Agenda
Day 1
Welcome and Introduction
14:00 - 14:05
Enjoy a warm welcome from the Expat Academy team. We will run you through the agenda and set the scene for the session.
Huddle Discussion - Is there a seat?
14:05 - 14:55
Forget the tired old debate about earning a 'Seat at the Table'. Let's be honest, that seat often doesn't exist, and chasing it is a waste of time.
In this discursive session, we're cutting through the noise to focus on what genuinely matters: developing untouchable strategic influence for Global Mobility within your organisation.
We'll discuss the practical steps you need to take:
-
Stakeholder Engagement that commands attention
-
The Power of Pragmatic Data
-
Meeting the Business Where It Is
This is about building influence, not asking for permission.
Corporate Insight
14:55 - 15:10
A member of our corporate community will give us a focused update on their Global Mobility function and what's working for them. This is a crucial session to hear first-hand what's working, what isn't, and to realise that the challenges we face are shared. You're not alone.
Break
15:10 - 15:20
Short break to grab a coffee / refreshments
Corporate Insight
15:20 - 15:35
We've got another member of our APAC Network who will give us a focused update on their Global Mobility function and what's working for them.
Huddle Discussion - The value of AI in Mobility
15:35 - 16:20
We know specific AI GM tools are emerging, and we know the genuine challenges of using sensitive employee data with open platforms like ChatGPT or Gemini.
But the reality is: AI can give you back the time you never seem to have.
This session is your hands-on, pragmatic guide to leveraging AI now. We're bypassing the distant 'dream scenarios' and focusing purely on the practical application that takes work off your plate:
- Practical Tools: Automating the Daily Grind
- Data Command: Using AI for Actionable Metrics
- Prompt Engineering: Mastering the Art of Asking
Think of this as your immediate plan for greater efficiency, delivered without the tech jargon.
Wrap up and finish
16:20 - 16:30
The Expat Academy team will wrap up the huddle with a fabulous overview of what we have discussed and share some insights and updates from the team
