13. Reason 1
To decide whether or not
to send.
How much is having this
bridge and culture champion
worth to the company? $1 mil?
Is it still worth it at $3 mil?
14. Reason 2
To identify whom to send,
where, and for how long.
It may make more sense to
send an up-and-coming
director rather than a senior
executive.
15. Reason 3
To demonstrate the
concrete business value of
global mobility programs
and policies.
16. Reason 4
To develop
appropriate pricing.
Estimate too low, and
unforeseen expenses will eat
into your margins; too high and
you could lose out to
regional competitors.
17. Reason 5
To enable cost awareness
and control.
Without any oversight in
place, the company could end
up stuck with expensive
mistakes, like unexpectedly
increasing housing and
transportation costs.
18. With all this in mind,
the team asks
Jennifer to provide
them with
projections at the
next team meeting.
19. After running the numbers, Jennifer finds it
makes good sense to send Chris on assignment.
20. And thanks to her due
diligence, Jennifer has
reinforced trust in the
global mobility team, and
shown the business value
of mobility assignments.
