This self-discovery is essential for building the confidence needed to take on leadership roles and make a meaningful impact in your Global Mobility function.
Next, we turn your focus to making an organizational impact. To drive real success, it’s crucial to link your personal strengths with your organization’s goals. This workshop equips you with practical tools to align your role with the strategic needs of your organization.

This strategic implementation ensures that your personal development and organizational goals align in a meaningful way. You’ll walk away with a clear roadmap, ready to implement changes that will drive measurable results, both for yourself and your company.

Some backround on the WAVE Framework
The MasteringGM® WAVE Framework is a research-driven tool developed to help Global Mobility professionals better understand and enhance their strategic impact within their organizations. WAVE stands for Workforce, Adaptability, Value, and Engagement—four critical dimensions that shape effective Global Mobility leadership.
Each WAVE dimension highlights a specific aspect of GM effectiveness:
• Workforce focuses on understanding and developing people across global assignments and the mobility function.
• Adaptability looks at the ability to respond to change your internal processes based on pressures and needs from the external environment.
• Value assesses how you demonstrate and communicate the value of GM initiatives to stakeholders outside GM.
• Engagement examines how well you align stakeholders’ needs and expectations with your GM strategy.
The WAVE Trait Navigator is an individualized self-assessment that provides personalized insights into your strengths and areas for improvement across these dimensions. It provides you with your individual GM type. By understanding your unique GM type, you can make more informed decisions, enhance team performance, and better align your strategy with organizational goals.
