Dear fellow AIESECer, My congratulations to you for taking the time to read through this application pack. Once you have concluded sifting through it, no matter the outcome of your decision, you have opened up your mind to the possibility of this opportunity to explore and develop your leadership potential—and that is the true mark of a great AIESECer in the making. To some extent, many of us have ended up becoming AIESECers out of mere curiosity, unaware of the impact we are about to make on ourselves and on others. When I joined AIESEC five years ago, never did I imagine that I would step up to lead a generation of this country to tackle this daunting and worthwhile dream of making the world a better place. I suppose not all great things are planned. What sets this organization in motion is not the plan. It rests on you, the individual, by simply pushing yourself to see how far you can go. We are, after all, in the business of making leadership an infectious value to one’s life – the one constant, fundamental answer to changing the world. Imagine every other person on earth with a drive same as yours. Let that vision be your calling and you will find that nothing is impossible. It is that time of the year again when we are somehow burdened yet fueled by many things; pressured to meet goals, anxious to make decisions about the future. Let this be a guiding principle to you in the coming weeks —a true genius and wise man of many reasons once said: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” –Albert Einstein My response to that is not to fear failure, but the inability to try. You already have the patience, the strength and the passion to achieve your ambitions. Your goals and your dreams have allowed and will allow others to meet theirs. Now all you need to do is try. Good luck!
Yours,
Audrey AIESEC PHILIPPINES | MCEB APPLICATIONS 2013-2014

Specific Questions
MCVP BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 1. In order to be an effective MCVP BD, you must have a deep understanding of all our products and operations to be able to determine what strategic collaborations we should be having with other entities. Give five (5) examples of partnerships that you should focus on initiating on a national level so as to help AIESEC Philippines achieve, or even exceed its goals for your term. Explain particular synergies with other MCVPs or departments as well in developing such partnerships and delivering on them. Ensure you are able to justify why such partnerships are needed. 2. Given the range of products offered in both national and local portfolios, what kinds of partnerships with which kinds of organizations will you develop to encourage diversified accounts (accounts with more than one kind of partnership involvement/contract)? What key value propositions will you offer along with a range of product packages? Also, how would you qualify which partnerships to grow on a local and national level? 3. Historically, while AIESEC Philippines has a strong portfolio when it comes to large-scale events, it has had difficulty in developing a significant number of ‘sales stars’ to meet its financial goals. What could be the cause? Design a sales development plan that will allow you to raise an aggregate of P5,000,000 generated purely from financial sponsorships from both the MC and the LCs. Some areas of consideration include: (1) areas of synergy with TM for human resource development in sales, (2) areas of collaboration with SI for product portfolio development and management, and (3) competitive positioning of our products in terms of value, pricing and packaging. 4. AIESEC Philippines has had prestigious partnerships in previous terms; however, there has been poor CRM because of the lack of their integration and poor transition. Propose specific strategies so as to assure that our partnerships remain to be of quality and long term. 5. What is your role as MCVP BD in building a stronger sales culture in AIESEC Philippines across all departments?

How do you plan to make these initiatives more cohesive and in line with AIESEC’s essence and goals? 4. Given your choice of initiatives, both national and local, how would you strategically place these events within a timeline to support ELD goals and maximize other resources, human and financial?

4.

What important conclusions can you draw from your analysis which will determine your priorities as MCVP IM? From your assessment, determine the ideal state for IM as well using the same framework and name strategies that will help you get from Point A (this term) to Point B (next term). 2. Explain how information management can be a key driver for productivity and success across all departments of AIESEC Philippines. It will help to have a holistic understanding of the IM needs of these departments and how they cooperate with each other which the overall structure requires. 3. As this is the first time that AIESEC Philippines will be having an IM department, name at least three good case practices of IM infrastructure implementation of an enterprise within or outside the AIESEC network that you can apply to our country. Describe the case practice first, determine critical success factors, and contextualize. 4. One of the key objectives of IM is process optimization. If executed well, strategies in IM can lead to a faster and more efficient delivery of our programs thus enabling a higher customer satisfaction rate. Name a program of your choice and describe and analyze the process of service or value transfer to a particular customer. Identify ‘waste’ or cost areas within the process that can be depleted or improved through an IM solution, and provide other recommendations which you deem necessary. 5. Given the technical nature of the function, as MCVP IM, how will you encourage members of the MC and the LCs to maximize IM tools and platforms?
