Andrew starts his preparation, supported by AIESEC, for the upcoming experience.
Andrew has no clue about AIESEC and its value proposition.
Andrew fills the profile and starts browsing opportunities
Andrew is aware of the organization’s value proposition and signs up to the OP through our Website
Andrew found his internship, had his first contact with AIESEC members, clear expectations and is matched to the opportunity.
Andrew completed his experience and went through a leadership development journey
This phase aims to be as automated as possible through the evolution of our systems (EXPA and Opportunities portal), so that our HR can focus on the next stage.
Here is where the “AIESEC Magic happens” and the true leadership development becomes reality through Inner and Outer Journey. Our customers’ growth in terms of LDM happens here.
Here, AIESEC leverages on its physical and virtual reach to engage future customers with its essence and raise curiosity and interest.

How to evolve and focus our PR accordingly? How can YouthSpeak – data, reports and forums – help in this sense? Are there any other key universities or networks we need to expand to. to get the right relevance? How digital-savvy is our market? And how will it be in 3-4 years? How clear and aligned are our physical and virtual messages? When are we implementing the Global Web Templates? How easy it is for customers to reach internship.aiesec.org and what can we do to make their experience better?

How many open leads do we have right now on our systems and how did we get them? What are our current conversion rates and what is affecting them? How should we evolve our processes to support customers through the consideration phase? How could the Company OP help us to reach our target market? How can we spread a strong culture of Opportunity Marketing in our network, to make sure that Opportunities are clear and attractive to our people in Consideration Phase? What are the key partner entities you want to promote in a stronger way and how are you planning to do that with the new available technologies?
AIESEC is not AIESEC if all ELD participants are not provided with Inner and Outer Journey. • How clear are we and our network on the meaning of every single element of Inner and Outer Journey? • Team Minimums and Exchange Standards are the checklist to ensure the Journey is enabled. How can we quickly reach 100% implementation of both in our network and with our partner entities? AIESEC is not AIESEC if all ELD participants do not go through LEAD. • How to make sure this happens? • How to adapt the LEAD Guidelines to the needs of my Entity? • How to implement a proper delivery model for national and global partners, so that LEAD is always happening and is delivered by the Local Level? AIESEC will start being clear on its direct impact as soon as LDM Assessment will be implemented. • How clear isour network on the overall Leadership Development Model? • How are we going to use our touchpoints to implement LDM assessment? • How can we use the LDM Assessment information to evolve our programmes?

Are we able to map our Alumni Network and understand how to work together to drive more ELD? How do we keep our returnees engaged with the organization? How clear are our Partners and TN Takers on our key value proposition and how are we keeping them connected with the organization through time? Every year we engage lots of people through our projects and activities (from info events to GCDPs, from YouthSpeak Forums to Hosting Families, from parents to professors). How can we leverage on these communities to generate more impact, awareness – and business opportunities for AIESEC?
Talk with your stakeholders! Engage your team in research processes based on their roles and passions, and let them spend time in conversation around the key questions you have.
Check how your customers and your network behave. Use data, reports, on-field observation. LC Visits and visits to Partners and TN takers can really help to understand how things happen on the ground.
Engage your team in deep brainstorming conversations around the key questions you identified. Change settings of the office and brainstorm methodologies, use different facilitators – or ask for support of some external facilitators to get read of your ‘omniscient-MCP role’ and bring your contribution as well!
There is no better time than transition to test your ideas and validate them. You have twice the amount of people, twice the amount of ideas and a lot of energy in the room. Before trashing an idea of a product concept, try it out with some focus groups or some pilots: you may have AIESEC’s next big thing in your office!
