“No transformation of such

updated plan of where to from here with regard
to a fleet strategy. Most have a fair idea of
where to, but very few can articulate this ‘plan’
with confidence.
Having had some three decades in or across
fleet management activity I am encouraged
by the number of Fleet and Procurement
Managers who have recognized that the way
forward (one of least resistance and one that
has the potential to better navigate roadblocks)
is to share knowledge, findings and views.
Unfortunately, most ‘sharing’ activity seems to
be occurring in small clusters – that is, in my
observations, no national discussions (meaning
sharing of key knowledge is limited).
As noted in my profile I want to be able to help
others by sharing my knowledge and where
FLEETDRIVE
possible facilitate discussion. That has some
limitations; as an individual I do not have the
resources or infrastructure to do this on a large
scale. Having worked alongside the Australasian
Fleet Management Association (AfMA) for near
on a decade I find myself continually directing
Fleet and Procurement Managers to the
Association for advice and guidance. From my
perspective, AfMA is a great vehicle to facilitate
discussion, collectively advance knowledge and
provide guidance. This is why I have chosen, in
a voluntary capacity, to continue to support the
drive of more fleet discussions via the forums
offered by AfMA.
Let’s get the Fleet Management discussion in
NZ moving ahead. Feel free to contact me if
you would like to know more about AfMA.
