Taking time out of a busy schedule is so important and the Workshop was the right place to set personal goals for this year.

A few words from co-organizer Stefan Remhof
GM: From Cost Center to Strategic Value Driver
Global Mobility plays a critical role in driving organizational success, yet its value is often overlooked or underestimated. Demonstrating the strategic importance of Global Mobility is not just about highlighting its operational efficiency. In fact, connecting its impact to broader business objectives is a key issue you should not forget about.
One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by adopting a “business case” mindset. A well-crafted business case goes beyond numbers – it tells a story. An evidence-based story. It shows how Global Mobility aligns with company goals, mitigates risks, and delivers measurable value to the organization.
By framing your efforts in terms that resonate with decision-makers, you can move the conversation from cost to contribution, positioning Global Mobility as a proactive, strategic partner.

A few words from co-organizer Benjamin Bader
Demonstrating Value in GM using the WAVE Framework
Global Mobility clearly has the potential to be a powerful strategic enabler. Yet, its value is not always immediately visible to stakeholders. To truly showcase the impact of Global Mobility, it is essential to ground your approach in a framework that connects its purpose to measurable outcomes. This is where the MasteringGM® WAVE framework – Workforce, Adaptability, Value, and Engagement – becomes invaluable.
The Value dimension within the WAVE framework emphasizes the importance of demonstrating tangible results and aligning mobility initiatives with broader business objectives. Value is not just about financial ROI though, it includes the external impact of Global Mobility on organizational goals and the effectiveness of processes that drive outcomes. Clearly articulating this value to stakeholders transforms how Global Mobility is perceived, shifting it from a support function to a strategic driver.
This workshop builds directly on the WAVE framework by equipping participants with the tools to identify and communicate the value of their mobility programs. Through actionable insights, hands-on exercises, and real-world examples, participants will develop the skills to create compelling business cases and articulate Global Mobility’s contribution to business success.
By leveraging WAVE, you can ensure that Global Mobility is recognized as a critical enabler of growth, innovation, and organizational impact. This workshop will empower you to lead that narrative with confidence.
