In early 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic was taking hold around the world, the GME team conducted a survey to understand the extent to which technology is currently being used by the Global Mobility function, the value of that technology, the areas where it has most impact and the extent to which it is connected with other internal and external systems.

The results suggest that Global Mobility (GM) is still relatively new to the digital journey. While large programs have embraced technology as an enabler, many organizations are yet to introduce technology tools to optimize performance of the GM function. Regardless of size, advanced technology solutions like Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality are not widely used.  GM functions need to better articulate to the business how these solutions could be utilized and benefit mobility operations.

In our report, we explore how GM functions are transforming through the use of technology to meet modern business needs, support employees more effectively and ensure compliance. We look at technology platforms, automation and process efficiencies, integration with other systems, and new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality. We leverage the results of our survey to reveal how organizations are progressing on their digital journeys, provide you with insights into the latest trends in GM technology and give you the opportunity to see how your organization compares.
