Opening Panel Discussion: Adjusting to a New World Order – Can Mobility Lead the Way?

-

Panel discussion Plenary Room - Liberty Hall

With conflict in the Middle East and rapid regime change, geo-political and environmental disruption is on a scale that we have not seen since the 1930s.

We are seeing fast-changing immigration and tax regulations, tariffs and changes to trade agreements across the globe – so what does all this mean for business – and can global mobility leverage its unique skill set to lead the way?

  • What do you need to know to negotiate this volatility and what could be the implications for extended business travel, cross-border and ‘virtual’ working?
  • What do these regulatory and financial changes mean for global business – and can mobility give business a strategic advantage?
  • With changes to H-1B regulations delays, increased denials, and “stuck” cases, what alternative visas/programs can you use?
  • Global disruption is accelerating - are organisations equipped to respond to rapidly shifting immigration, tax, and trade environments?
  • Can global mobility move from reacting to crises to actively shaping business strategy? Which locations are companies prioritizing as alternatives?
  • Are organisations overlooking compliance and financial risks in the race for agility?
  • Are traditional assignment models still fit for purpose, or do new mobility pathways need to take centre stage? What does it truly take to “shock-proof” a mobility program against geopolitical and environmental disruption?
  • Where will the biggest global business challenges - and opportunities - emerge, and how should mobility respond? Global mobility has repeatedly demonstrated its value and agility in times of crisis – so how can GM leaders and teams leverage that expertise and experience to elevate its status?
