Today’s new reality is the difficult task of Fleet
managers is becoming more and more complex. Now in its
10th year, The 100 Best Fleets in North America tradition of bringing together fleet leaders from around the country who want to
hear from peers and experts in their field. These
roundtable discussions allow for formal presentations
and informal networking opportunities throughout the
day. Attendees are able to share their current common
challenges and most importantly, hear solutions from
peers in similar situations. Some of the solutions are
ones other organizations like the cities of
Orlando
and Sacramento
have paid over $50,000 for from consultants.
Fleet managers get things done efficiently and
effectively and these programs are all results oriented
for immediate implementation. There is plenty of time
for questions and answers and discussion of best
business practices, share ideas, learn from each other
and explore practical solutions to real-world problems
and concerns.
The most exciting aspects are the programs are designed
by and for fleet professionals. There is no part of the
day that doesn’t directly relate to day-to-day realities
of the workplace. Leaders who attend are sure to walk
away with plenty of fresh new ideas and renewed
enthusiasm for how best to run their fleet operations.
John Hunt, 2005 Government Fleet manager of the Year
from the City of Portland, Oregon said “there is no
better use of your time than brainstorming with your
peers for better ways to become efficient”
Our recommendation is to change before you have to,
measure how your operation performs and compares to
best-in-class-fleet-departments. It really comes down to
how ambitious you are for continuous improvement. Many
fleet managers walk into the seminars reluctantly and
walk out inspired. What used to work doesn’t always work
anymore there is always a constant demand to be fresh
and innovative. |
