How Global Mobility expertise can enhance your client experience.

Today’s businesses aren’t just scaling - they’re scaling internationally. And with that comes a host of cross-border challenges that go far beyond strategy decks and PowerPoint slides.

Management consultancy firms are often at the heart of these transformations: advising clients on global expansion, talent strategy, operational redesign, or post-merger integration. But too often, something crucial is missing from the room:

Deep Global Mobility (GM) subject matter expertise.

Why Global Mobility Matters in Consulting Engagements

Global Mobility isn’t just about moving people - it’s about making international business viable. It spans immigration, tax, employment compliance, relocation, and more. And it’s a fundamental enabler of nearly every cross-border initiative a consultancy might advise on.

When overlooked or under-resourced, Global Mobility can quietly derail even the best strategy. Delayed launches, misclassified employees, immigration missteps, or unbudgeted tax exposure can cause serious friction for clients - and reputational risk for consultants.

Where Realm Adds Value

Realm partners with ambitious businesses and their advisors to bridge the gap between strategy and global implementation. We provide hands-on expertise and practical delivery support across:

• Global Expansion Planning: Country-by-country feasibility, regulatory analysis, and local setup pathways.

• EOR (Employer of Record) Strategy: Advisory on when and where to use EORs, and coordination of compliant employment structures.

• Relocation & Talent Mobility: Visa processing, destination services, cost modelling, and end-to-end move support.

• Compliance & Risk Management: Cross-border employment, tax, and legal exposure mapping.

• Project Execution: Coordinated delivery across multiple functions to reduce time-to-value.

For consultancies advising clients without an in-house GM team - or without the resources to deliver globally - Realm becomes an extension of your project team, giving you the depth to confidently tackle complex, international challenges.

The Real Impact of GM Expertise in Consulting Work

1. Grounded Global Talent Strategy

Consultancies advise on workforce design, but practical constraints - like visa lead times or EOR availability - can make or break execution. Realm brings the reality check before the strategy hits the ground.

2. De-risked International Expansion

We help flag and mitigate compliance risks early, from permanent establishment to employee misclassification - saving clients (and consultancies) from expensive surprises.

3. Speed and Delivery Confidence

With practical implementation support baked in, clients gain clarity, consultants gain credibility, and global delivery gets done faster and cleaner.

4. True Partnership for the Long Haul

Realm doesn’t just provide advice - we roll up our sleeves. For consultancies that value trusted, senior-level partners who can deliver under pressure, we offer the right mix of specialist knowledge, operational capability, and white-label discretion.

A Practical Partner for Management Consultancies

Not every client has an internal Global Mobility function. Many lack the headcount, experience, or bandwidth to manage complex international moves or employment challenges. That’s where Realm steps in - as your behind-the-scenes partner or client-facing delivery ally, depending on what’s needed.

We work with consultancy teams as a trusted GM resource - plugging into strategy projects, international workstreams, or global HR initiatives to help ensure ideas are both viable and executable.

Whether it’s a five-country expansion, relocating executive leadership, or navigating multi-region employment via EOR, we’re here to make your consultancy’s recommendations a reality.

Conclusion: GM Expertise Is No Longer Optional

If your consulting practice touches international business, then Global Mobility isn’t a ‘nice to have’—it’s a critical enabler of delivery. Clients expect smart, risk-aware strategies they can actually act on. Realm helps make that happen.

By embedding deep Global Mobility and practical delivery into your engagements, your firm becomes more than just an advisor - you become a true partner in your clients’ global success.
