Would You Rather Embrace Fleet Change or a Prickly Cactus?
2020 has served up plenty of life lesson reminders.
One of these concepts is especially relevant: change waits for no one. Change doesn’t care if you don’t want it, and ready or not, change happens.
All of our lives we’ve been encouraged to embrace change. But whether we're talking about our personal lives or fleet responsibilities, change can feel uncomfortable and difficult to wrap our arms around.
But there's an upside: while change feels risky, there's the potential rewards that are worth exploring.
Obviously cacti are known for their ability to hold water. But did you know their water-storing abilities are completely adaptive? Just like a cactus that evolves in order to survive, your fleet strategy must be flexible in order to continue moving down the road to success. Change may feel prickly, but the alternative is literally getting stuck behind your competitors as you maintain the status quo.
Risks and Rewards
While the pandemic has undoubtedly heightened our awareness toward taking risks, in the vehicle fleet business we know risk is inevitable. So, we look for ways to mitigate our exposure.
In Reducing Risk. Getting Customers Paid Fast! Bill Bishop, VP at FLD, warns, “In fleet, perhaps no function is riskier than vehicle remarketing, a service with many moving parts."
e-Driving’s Jim Noble reminds us of The Importance of ‘The Big Picture’ for Fleet Managers. He asks: “How do you effectively use aggregated driver risk insights to reduce your exposure to crashes/incidents/injuries and possible business-ending events?”
Mark Boada has years of experience writing about fleet safety, and I was excited when he told me he wanted to write this article: Want a Gold-Plated Fleet Safety Program? Try These 25 Components. Mark says, "Put all of them in place and, after a couple of years, if not sooner, your accident rate is bound to rival the very best in the entire fleet industry."
We never get closer to what it means to be an American than on voting day. Few people tell the American story better than Ray Charles.
