3 Original Plan for a Global Driver Safety Programme All affiliate companies would be instructed to implement the programme An identical programme worldwide In English To be launched worldwide in 6 months Data collection would start immediately It was so simple, what could possibly go wrong?

4 Issue 1 – the Affiliates – Where and Who? The responsible Department was Environment, Health and Safety Very limited previous contacts with Affiliate Sales Forces Upto 4 separate affiliates in each country and 50+ countries worldwide! Needed to make contact and fast! Not always the Fleet Manager – HR – Admin – Finance – Sales – all with full time jobs Get basic data – numbers and locations of drivers and cars
5
5 Issue 2 – the Champions! Needed to have Senior Management Champions with high standing and a wide remit to lead the Programme Work through them to identify local country contacts Sponsor of the Programme worked with Champions to appoint all Country / General Managers as local Champions Country / General Managers appointed the Implementation Team Leaders

7 Issue 4 – An Adaptable Programme How many truly Global Programmes are there? Need a Programme that is adaptable and flexible, with good support and good recommendations from other users Need to select it very carefully Need to work with the supplier to understand the issues and make the adaptations necessary – whilst still maintaining consistency and standards

8 Issue 5 – An Adaptable Programme Multi language capability is absolutely essential To gain high user acceptance and to allow high level of understanding Accurate translations Translations with the correct meaning Translations with the correct terminology To allow a choice for expats and staff transfers Need a Global Programme that appears to be Local – remember we want it to be a “culture” – not just a Corporate Programme
