Problem Statement Summary

this company is a non-profit member association that started with a simple idea in 2003: convene a forum of humanitarian and commercial organisations to develop standards of practice for fleet management operations in developing countries. Several years later, we have expanded the way we provide support, from facilitating in-country trainings to consulting on the fleet management strategy of organisations. In essence, we want all organisations to manage their fleet in a way that saves lives, keep costs low and has minimal impact on the environment.

Although we are good in day-to-day communication with our humanitarian members and stakeholders, strategic communication is lacking. We are active on social media but we should focus more to achieve more.

We realise that in this day and age people are overwhelmed by information through many different communication channels. We also appreciate that our members want to communicate with us in different ways.

As we are a growing organisation our communications database has grown organically. We use a CRM system and we have a lot of separate contact files and knowledge about our members in our heads.

In our strategy 2023 – 2028, entitled ‘Sustainable Transport for a Better World’ we have identified strategic communication as one of the enablers to realise our growth ambition and we have commissioned a specialist to help us develop our strategic communications approach. Once the approach is finalised, we need to action it. And that is where you come in.
