What will be the unique contribution you could bring to 1415 team in AIESEC New Zealand?

Unique Contribution My unique contribution for next terms is to enhance the leadership in every youth by developing new generation of managers with global mindset because when they are able to experience the world, they can start to understand it, and when they start to understand it, they are able to start changing it.

INSPIRE CONNECT and TRANSFORM

Dare to Dream , Take a Stand and Change the world.

What kind of leadership do you think AIESEC New Zealand requires moving forward? How have you demonstrated these qualities in your AIESEC or other experiences?

AIESEC in NZ requires someone, who makes people feels ownership towards the organization, also enhances leadership by leading an example and one who can Inspires people by their story. As well as making people realized that AIESEC is not a rocket science and does not requires jazzy strategies to sort out problems, if things are done with passion and dedication.

Example: Starting my LCP term with 15 members including EB and Ending term with 90 Members, also creating right leadership pipeline as well as changing the state of LC from Member on Alert to Member on probation was possible when I made my members feels ownership towards the organization and making them understand things by leading example by this way they realized anything is possible if you have passion and dedication within you to make things done.

Market Identify 3 key trends from any or all of the sectors listed below and Explain how AIESEC can best capitalise on them Business and Economy International Trade: New Zealand economy is dependent on agriculture, natural resources, manufacturing product and Tourism. Majority of import and export happens with country like china, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Australia US, UK and Germany. With the help of AIESEC we can capitalize on providing native speakers for better business expansion with this and other countries.

SME and Start ups: New Zealand has high number of Starts up and SME because of government liberal policy for SME and Start up. Through AIESEC we can capitalized on this SME and Start up because AIESEC provides cost effective and high quality diverse intern which can be better solution to this SME and starts ups.

Tourism: New Zealand is Beautiful country and has good tourism market which is another major important source of economy in NZ. AIESEC can partner with Government and can promote more tourism through iGCDP interns.

Student and Youth Unemployment ratio: Due to globalization there has been drastically increase in university which provides opportunities for youth to learn and become expertise into respective field, Supply of fresh graduate are high but demand of getting placed into company is low. With the help of oGIP in AIESEC we can help them to be experienced professional expert with global mindset, which will make them unique from others.

Rise of Social media: Social media has massively grown in past few year and it most favourite amongst the youth, with the help of social media we can do brand positioning of AIESEC and that will help to built more opportunities for youth.

Youth’s Interest in Developing country: The students in the present scenario are interested to develop skills using various avenues apart from education. This out-going and open-minded nature amongst the students’ network can be well utilized for the growth of the organization and the society. By showing the value of the AIESEC program through EWA phase we can increase the TMP/TLP Programs.

Dare to Dream , Take a Stand and Change the world.

University Growth in Educational Sectors: As more private colleges come up in New Zealand, providing their students with the competitive edge through internships is a wonderful option for AIESEC to tie up and generate OGX. Top Universities: New Zealand is the country which top universities in world and many youth travels to New Zealand for further studies, these skilled students are more likely to take up internship opportunities to enhance their CV and experiences.

Volunteering: New Zealand is the country which has adapted volunteering experience or you can say not formal education which adds values to their experiences and university highly promote this kind of extracurricular activities. AIESEC has good scope to engage youth and show and develop real essence of AIESEC which is leadership

How can AIESEC be more relevant in New Zealand?

AIESEC in New Zealand can be more relevant in the society.

1) Expanding organization outreach which means AIESEC in NZ should collaborate across the cross sector, So that it can Inspires stakeholder to take up more opportunities with AIESEC. This way OGX and ICX will grow and more different stakeholder can experience new opportunities with AIESEC. 2) Delivering quality experience to experience to our stakeholder and we have to be customer centric organization.

3)

Growing our scale of operation and delivering events in partnership with other stakeholders.

4) Delivering Leadership experience in every program for our members in AIESEC. This way when they experience the world, they can start to understand it, and when they start to understand it, they are able to start changing it.

Organization

Evaluate AIESEC New Zealand’s performance over the last 3 years and explain which key trends should we look into better capitalise on?

Looking down to performance of past 3 year, I can clearly says that AIESEC NZ has major focus area on oGCDP but the program could not grew in 2013 because of Lack of partnership, talent capacity, Lack of operational knowledge and some quality issue. iGCDP growth has been drastically dip down and most obvious reason can be financial crunches, Lack of knowledge. iGIP: Statistic clearly shows that iGIP hasn’t been focus area at any point of time because of membership issue, operational training and most of the LC are university base LC. oGIP has shown growth in 2011 and 2012 but 2013 for oGIP was not good year because lack of focus, poor matching rate and not able to reach out right targeted market.

2011.2012.2013 AIESEC NZ Key Trends to focus on Building Finances and Talent Capacity: For any organization or

any

company

the

basic

formula

to

keep

their

organization in a working condition is to have right kind of people and to have finances on place, these two things are left and right hand of any organization. AIESEC in New Zealand entities are currently not financially stable and this has to be priority, Entity can be financially stable only if they

start

increasing

organizational

outreach

by

collaboration and growing scale of operation. Secondly Recruiting right kind of talent and creating right platform for members will make them to connect with organization very strongly and can they can experience leadership development in their journey, as well as it will make our members feel ownership for their Organization.

Scale up out growing program: 2013 was almost a stable year for OGP, 2014-15 We need to increase our scale of operation in oGCDP by tapping into different faculties within the campus through establishing Special units, Capitalizing on off peak cycle and building more country partnership as well as doing reverse raising can be better solution. For oGIP we need to package our sub product differently and creating special team according to sub product who are expert in selling and delivering because oGIP is the program for professional experts. Secondly building cross country partnership.

Growing ICX: AIESEC in NZ has good scope for ICX with the help of proper training, Education and providing right kind of resources from the side of MC, AIESEC in NZ can grow in ICX.

Dare to Dream , Take a Stand and Change the world.

Analyse AIESEC NZ’s LC Development strategy (LC Linking/Coaching). What would you do to improve it?

AIESEC in NZ LC development strategies has drastically improved in 2013/14 and it’s moving into right direction. It has broken up communication barrier with the entity by LC Coaching method, which has help LC to be nationally aligned and receiving right frequency of resources and knowledge.

Below are the things to be done, In order to improve: 1) Starting up with National support team.

2) Using of Technology creating education hub and operational training session for all LC according to its reality.

3) Virtual Training/ Coaching Session by MC to all LC. 4) Commission summit in the MC office once in 6 month.

In your opinion, what is the role of the MC?

Role of MC: 1. LEAD the team 2. Drives down purpose 3. Aligned others towards purpose.

4. Act as serving body for complete AIESEC Chapter, as well as coach and Train LCs to amplify the growth.

5. Good Strategic head that can innovate and built upon strategies in order to achieve Vision and Mission.

Role of MC towards 2015 is to channelize the Strategies in order to increase the number of Experiences and Role of LC is to aggressively amplify the growth by being nationally aligned and increase the experiences in terms of RESULT.

oGCDP

Dare to Dream , Take a Stand and Change the world.

oGCDP: I feel that AIESEC in NZ oGCDP is currently into Growth stage, Even though growth of 2013 was stable that doesn’t mean that oGCDP is at mature state because almost all LCs are University base LC but not a single LC has cross 100+ experiences in past 3 year. This means that Every LCs has a good scope within the market and need to capitalize on growing scale of operation and tapping different market within the Campus. oGIP: AIESEC in NZ oGIP has moved from development state to introduction state where we are ready with our simple structured process and we have packaged our sub-products which are now available to external world. Also MC has started educating member for oGIP.

How do you intend to utilise the resources from the 1314 term and build on current OGX strategies?

2013/2014 for AIESEC in NZ was about creating right base in oGCDP and oGIP. 2014/15 AIESEC in NZ is all about to built and solidify upon it which will result to immense growth in OGX. The resources of 2013-14 will be channelized and amplified into OGX for faster growth towards the program. Various resources need to be studied and understood well, Optimization of resources needs to be done according to every LC reality and according to common needs of all LC by implementation of several simple and innovate strategies by utilizing current resources. Hence it would lead to faster growth in OGX.

Thank you
