Fleet Becomes an Epicenter for Interdepartmental Encroachment

By Mike Antich
Interdepartmental conflicts are common in the medical and IT industries, and at most companies between sales and operations. However, for many years, fleet existed as a realm of its own. Management in other departments often didn’t fully understand the nuances of fleet management other than they got a new vehicle every 36 months. Fleet managers of that era (not that long ago) were the “kings” and “queens” of their own realms. However, that reality is rapidly changing.

In the future, you will need a strategic focus to succeed in fleet management; otherwise you run the risk of fading into irrelevancy.
