Global mobility has always played an important role in helping organizations deploy talent where it’s needed most. But today, expectations are changing. Mobility programs are no longer evaluated solely on whether assignments run smoothly or costs stay within budget. Increasingly, they are being asked to contribute to broader talent outcomes, deliver a strong employee experience, and demonstrate strategic value to the business.
At AIRINC, we see this shift happening across organizations of all sizes and industries. In response, we developed THRIVE—a framework designed to help mobility teams move from simply functioning to truly flourishing. And now, we’re bringing that framework to life through the THRIVE Webinar Series. And we have a stellar cast for you!
THRIVE reflects the realities facing global mobility leaders today. The work is more complex. Stakeholders are more diverse. And the impact of mobility decisions extends far beyond the assignment itself.
Each letter in THRIVE represents a critical dimension of a modern mobility program:
Individually, these themes are important. Together, they provide a practical way to assess where your program is today—and where it has the potential to go.
The THRIVE Webinar Series is designed to be practical, candid, and grounded in reality. Each session focuses on one pillar of the framework and features a corporate mobility leader who has addressed that challenge firsthand.
Rather than theoretical models, these conversations center on real decisions, real trade-offs, and real outcomes. Our industry leading guest speakers will share how they’ve approached these themes within their own organizations: what worked, what didn’t, and what they would do differently.
For mobility leaders navigating similar questions, the goal is simple: provide insight you can take back to your own program.
We’ll begin the series with T: Talent Integration, featuring Barb Colvin, Director of Global Mobility at Daiichi Sankyo.
In this session, Barb will discuss how she has deliberately positioned global mobility as a core component of the talent agenda—supporting workforce planning, development, and long-term talent outcomes. Her perspective highlights what’s possible when mobility is viewed not as a service function, but as a strategic enabler.

What truly distinguishes the THRIVE Webinar Series is the quality of the voices involved. These are not external commentators or abstract theorists—they are senior global mobility leaders, working inside complex organisations and making decisions that have real consequences for their businesses and their people.
Their perspectives are thoughtful, practical, and grounded in experience. They understand the constraints mobility teams face, and they know what it takes to move programs forward. Hearing directly from peers of this calibre—openly and candidly—is not something that happens often.
If you have responsibility for the direction of your mobility programme, do not miss this series. It offers a valuable opportunity to listen and reflect alongside others who are shaping where the function goes next.
