Geopolitical instability, changing immigration regimes, economic nationalism, conflict and regulatory complexity are creating an increasingly unpredictable environment for international business. Yet organisations still need to access critical skills and deploy talent quickly. As traditional mobility models come under pressure, Global Mobility has an opportunity to move beyond operational delivery and become a vital strategic adviser to the business. How can mobility teams anticipate disruption, build greater agility into their programmes and help their organisations make smarter decisions about where, when and how talent moves?

We’ll explore:

• How geopolitical and economic change is reshaping global talent deployment As many economies grapple with slow growth and low productivity, they also face a shortage of key talent, yet this is set against often very vocal anti-immigration sentiment. What is the future of global mobility in the face of populist feeling that increasingly seems to reject globalisation?
• Preparing for sudden immigration, tax, sanctions and regulatory changes Are traditional assignment models still agile enough for today's business?
• Using business travel, commuting, remote working and alternative mobility solutions
• Building contingency planning and resilience into mobility programmes
• Balancing speed and commercial priorities with compliance and duty of care Identifying emerging locations, risks and opportunities before the business asks
• What do you need to know to negotiate these changes and what could be the implications for extended business travel, cross-border and ‘virtual’ working?
• How can GM leverage its unique cross-border knowledge to influence senior business decisions?
