Are Dynamic Policies the Future?

Testimonials
The Expat Academy membership is truly valuable. It gives a great opportunity to keep learning, staying connected with peers and listening to insights as well as trends.
Alexandra Oeda
An excellent opportunity to meet peers and keep up to date on topical issues relevant to the industry. The huddles are really informal and you are made to feel comfortable to add to the discussions and be involved.
Mel O'Hara
Club 100 sessions are always really useful. It’s an invaluable opportunity to connect with peers and sense-check ideas. ‘Hot potatoes’ are fab too and a useful opportunity to discuss those current challenges and real-time problem solve. Most of all just an opportunity to network (and a day away from the desk!) is great
Helen Harfield
I thoroughly enjoyed the huddle in London, I learnt so much and made some great notes. I’m relatively new to GM and I came away from the huddle feeling inspired and confident that I’m on the right track.
