Driving Forward:
Transforming a Fleet Program

Wed, May 13, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM MST | Live Online | 2 CPD Points

What Sets This Session Apart

Managing 1,500+ Vehicles Across a Growing Enterprise How do you formalize a fleet program that scaled over 50% through multiple acquisitions in five years—while managing supply constraints, aging assets, legacy policy, rising costs, and competing stakeholder demands?

Using 24 Million KM of Data to Drive Smarter Decisions Telematics and work-kilometer data by role determined who truly needs a vehicle—and what type. Total cost modelling then drove optimized replacement timing across the entire fleet.

Building the Right Governance to Lead Change Cross-functional team design, project governance, and disciplined change management are non-negotiable. Underestimate the people side and the transformation stalls.

Webinar Overview

Light-duty fleets are no longer “just vehicles”—they are a strategic enterprise asset that requires disciplined governance, data-driven decision-making, and strong change leadership to manage effectively.

In this session, you will explore how a rigorous fleet transformation strategy—grounded in operational and telematics data—drives measurable improvements in cost, safety, utilization, and standardization across a complex, multi-entity organization.

What You Will Discover

Building a Cross-Functional Team for Transformation Success A proven governance framework for assembling the right people, defining accountability, and creating the organizational conditions needed to lead a large-scale fleet initiative.

Positioning Data as a Driver of Change How to leverage fleet and telematics data—alongside external benchmarks—to build a compelling business case, inform vehicle allocation, and support defensible replacement planning.

Managing Change Management Impact on Employees Ensuring consistent messaging and shared leadership accountability at all levels—while remaining empathetic to employees directly affected by fleet policy changes.

KPIs That Actually Measure Fleet Performance Practical success metrics connecting cost management, safety, compliance, service levels, and supplier performance in a single coherent measurement framework.

Lessons Learned and a Continuous Improvement Mindset How to apply short improvement cycles that refine policies, matrices, and processes based on real stakeholder feedback—shifting from a sprint mentality to a sustained transformation journey.
