Elevating the Role of Mobility

Chris Binding

By: Akhbar Hameed, Vice President, Asia Pacific

The Mobility function is undergoing incredible change. I’m sure you realize just as I do that the door has been opened for us to shift from being a transactional shared service (“Relocate this person or team from point A to point B…and don’t spend any more than you have to!”) to a value-added internal consultant – a trusted advisor. The new global realities are that talent is valuable, talent is mobile and borders are less and less barriers.

If your Mobility strategy isn’t seizing on these new realities, you’re missing a huge opportunity. Your organization needs Mobility’s perspective in order to compete on the global stage. But if your Mobility department is stuck in the transactional mode you’re missing out. We want to help.

It’s my privilege to host the insideMOBILITY® Global Summit in Singapore on September 21. Mobility leaders and managers will have the opportunity to develop a plan that will elevate their Mobility programs to be an internal partner, adding value across and at the highest levels of their organizations.

 

The Summit

Industry leaders will walk Summit attendees through a series of focused exercises and assessments. You’ll integrate your personalized organizational insights into a unique, progressive strategy to elevate your Mobility program so you can enhance key initiatives and priorities throughout your company.

But that’s not all we’ll do that day in Singapore. Our team has put together an agenda that’s very relevant to this region, including a session on how the “gig economy” could affect your Mobility program. And we’ve built in plenty of time for networking and sharing insights with your Mobility peers.

Speaking of that, I don’t know what it is about the Mobility profession. The culture of mutual support, shared learning and mentoring is unlike anything I’ve heard of in any other discipline. Maybe that’s because for years we’ve commiserated with each other in that transactional world! Yes, Mobility is changing, but, fortunately, that familial spirit remains.

That spirit is the driving force behind the insideMOBILITY program, which Graebel has helped sponsor for more than a decade. We want to transform the industry, and insideMOBILITY has emerged as one of the biggest catalysts for positive change in Mobility.

Please register today and make your plans to join us on September 21 for the 2018 Global Mobility Summit in Singapore. I’m looking forward to welcoming colleagues from around the APAC region for an important day of learning, personal growth and networking. A day of taking a breath to focus on bigger things – like strategy, the future of Mobility, lessons we can learn from each other and forming/reinforcing the professional friendships we share throughout this industry!
