PEC Zwolle bring in familiar face as new general manager
Joost Broerse has been announced as the new general manager of PEC Zwolle. The Zwolle player comes over from FC Utrecht, where he was commercial director in recent years. The 46-year-old Broerse starts his new job on 1 July.
Broerse was already associated with PEC as commercial director between 2015 and 2018. As a player he was active in Zwolle between 2012 and 2015, with the former central defender part of the team that won the KNVB Cup and the Johan Cruyff Shield in 2014.
'I was at a point in my career to take a new path,' Broerse said. 'It's great that PEC approached me at this time to become general manager, something I've been aspiring to for a long time.'
This news followed PEC's announcement on Wednesday that Henry van der Vegt (53) will be head coach as of next season. The Kampenaar, currently assistant coach in Zwolle, will succeed the departing Johnny Jansen and will sign a contract until the summer of 2027.
PEC almost assured itself of staying in the Eredivisie last weekend with a 1-3 victory at NAC Breda. They host Go Ahead Eagles this Sunday.

What Every Startup Can Learn From The Gaming Industry's Epic Business Model Evolution
By Matt Lhoumeau, CEO of Concord I'll never forget the first time I played World of Warcraft. It was 2005, I was working at a telecom company in France, and I couldn't understand why anyone would pay €13 every month just to play a game they'd already bought. Fast forward to today, and that 'crazy' subscription model generates billions annually. The gaming industry didn't just change how we play – it revolutionized how businesses think about customer relationships, revenue models, and long-term value creation. As someone who's built a company serving over 1,500 businesses, I've watched countless startups struggle with the same challenges game developers faced 20 years ago: How do you create sustainable revenue? How do you keep customers engaged? How do you scale without losing your soul? The answers, surprisingly, come from an industry that turned 'Game Over' into 'New Game+'. From One-and-Done to Games as a Service The gaming industry's transformation mirrors what every modern business needs to understand. In the 1990s, game developers had one shot: ship a cartridge, hope it sells, move on to the next project. Sound familiar? That's how most businesses still operate – one transaction, one customer interaction, hope for the best. Then everything changed. Games became services. Relationships became ongoing. Revenue became recurring. This shift didn't happen overnight, and it wasn't without casualties. For every Fortnite generating $5 billion annually from a free game, there's an Anthem or Babylon's Fall that crashed and burned. The difference? Understanding that the business model is as important as the product itself. The Free-to-Play Revolution: When Giving Away Your Product Makes You Rich Here's where it gets interesting for startups. The gaming industry discovered something counterintuitive: sometimes the best way to make money is to give your product away for free. League of Legends, one of the most profitable games ever created, costs nothing to play. Yet it generates over $1.5 billion annually. How? By fundamentally rethinking the value exchange. Instead of charging for access, they charge for enhancement. Instead of one big payment, they enable thousands of micro-transactions. Instead of hoping customers stay, they continuously provide reasons to engage. This isn't just about games. When we built Concord, we applied similar thinking. Instead of charging huge upfront fees like traditional enterprise software, we made it accessible to small businesses with flexible pricing. We learned that lowering barriers to entry while providing continuous value creates stronger, more profitable relationships than any one-time sale ever could. The Contract Behind the Controller What most people don't realize is that every modern game is essentially a complex web of contracts and agreements. When you download Fortnite, you're not just getting a game – you're entering into terms of service, privacy agreements, content licenses, and potentially hundreds of micro-contracts for every in-game purchase. This is where my world intersects with gaming in fascinating ways. Modern game companies need sophisticated procurement contract management software to handle relationships with: Platform providers (Steam, Epic, PlayStation, Xbox) Payment processors for multiple currencies and methods Cloud service providers for massive multiplayer infrastructure Content creators and licensing partners Localization and distribution partners globally One AAA game studio we work with manages over 3,000 vendor contracts just for a single game launch. Miss a renewal with your cloud provider? Your game goes offline. Mess up a licensing agreement? Your soundtrack disappears. The stakes are massive, and manual management is impossible. Data: The Real Power-Up Gaming companies were among the first to truly understand the power of analytics. Every click, every purchase, every rage quit – it's all data that drives decisions. Riot Games processes 500 billion events monthly from League of Legends alone. That's not just impressive; it's instructive. Modern contract analytics software applies the same principles to business operations. Just as game developers track player engagement to optimize experiences, businesses can track contract performance to optimize relationships. Which vendors deliver on time? Which contracts generate the most value? Where are the bottlenecks in your approval process? The gaming industry learned that data without action is just expensive storage. The same applies to any business. It's not enough to collect information – you need systems that surface insights and enable rapid response. The Subscription Economy: Lessons from the MMO Masters Remember when buying software meant getting a box with CDs? Gaming killed that model first. World of Warcraft proved that players would pay monthly for ongoing value. Xbox Game Pass took it further – why buy games when you can access hundreds for $15/month? This shift required fundamental changes in how companies operate: Continuous Content Creation : You can't charge monthly for a static product. Game developers learned to ship updates constantly, creating reasons for players to stay engaged. Every business needs to think the same way – what's your content strategy? Community Management : Subscription models live or die on retention. Gaming companies invest heavily in community managers, moderators, and engagement specialists. Your customer success team is your guild leader. Predictable Revenue Operations : When players subscribe, you can forecast revenue months in advance. But this requires sophisticated systems to manage billing, renewals, and churn prevention – exactly the kind of operational excellence that modern contract management enables. The Platform Play: Building Ecosystems, Not Just Products Perhaps the biggest lesson from gaming is the power of platforms. Steam didn't just sell games – it became the place where PC gaming happens. Epic Games leveraged Fortnite's success to launch a competing store. Roblox turned players into developers, creating a $45 billion ecosystem where users generate the content. For startups, this means thinking beyond your immediate product. How can you create a platform that others build upon? How can you turn customers into partners? How can you enable ecosystem growth? This requires sophisticated partner management, clear agreements, and scalable operations – challenges that multiplayer game developers have been solving for years. The Dark Side: Lessons from Loot Box Controversies Not every gaming innovation should be copied. The loot box controversy teaches valuable lessons about customer trust and sustainable practices. When EA's Star Wars Battlefront II locked progression behind randomized purchases, the backlash was swift and severe. The game that was supposed to print money became a cautionary tale. The lesson? Short-term monetization tactics that exploit customers will eventually backfire. Building sustainable businesses requires balancing value creation with value capture. Your pricing model should feel fair, transparent, and aligned with customer success. Your Next Level Awaits The gaming industry's evolution from product to service, from transaction to relationship, from single-player to massive multiplayer, offers a masterclass in business model innovation. But these lessons only matter if you can execute on them. Here's your quest log for applying gaming wisdom to your startup: Rethink Your Revenue Model : Are you still selling products when you could be providing services? Consider how subscription, freemium, or platform models might transform your business. Invest in Infrastructure : Just as modern games require robust backend systems, your business needs operational excellence. Automate what you can, starting with critical processes like contract management. Embrace Continuous Delivery : Ship early, ship often, respond to feedback. The days of 'fire and forget' are over. Your product should evolve constantly. Build Community, Not Just Customer Base : Your most engaged users are your greatest asset. Invest in tools and processes that enable community growth. Make Data-Driven Decisions : If game companies can analyze billions of events, you can track your key metrics. Start with the basics and scale from there. Prepare for Global Scale : Gaming went global because digital distribution made borders irrelevant. Is your business ready for international growth? The gaming industry transformed because it had to. Faced with technological change, shifting consumer expectations, and intense competition, developers either evolved or disappeared. Every industry faces similar pressures now. The question isn't whether you need to transform – it's whether you'll learn from those who've already blazed the trail. Game Over? Not even close. For smart startups willing to learn from gaming's epic evolution, it's just the beginning of a whole new adventure. Ready Player One? Matt Lhoumeau is the co-founder and CEO of Concord, a contract management platform trusted by over 1,500 companies. A lifelong gamer turned entrepreneur, Matt discovered parallels between gaming's digital transformation and the operational challenges facing modern businesses.

Ireland Needs Fiscal Rule as Economic Risk Grows, Watchdog Warns
The Irish government should commit to a domestic fiscal rule so it can better plan spending as the economy enters uncertain territory, the state's fiscal watchdog warned. A global trade war stoked by US President Donald Trump is likely to have an outsized impact on Ireland, the strategic tax base for several multinational firms. Sticking to a fiscal rule would set a sustainable growth rate for spending net of tax changes, the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council said in its June fiscal assessment report.

What business leaders should think about now
What does the future hold for business leaders and entrepreneurs? With a rapidly changing world, how does one navigate a path to success? To get a better sense of where we are heading, I caught up with Futurist Joana Lenkova of Futures Forward, who shares insight on how leaders should be thinking about the future of their business. Q: Tell me a little bit about yourself and what a futurist does? Joana Lenkova: I have a background in brand, strategy, innovation, and foresight within large corporations like The Walt Disney Company and now the LEGO Group. In 2019, I founded Futures Forward, my own consultancy, which allows me to work not only with corporations but also with nongovernmental organizations, start-ups, and governmental institutions to imagine better futures for them. Q: How should business leaders and entrepreneurs be thinking about AI and the tools available to them now? Lenkova: For me the more interesting question isn't which tools we are using, it's what these tools are enabling us to do. We live in an age of radical accessibility. Entrepreneurs and professionals today have easy access to low or no-code platforms, AI assistants, a global freelance talent pool, and direct-to-consumer distribution platforms. I think the real shift is in speed, access, autonomy—and with AI it's agency. What used to require full teams and big capital can now be prototyped by one person over a weekend. Q: What about people who are about to start a company now? What advice would you give them as they consider using all this new technology? Lenkova: I have been thinking a lot about that because we tend to get enamored by technology. But what is the one thing that is as important today as it was in the past? Even though these tools have evolved, what really matters hasn't changed. It's still about having a clear vision, the ability to adapt, and to solve something meaningful. So, somebody launching a business now, you should really ask yourself, what is the real human need that I'm going to be serving? A lot of times businesses start from a technology, you know, let's develop this and let's experiment and prototype and see where it takes us. But in the end, it will be successful if it can be a solution for a meaningful future need. Q: How should business leaders and startup founders be thinking about building teams as many roles are now aided or replaced by AI? Lenkova: I think starting with the problem and not with the technology you use. Perhaps choose to hire versatile hybrid thinkers instead of deep specialists, especially when you need innovative solutions and quick adaptability as a business. Of course, the context is important. But that's exactly how futurists think—we look for cognitive diversity. There is interesting work from Scott Page, whose research shows that diverse groups of people can outperform homogenous groups of experts. Leaders sometimes tend to hire people who confirm their own biases unconsciously, but that's not healthy. You need people who can shine a light on your blind spots, not those who agree with you. Q: Do you think we are living in a time where we will witness the first solopreneur who utilizes technology and AI to become a billionaire? Lenkova: I wonder if we already have. With creators like MrBeast, for example, who are building these personal media brands in such a different way, creating new IPs, licensing, content, and product lines. Solopreneurs are super enabled today to reach vast global audiences and it can happen overnight using the available tools smartly. But the more interesting thing to me is that there is a shift in values. I really wonder if the next generation of founders are going to aspire to be billionaires in terms of dollars—or maybe this is just a hopeful scenario that I'm living in, that they would want to measure their success by impact or by freedom. So maybe the first 'billionaire' solopreneur will choose not to be one in the traditional sense. Q: Do you think we are heading in a direction where everyone will eventually need to become an entrepreneur or self-employed? Lenkova: Not necessarily, but we are in a world where entrepreneurial thinking is essential—even inside large companies. I think there definitely will be more experiments in new forms of governance. On one hand the change will manifest in a stronger connection to purpose, keeping the commercial organization structure but looking to generate value across people and planet in addition to profit. I see this in the future as a hygiene factor. Think regenerative systems. On the other hand, we're also seeing more importance placed on community-led brands, experiments with decentralized forms of governance, etc. But to allow for these changes, you have to remember that the legacy systems and ways of incentivizing governance boards and employees will have to change as well. Q: Anything you'd like to share with people launching a business right now? Lenkova: Yes—don't just build a product, build a worldview, have a purpose. It isn't enough to sell products, you really have to make positive change to humans, to the planet, to the community. Think about regenerative practices and look at multiple future scenarios. Think about what the world may look like, what you'd like the world to look like, and make it happen. Think about the future needs of your stakeholders and build solutions for those. What do you believe about the future that others don't yet see? Let that be your compass.
