing every step toward success is the best proof of your commitment.

05Responsibility

Strength and patience, effort and dedication fulfil one's professional calling and bring success.

  • VEGO supports you in becoming responsible, in owning your success, and assists you in overcoming the obstacles inherent to an ambitious professional journey.
06Professional competence
“You are always a novice at something, knowledgeable at something else, a teacher in one thing and perhaps a genius in another.”Virgil Profeanu
  • VEGO guides you in turning your talent into solid competence, through a results-oriented management system and carefully designed, well-implemented actions.
07Cooperation

Using free will, wisdom, principles and the desire to do things well, we will find balance.

  • VEGO is the optimal professional setting for growth.
  • VEGO is the opportunity to learn and to share your own experience for the development of your team.

How we workPostulate

“A person canNOT work on two assignments at once. An assignment canNOT be carried out by two people at once. Collective simultaneous actions are called work sessions or team assignments. At VEGO, teamwork runs through the GAME mechanism. At VEGO, time turns into value through tasks. Tasks are the bricks from which a deliverable is built, and the deliverable is the basic component of the objective. Every action is planned at task level. Actions (tasks) are planned as: i) assignment, to-do; ii) delegated assignment; iii) team assignment, working meeting, work session (game). Tasks converge toward achieving the deliverable.”Virgil Profeanu
