1. Executive Summary

- Intro: The past quarter was an intensive period for the plan execution of the AIESEC International Team after we created, communicated, validated and further improved the st plan in the 1 quarter. Here are the highlights of the Plan Execution: - Shared Values (our “why”): An 8-step-organization-value-clarification document was jointly created by the AI team as an explanation of the connection between the AIESEC Way, AIESEC 2015 and the BHAG (presented in the previous quarter report). Throughout the past quarter, the document content was firstly incorporated by and aligned with the World Economic Forum’s Global Council Output on New Models of Leadership to ensure the theoretical advancement of our leadership development basis, and then it was further improved with the Global Steering Team’s feedback. The conversation around the “Why” has been physically communicated in all regions of the network by the AI team’s presence in 23 strategic meetings and regional/sub-regional conferences and 32 entity coaching visits. It has also been carried out by 2 major internal communication campaigns to all levels of the organization in order to fully engage the purpose of the organization while facilitating the progress towards the organizational goal achievement. The reaction and validation from the network has proved to be very positive and encouraging. - Production Capacity: GIP Sub-Product Development Strategy

Talent Capacity Alignment: Sales Development Program to enable more & better sellers

Global ER principle revision for win-win global GIP sales

Organiztional Models for Growth through expansions and specialized units

IT System Improveme nt and inventon

Process optimization to offer faster and much more experiences

We have executed various key strategies for the Global Internship Program. We have fully implemented a global subproduct based GIP strategy to enable more effective supply and demand alignment with 2 particular focuses on IT and Teaching, and our Global GIP Matching Rate therefore increased from 45% in Q4 2011 to 55% in Q4 2012. With the launch of the Global Talent Capacity Strategic Meeting output, we have identified the clarity and full alignment between our exchange product strategies and our talent strategy (a.k.a TMP/TLP experience we offer). Our quarter GIP TN raise goal was not achieved due to the lack of quality in the sales activities, therefore, the global Sales Development Program was created to attract and develop sellers (members) and drive a strong sales culture across all levels of the organization. We have revised and tested new Global ER Principles to better capitalize on the MNC market for GIP growth and to align and validate products and pricing for global partners across markets for better delivery and faster growth through internal sales. On the market side, we have been working with piloting entities to speed up our market expansion through a flexible specialized (business) units framework hypothesis. The global information system’s (MyAIESEC.net) analysis modules have been further developed with 6 new menus and we are in the testing phase of an in-house development project for a new Exchange Management module (which includes an API) to maximize our delivery efficiency. We have started a global innovation project of process optimization aiming to reach: 100% realisation rate, 15 days GCDP matching, 30 days GIP matching, and 30 days as an average realisation time. Since October we have finalized our research and planning phase and started the testing phase with internal and external stakeholders. - Quality Experience: EP preparation to enhence the quality of the GCDP product

Talent Capacity Alignment: Project/JD based recruitment

Deliver better experiences through integrated Experiences#

Customer feedback system to measure our success and create organizational behaviors

Customer-Centered Organization

We have identified the importance of having more promoters who lived a qualitative AIESEC experience in order to grow the impact of our programmes, especially in the delivery of the Global Community Development Program. An EP preparation framework has been created to ensure that, throughout the customer’s journey, AIESEC is improving and executing the key processes that define the satisfaction of the participants based on the customer feedback data and the inputs that have been collected from the testing entities.


We have also made changes in our Talent Strategy to align the needs of an EP preparation enhancement: a project/JDbased recruitment has been implemented with a Team Leader to facilitate the project’s delivery. We have started the implementation phase of our global NPS system in which 40% of the network is participating. While generating practical insights of our operations, strategically, we are in the final stage of our research in order to set a Global Measure of Success for the quality of the experience we provide and therefore ensure that AIESEC is becoming a more Customer-Centered Organization. - Strategy Amplifiers: Branding & Marketing: Brand Evolution for better positioning

Connecting Market Brand Strategy with the "why" and the product strategy with a planning and management framework

Massive Online Presense and Enagegement

Organizational Reputation Building

We are currently at the final stage of the brand redesign process together with DesignThinkers Group and regional focus groups to fully align our external image with how we present ourselves online, in print, and in person through our brand. The refreshed visual elements are ready to be launched with its usage. Meanwhile, during the past quarter we piloted, researched and concluded a clear brand planning and management framework to practically align the network’s brand strategies with the “why” and our product strategies. At the same time, a “Drive-Move-Convert” online engagement strategy has been fully implemented on the global level with 3 key projects: Cultureshock.me, YouthSpeak, and Social Media Marketing Campaign. We tested this through a globally-run online campaign, “International Tech Talent Program”, which attracted 3,200 technical students to join our Global Internship Program for JDs related to IT and Engineering as one of the perfect examples that converts attraction from online audience. We currently have 320,000 fans on our global Facebook channel, which were largely generated through many brandaligned alliances that we have built with the UN, World Economic Forum, Red Cross, and European Employment Forum. - Common challenges of the plan execution: 1. Effectiveness of the strategy: Strategy’s effect is usually shown after a 3-6 month period. Is there a need for prioritization? 2. Assessment of our strategy’s impact on the network: How can AI better support the execution of these strategies for countries that have adopted them? - Growing Sustainably towards our mid-term ambition: In addition to the key long-term strategies that were mentioned above, we have worked on 9 innovation projects (across product development, market development, etc.), to enable AIESEC to continuously grow our production capacity while enabling better quality experiences in the upcoming years. In the meantime, all the tactical approaches we are using to address the current needs of the organization are created in a long-term sustainable framework, the best example being the refreshed program-based country development model aiming at fundamentally supporting entities through the understanding of the product-based development process as well as the capitalization and creation of sub-regional based growth examples. - Finance and Business Development Overview The overall expense lines are generally on budget and we haven’t had any unexpected costs in the quarter, although, some travel budgets have been used heavily, which will be re-allocated in Q1 2013 in order to reflect strategic priorities and to stay on budget. The Business Development Team of AIESEC International exceptionally attended 52 physical sales meetings and over 34 virtual meetings that ensured 85% of the current year’s budget achievement. We project a significant conversion of those prospects into partners in the next quarters. We have also signed a new Global Partnership with International SOS, who will be raising internship opportunities and participating in our conference cycle. However our projected revenue for the 2013-14 budget is significantly down due to major reductions in contracts and drop in partnerships.

Florent Mei Yi President of AIESEC International 2012/2013


1.1.

Engage with the “Why” of our organization

The foundation of the AI plan is built based on the “why” - Our shared values.! Throughout the year, 3 key strategies have been created and executed to engage the network with our shared values as presented. (P1)

1. Clarity Refreshment An 8-step-organization-value-clarification document was jointly created by the AIESEC International Team as an explanation of the connection between the AIESEC Way, AIESEC 2015, and the BHAG (presented in the previous quarter report) to ensure the purpose of AIESEC is firmly reinforced: Our impact as an International Platform is to enable young people to explore and develop their leadership potential for them to have a positive impact on society through our leadership development experiences. Throughout the past quarter, the document content evolved to incorporate and align with the World Economic Forum’s Global Council Output on New Models of Leadership, a summit in which Florent Meiyi (PAI) participated. This was done in order to include new leadership theory that validates our existing model. After which, further feedback was given by the Global Steering Team, consisting of 12 MCPs from 6 different regions.

2. Role-model Connection We have long recognized the power of the role-modelling effect across various types of organizations, therefore the “8step-organization-value-clarification” document was made compulsory to be addressed before any performance and delivery of other organization strategies. The content has been physically delivered to all regions of the network by the AI team, in person, through 23 strategic meetings (hosted by AI) & regional/sub-regional conferences (participated in or led by AI), through 32 entity coaching visits and through virtual channels to all the MCPs. (Estimated direct reach of over 2,500 national/local executive leaders of AIESEC). The reaction and validation from the network has proved to be very positive and encouraging, based on the 200 sample feedback surveys we have collected.

3. Engagement at all level – Internal Communication Plan We have developed and carried out 2 Major Internal Communication Campaigns with the Internal Communication GST to ensure that our internal communication is able to fully engage all levels of the organization with the purpose of the AIESEC, while facilitating progress towards organizational goal achievement.

Global Matching Rate increased from 45% in Q4 2011 to 55% Q4 2012; 28% Matching growth

75% TN Raising goal achievement; 7% growth in TN raise; 20% Growth in EP recruitment

We had around 30% growth in matching this quarter. The continuous and significant growth in GIP matching and improvement in matching rate proves that we have become more experienced in managing this program globally. Top GCPs are: 1) Culture and supporting structure for delivery; 2) Sub-product based recruitment and delivery; 3) Improved knowledge of supply and demand; 4) Strict raising control and expectation management; 5) Micromanagement of delivery progress Top 10 entities in absolute growth in TN matching are India(75), Brazil(46), Japan(34), MoC(29), Poland(23), Russia(23), Hungary(12), Romania(12), Czech Republic(11), Spain(10)

We didn’t achieve the sales peak we aimed for in Oct-Dec. The main reason is the insufficient quality of sales activities due to -Lack of strategies and activities to drive short-term results -Lack of sufficient and qualified HR for sales -Lack of operation management in peak due to distraction of conference/visit or other activities -Lack of sales campaign management (timing, HR, incentive, tracking, etc) Meanwhile, we are successfully attracting students for the GIP program. However, we are not sure if we are recruiting the right EPs for GIP. Generally, the success of GIP is relying on a massive TN sales activity aligned with the proper EP supply we have. Top 10 entities for absolute growth in TN raises are India (109), Brazil(64), Russia(47), Peru(21), Romania(21), Ireland(20), Norway(13), Belgium(12), Dominic Republic(11), Lebanon, Tanzania, The Philippines(10).

Top 10 entities in absolute growth in EP matching are Mexico(26), Tunisia(22), Poland(18), Russia(18), US(17), Germany(13), Argentina(13), Colombia(12), Egypt(12), Czech Republic, Indonesia, Serbia(11)

Top 10 entities for absolute growth in EP raises are Germany (119), Mexico(78), Tunisia(68), Colombia(63), Morocco(50), US(44),Turkey(38), Egypt(33), Slovakia, Spain(27)

101% TN raising achievement 77% EP raising achievement •

The growth of GCDP EP raising (45%) has decreased compared to last year, while the rate of GCDP TN Raising is constant. The growth of 21% of GCDP EP is still not sufficient compared to the growth and achievement of GCDP TN. This imbalance of supply may affect the matching process of TNs. This indicates that EP growth strategy needs to be explored by having better segmentation for Dec – Jan realisations.

TMP – TLP for Exchange Performance •

Clarity: Understanding the ‘Why’ we do what we do as an organisation, also brought learning to the network in how to better manage TMP-TLP for exchange growth. This clarity strategically links with the “Backwards Planning in Talent Management, in order to ensure that there is an aligned timeline for TM processes based on each entity exchange program focus and processes. TMP – TLP Management contributed to Q4 exchange performance specifically in 5 entities: Italy, India, Qatar, Czech Republic, Portugal and is currently being assessed by SOGA. AI TM Strategic Meeting Output: Ensuring that talent capacity drives growth of GIP & GCDP. The output has been viewed by over 4,000 people in 100 countries. This output supported Trainings, Conferences, Summits, Country visits, virtual education and consultancy across all regions: http://bit.ly/TCdrivingXgrowth

Closing

The alignment between Team Programmes, Talent Management and Talent Capacity has been clarified, and has been communicated to the network in a very simple and understandable way. This alignment mentioned above, also takes the TMP-TLP principles into consideration.

1. TM Process Review: Adding system administration as a key TM process, implemented consciously on the local level, as part of induction, ensured that 80% of all members recruited in Q4 was properly recorded. 2. However, continuously doing this not just systematically, but as a key organisational behavior is required, for Q1/Q2 (2013) and a long-term management of TMP-TLP.

Process Optimization

Key achievements and strategy analysis

# Project Description: To improve and invent systems and tools in order to maximize the delivery of AIESEC experiences. Impact on team purpose: Strengthening the network belief in our MoS through the ability to deliver AIESEC experiences in a faster and more intelligent way.

#

Exchange Process Optimization Purpose: In order to deliver 1 Million experiences by 2015, we have to become ten times faster in exchange process optimization. This project aims to reach 100% realization rate, 15 days GCDP matching, 30 days GIP matching and 30 days as an average realization time. Progress: Since October we finalized our research phase by collecting all kinds of customer data; created a testing and implementation plan; started the testing phase; created a design brief for an IT platform; validated our progress with internal and external stakeholders, and started collecting quotes from IT companies.

Building Systems and Tools to maximize delivery of experiences Project: Development of the Online Registration System (ORS) Purpose: By developing a long-term ORS, AIESEC will be able to track conversion to customer ratio. Progress: 1. We have enhanced the functionalities of the Online Registration System (ORS) for Students. 2. We have built the Online Registration System (ORS) for Alumni to show interest in raising TN without AIESEC contacting them.

Project: Development of Web Application Purpose: By optimizing processes through new systems and tools, the network will maximize its efficiency being able to deliver 12/13 MoS and also move faster towards 2015 goals achievement. Progress: After 8-weeks CEEDerships, we developed significant parts of the database interface and implemented most of the desired business logic in the Exchange Management module of the Process Optimization Platform (which includes an API). However, after piloting CEEDership-based development of such a large project, we realized that there may be much more efficient development models. Before further development we decided to take a step back and take a look at different models, like in-house open sourced and outsourcing hybrids. For more regular updates on this topic, please refer to the document "Global Information System development models from scratch", or contact the Global Information Management Manager (Thomas, thomasj@ai.aiesec.org).

#

Improve systems and tools to maximize delivery of experiences Project: Improving current MyAIESEC.net

Project: New Analysis Menu in MyAIESEC.net

Purpose: Improving constantly the current GlS in order to maximize the ‘Performance & Functionality’ of the System.

Purpose: By having real-time Business Intelligence, the network will have clarity about its local/national and global markets and products in order to make business’ decisions faster.

Organizational Models for Operations Growth Key achievements and strategy analysis

# Project Description: Grow AIESEC operations by creating Specialized Units, finding models of rapid MC expansion, and identifying growth patterns that can be replicated by entities across regions. Impact on team purpose: Increase capacity for MoS achievement across the network and support entities to find models for sustainable growth towards AIESEC 2015.

#

Specialized Units

Purpose: The aim is to test the concept of specialized units in different scenarios and to be able to decide which scenarios do we want to drive in the network to be able to grow more. We believe that SUs will help us grow more effectively. Progress: Slovenia: A weak LC was turned into an SU. EBs selected & members recruited for SUs for OGIP & another for IGCDP. Growth from 0 members in 2011 to 10 members & from 0 applicants for OGIP to 40. Honduras: A new expansion country started as an SU by AIESEC in Nicaragua. A CEED has been sent there to support the expansion team (non-AIESECers) to start an OGCDP SU. Indonesia: SUs starting in big & small cities & led by LCs. 13 SU EBs were selected across the entity. 4 are active for winter peak and have 17 RA so far. The rest are preparing for the summer peak. Egypt: Planning for 12 SUs to become LCs later. 3 are already functioning & have a result of 6 OGCDP & 8 IGCDP in the winter peak. 3 SUs out of the 12 are focused on IGIP & the rest on GCDP. They also have SUs that aren’t meant to be LCs in the future and they exist in the capital and focusing on OGCDP. More information is available here.

MC Expansion Purpose: Expand AIESEC into new countries and territories for MoS growth; increase the reach of AIESEC’s programmes Progress: 1. AI finalized the new expansions process to be legislated in IPM and a global priority list of territories/countries to expand to, has been finalized & legislated in November virtual legislation. 2. Since October 1, applications to become Expansion Initiative have been submitted from Laos, Sierra Leone & Burundi (re-applied). Also, Namibia, Laos & Burundi were accepted to become EIs. Namibia became a contracted unit with Germany as their current financial partner entity. 3. Expansions summit happened virtually with the GST to finalize all templates, documents & contracts needed to continue with the new expansion process. 4. A document has been created to explain the new expansion process for AIESECers and non-AIESECers so they know what they need to do in order to expand together. On-going coaching from AI & GST to current expansions regarding the process and strategies of expanding. More information is available here. Next steps include: • Releasing the Expansion campaign to the network to attract more Entity partners • On-going support and coaching to Expansions and key investments into making expansions happen

Entity/Country Development Framework Purpose: Identify growth patterns that will enable entities to grow in different markets Progress: 1. Growth paths of AIESEC India and AIESEC in Mainland of China have been documented. 2. Identified growth paths will be used as GCPs, not as an operational GCP but rather as a strategic one. 3. The next step is to document more paths and use them so other entities can grow faster and stronger using other’ experience. 4. Consultancy week delivered to support entities not visited yet with coaching and provide operational training to the entire network. Find the output here. 5. Delivered: Programme based strategic meetings (TMP/TLP at AI office, GCDP in Turkey and GIP in Poland and Finland), Country Visits, Sub-Regional Summits. 6. The next step is to create a Consultancy programme that enables entities’ growth. This programme includes (but not limited to) physical consultancy, virtual spaces, Regional & Sub-regional collaboration, Conferences and Meetings.

Customer Feedback System Implementation & Usage Key achievements and strategy analysis

# Project Description: We have system(s) in place to react to our customers’ feedback and fully measure our success as organization. Impact on team purpose: Because of this, entities have reacted for customer care, innovation, process optimization and showcasing impact. Furthermore, we have set Organizational Goals for 2015 around Quality, which leads to long term achievement of AIESEC 2015.

#

NPS: Customer Gauge System Implementation Purpose: Implement Customer Gauge NPS across another 33 entities (44 in total) spanning around 80% of Exchange operations to be ready for full global implementation from 2013-14 year onwards. This will give us final insights into system and management evolution required for AIESEC to fully measure and deal with customer feedback as a quality framework. Progress: • The first implementation phase started with a total of 43 entities involved. • All people who had ELD experiences between July 2012 and January 2013 has been and will be surveyed • Based on the initial pilot, changes were made in surveys for all programmes • A Global Support Team is in place to support the entities and document cases of NPS data usage for assistance to our customers (fire- fighting), marketing and processes improvement Next • Present our findings, conclusions, and scenarios of full IT-system implementation to the Global Plenary to make a decision upon it • Present findings and conclusions for strategic implementation and educate the network of MCPs around it • Integrate NPS into the Global Planning process • Based on the two points mentioned above, we will define the steps until the end of AI 12-13 term Key general insights: • Even though some system set-up delays affected, AIESEC still needs to learn how to deal with and reply to customer feedback including resource allocation • Initially, NPS was explored to solve the gap in Quality as MoS, but our experience shows that it goes beyond that, challenging AIESEC to become a customer-centered organisation • Key challenge we foresee is the disconnect between growth and customer experience that leads into NPS being a “nice to have” • Beyond system and technical education, strong cultural shaping is needed


3.2.2.

Integrated Experiences Key achievements and strategy analysis

# Project Description: Deliver more integrated experiences to enhance the quality and impact of the AIESEC Experiences we deliver. Impact on team purpose: Achieve MoS for 12/13 and towards AIESEC 2015 and reinforce the belief in the “Why” and our impact model.

#

Defining and measuring Integrated Experiences Purpose: Defining what an integrated experience looks like in the new AIESEC Experience and start measuring it Progress: • After the definition of Q3, the progress in Q4 is in terms of measuring integrated experiences: a new “conversion menu” is currently added in the “Analysis Menu” on MyAIESEC.net. The menu is currently in the testing phase and will be launched in Q1 to the whole network. We believe that this menu plays a huge role for integrated experiences, as everyone will be able to see the results and thus plan accordingly (feedback given also by Steering Team). •

Based on this we are extracting data from myaiesec.net to track the number of integrated experiences lived and in what order. Please find bellow the for results of the year 2012:

Growth in GCDP from our current talent capacity Purpose: More and better GCDP experiences and more integrated experiences. Progress: • Resources generated for product development of GCDP opportunities for TMP and TLP • Collection of GCDP from main Entities as Brazil and India.

Growth in Talent Capacity reintegrating GCDP participants Purpose: Growth in Talent Capacity and more integrated experiences " Reintegrate 20% of the members who went on GCDP during Q3 " Run a pilot with specific entities to develop a framework for reintegration. Progress: • Proper implementation in 7 Entities: Egypt, Brazil, India, Kenya, Colombia, Russia and MoC • Resources generated: re-integration checklist, Guide on how to improve GCDP quality & Talent Pipeline through Re-integration • Good Case Practices from India, Brazil and Egypt on how to do re-integration

Improving EP delivery in GCDP Purpose: Better quality of GCDP experiences Progress: Framework development of the role of an EP with previous TMP/TLP experience (for more info see strategy “enhancing learning experience” in the EP delivery report or GCDP summit output)

Improved GIP experiences after team experiences Purpose: Better quality of GIP experiences Progress: not a focus in this quarter. Next steps: ! Connection between NPS and Integrated Experiences ! Re-integration report of the pilot Entities ! Direct support to specific Entities ! Resource center updates with more GCPs from the network. ! Education of IXP on usage of the new MyAIESEC.net menu.

EP Experience Preparation Key achievements and strategy analysis

#

Project Description: We develop models of better EP Experience preparation for better experience delivery. Impact on team purpose: By focusing on the EP experiences we are able to create more promoters of AIESEC to # grow our Exchange programmes and achieve MoS both in 12/13 and towards long-term AIESEC 2015 sustainable growth. We deliver our value proposition and reconnect our experiences with the “Why� of AIESEC and how our # exchange programmes help young people to explore and develop their leadership potential.

#

Creating more promoters through better GCDP Experience Delivery

Purpose: Clear framework for entities to create more promoters for GCDP in delivering better GCDP experience. Progress overall: The framework is established and addressing the concerns of GCDP customers through out their experience. See below for the complete framework.

Source information: Global GCDP Strategic Meeting 1. Creating Promoters through issue development Purpose: Better standardization on Job Description, Impact Creation and Communication in GCDP Project implementation. Progress in the network (strategy example): We are driving entities to standardize JD and measure of success of their national project to ensure quality of the experience delivery. For example, AIESEC in Brazil having 13 of their national project being standardized in their JD and timeline for every week of the program. 2. Creating Promoters through better project management based on customer experience Purpose: Having a standardized project management framework for the network and management of EP Experience in the process. Progress in the network (strategy example): We are currently delivering education to entities to include in their project plan EP experience delivery from project preparation, cultural preparation, logistical preparation, and experience evaluation for better delivery. This education is provided to the network and especially for entities that are part of the implementation strategy. 3. Creating Promoters through enhancement of EP learning/leadership experience Purpose: Creating a better environment for our exchange participants where they can learn and explore the possibilities in their internship. Progress in the network (strategy example): There are 4 main activities being implemented in several entities. These include: Trainee Conference, LEAD for EP, Micro Experience, and EP Team Leader. For example EP Team Leader and LEAD for EP is starting to be implemented in AIESEC in Brazil and AIESEC in Colombia partnership. Trainee Conference is implemented in AIESEC in Egypt. 4. Creating Promoters through better customer feedback and resolving system Purpose: Creating the behavior in real-time customer feedback through a better communication. Progress in the network (strategy example): Several entities in the network are currently creating structures and final responsibles for quality in their local and national operation. Mostly, this is found inbig operational entities. We highly recommend every entity to have their Local Exchange responsible to be at least holding the responsibility in quality of experiences. Strategy Implementation Plan: - GST is currently tracking on entities that are in the implementation strategy plan. The implementation is based on the NPS feedback and the delivery plan based on the creating promoters strategies.

Quarter 4 Highlights • • • • •

We have sign a contract with a new Global Partner: International SOS. International SOS will be raising internships opportunities and participating in our conference cycle. We visited the following global partners and global trial partners: ING, Cognizant, Nike, DP DHL, Unilever, Stanley Black and Decker, BP, Microsoft Electrolux, Husqvarna, and EF. We signed contracts with Potencia Ventures (2-year contract) and ING (1-year contract). We attended 52 meetings in-person and we had over 34 virtual meetings. These will become a good pipeline for conversion between prospects to partners in the next two quarters. We participated in Global Consultancy Day, contributed to the Sales Development Programme, and participated in the Nordic Sales Summit.

Partnership Management •

• • •

Overall, relationship management and account delivery of global partnerships are on track according to our contracts. As reported in Q3, we are currently in the process of converting one-year partnerships into two-year partnerships for increased sustainability. We foresee that in the next 6 to 12 months some major changes will occur in terms of budget allocation and delivery of contracts due to the current financial and economic crisis. We decided to convert the following global trial partners to national partners because their size of activities is not relevant enough to be managed globally: Kermel, Nestle and Nike. Due to financial constraints, Vale will no longer continue as a Global Exchange Partner starting from January 2013.

Pipeline Management AIESEC International continuously strives to attract new organisations in order to give more opportunities to AIESECers around the world. We are currently working with MCs to co-sell global partnerships to the following organisations: • CH Robinson • Deutsch Bank • Walgreens • Glenmark Pharmaceuticals • Asurion • Larsen Toubro • Michael Page • SABIC • Infosys • Johnson & Johnson • SAP • Euromoney • Pfizer • Merck • Universum • Y&R • MasterCard • H&M • Purac • Yara

AIESEC 2015: Measures of Success Achievement

! Community Development Programme: Global •! • • ! • •

!

End of Q4 we have achieved 95% of the 2012 goal of GCDP Achieved 2695 GCDP realization by quarter 4 GCDP Growth rate is 17% growth comparing to 2011 in quarter 4 Currently 3675 TNs are matched Currently 6535 TNs and 3532 EPs are available raised after July 2012

Conclusion: Currently the supply of EPs is almost half of the TN supply, the other percentage of EP supply was ! before July 2012. Retaining EPs is needed for the realisation of Q1 2013 goals. There needs to be more raised exploration in oGCDP raising and matching efficiency.

! !

Global Internship Programme: •! • •!

We have achieved 5231 GIP realization-75% of original 2015 ambition for 2012 We have grown 8.3% from 4831 in 2011 We have 936 forms matched in the system to be realized

Conclusion: The fundamental reason that we didn’t achieve the goal 7000 for calendar year 2012 is because the network is not yet prepared for that scale of achievement. GIP hasn’t achieved a breakthrough in the previous years and the term 2011-2012 grew only 4% compared with term 2010-2012. For the 45% growth that we aim, it demands much more time and experience. The network needs to focus, try, learn, share success and failures, and eventually gain the knowledge and experience for the program. However, from Jul to Dec, AIESEC has grown 30% in GIP matches, which is very rare in recent history. We are confident that we are learning and growing in GIP and that we do have the capacity to deliver 7,000 GIP experiences. Team Member Programme: • •

At end of Q4 we achieved 79340 experiences, 97% of 2012 TMP goal. System improvement for experiences in retrospect: The experiences matched/realized before October 18th were also adjusted to align with the current system logic of realized TMP-TLP experiences based on exact role start date. 46064 realizations were achieved from AI 2012-2013 goal.

Conclusion: We have bridged a huge gap in TMP compared to the beginning of 2012. Experiences on the system are been recorded properly and processes have been put in place to balance that physically at local and national level. Now is the time for two main things: 1. Educate more the network how to capitalise on the improvement done so far, customising TM process based on organisation need. 2. To scale up TMP growth across all entities (top, medium and less performing entities) to build a strong pipeline which will contribute to GIP & GCDP goal achievement. Team Leader Programme: • • •

At end of Q4 we have achieved 33710 experiences, 160% of 2012 TLP goal. Same system logic for TMP retrospection above, also applies to TLP. 18347 realizations was achieved from AI 2012-2013 goal.

Conclusion: TLP is a more mature program, considering the need for people to want to become leaders for themselves, for AIESEC, and for the society at large. This is evident in the achievement of TLP goal in 2012 and even with a great pipeline generated for 2013! Now is the time for two main things: 1. Completely balancing the TLP ratio with TMP based on TMP-TLP Principle, making sure that TMP grows at par with TLP. 2. Capitalizing on the maturity of this program to grow other programs (TMP, GIP & GCDP) as it is also justification of quality of Team Leader participants! Quality: Even if we don’t have a goal set for 2012 until 2015, AIESEC International is working hard in the implementation of the NPS methodology to ensure we are able to fully measure our success as organisation. For more details please refer to the report regarding the Strategic Initiative of “Customer Feedback System Implementation and usage”


!

Innovation The purpose of the Innovation team in AIESEC International is to bring innovative solutions, which would make achievement of 2015 goals possible. That is why we are currently running 9 innovation projects, which are directly linked to MoS and the impact of these projects should directly influence the achievement of the goals for not only term 12/13 but the following terms in order to achieve goals of 2015. For more information about the projects and their progress please follow the Innovation team report.

Information Management The main milestones of Quarter 4 towards 2015 were: " " " " "

Gergely Doszpod, the AI IT Auditor, has worked with IM SC in order to provide the first IM audit the audit whose results will be presented at IPM 2013. Enrique Villal贸n, previous AI VP IM, has accepted the role of Chair of the Information Management Advisory Council. AIESEC International has progressed significantly and is finalizing the renegotiation of a Long Tem contract for the development and maintenance of MyAIESEC.net with Tata Communication Service. AIESEC International has deployed 3 new Analysis Menus and is currently testing 3 more. The IM Team started to pilot new IT projects related to web application, API and cloud computing (Please refer to Production Capacity: Process Optimization)

Brand Experience The brand refresh is a strategy that began in 2011 and will continue until 2015, it is about innovating around how we present ourselves and improving the message about AIESEC we communicate online, in print and in person. The process has involved input from all regions of the global network, from 2 AIESEC International teams, and from the Supervisory Group of AIESEC International. Based on the 5 brand attributes, a process has been undertaken to realise the best way to present AIESEC to the world. This process will include changes to marketing materials, online communication channels (e.g. website, social media) as well as strategies on how to align our actions and programmes to the reputation we want to have.

Financial Management and Business Development AIESEC International has been working with the AIESEC network in order to revise the Global ER Principles this year. The reasons for doing this is to capitalize better on MNC market for GIP growth, align incentives of MCs and AI on global sales, harmonize products and pricing for global partners across markets for better delivery and faster growth through internal sales, and to avoid competition between AIESEC entities in sale to MNCs Initiative #1: Pilot of Price Harmonization Context: Harmonized products and pricing in developed markets for consistent product delivery and sales Goal: Raise 24 TNs with specific Global Partners and with specific AIESEC entities and attract potential global partners Global Partners Participating: DP DHL, UBS and Alcatel Lucent AIESEC Entities Participating: US, France, Netherlands, Germany, India, Mainland of China, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Egypt) Results: 7 TNs raised and over 10 companies in the pipeline waiting to be converted to global partners or global trial partners (you can find some of these in the pipeline management section). Recommendations: We recommend that we continue piloting with these companies and these specific AIESEC entities for the next 3 months. The recommendation comes from the fact that our global partners received the pilot very well, but told us that driving internal sales during this period is difficult (Q4) since budgets have already been allocated. Our global partners see the relevance of the pilot and would like us to continue the implementation of it.

Initiative #2: Global ER Principles Strategic Meeting Context: AIESEC International hosted a 4-day strategic meeting to evaluate the current ER principles and come out with output for legislation AIESEC Entities Participating: Turkey, Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, Mainland of China, India, United States, United Kingdom, Hungary, Czech Republic, Colombia, and Bahrain Recommendations: • • • • •

Delivering the “Why” through GEPs: We need to communicate the why of GEPs in every step of the process. One consistent product in a global market: We need to have a consistent product in order to be able to sell externally as a global organisation and increase our relevance. Access to Global for GIP Growth in MNCs: We need to create a global prospect list that aligns AIESEC International and AIESEC entities in the network. Co-Sales and Up scaling to Common Value Creation: We need to drive co-selling and upscaling partnerships between entities in order to increase our impact and create common value across the world. Making ILM’s more sustainable: We need to create a common understanding and share value between CCs and AIs in order to make ILM’s more sustainable.

Innovation towards AIESEC 2015 Key achievements and strategy analysis

! The purpose of Innovation team: experimenting with new ways of delivering the AIESEC experience in order to make sure we deliver 1,000,000 experiences by 2015. Main deliverables:

Establishing Innovation in AIESEC From the beginning of the term we have been working on establishing the way innovation in AIESEC should work. We have established the framework in the first quarter of our term and we have continued using this framework in the second quarter of our term. For more information about the Innovation in AIESEC itself please follow the link.

Running Innovation projects (9 projects of Q3) Technical youth alliance partnerships for GIP EP supply Purpose: To contribute to the growth of our core Global Internship Programme through focused partnership with technical youth organisations: Pilot 15 LC partnerships for 300 EP realisations. Progress: We are exploring partnerships with predominantly European-based youth organisations - BEST, EESTEC, ESTIEM and IEEE. We are in final negotiations with EESTEC, ESTIEM and IEEE to sign global partnerships. We are piloting a framework with 15 LCs from across a variety of countries to see if we can develop a local model for cooperation with these organisations.

CultureShock (www.culture-shock.me) - Online Storytelling Purpose: To build a new online product relating to the engagement with AIESEC phase of the AIESEC experience. Enable AIESEC to attract a student audience of 50,000 young people that are interested in exploring new cultures. We aim to attract 2000 of these to the ORS system to indicate their interest in joining an AIESEC programme. Progress: We have built and launched a beta version prototype and are running a one months test phase (Dec 2012-Jan 2013). We are currently 2 weeks into testing (see below for statistics so far).

Online Challenge Purpose: To build a new online product relating to the engagement with AIESEC phase of the AIESEC experience. Engaging 50,000 young people online towards a challenge that innovates how we provide practical learning experience to young people. We aim to have 2,000 people sign up to an ELD programme as a result. Progress: We have completed the research phase of the project and have taken the decision to put this innovation project into the innovation bank. The research showed that this idea would not yield the return on investment of resources required at this moment in time. To see the output paper with the conclusions of the research, please see here.! http://issuu.com/stevesp/docs/online_challenge_input_paper_2.12

Raising Global Internship Programme through Alumni Purpose: To contribute to our growth in Global Internship Programme by creating a sub-product for our Alumni and realizing 1 000 GIP by 1t July 2013 (new partnerships, not re-raised). Progress: We have working Online Registration System with updated information about GIP. We have launched the campaign and achieved over 30 relevant registrations for GIP TN in different countries/territories. We are launching the second wave of the campaign to boost the results even more. More over we have collected references from Alumni who took GIP TN in past and we are promoting it in the campaign and website. Besides the campaign and ORS we have developed how, together with the LinkedIn group, we can support raising GIP TNs on the global and local level to bring


additional growth to achieve our goals.

Building reputation through Alumni Purpose: To contribute to our reputation building by capitalizing on showcasing the stories and profiles of our Alumni. 100,000 members on AIESEC Alumni Global and 20 000 people traffic to aiesec.org from LinkedIn are the goals we are striving for. Progress: After last quarter when we developed the content of the group, we focused this quarter on mapping our alumni on LinkedIn, driving the growth of members in our AIESEC Alumni Global group, and creating an active group. We achieved the following results: 76 % growth in Alumni joining the group in comparison with previous quarter and the highest discussion rate from the start of the group in 2007. We are working currently on cross connecting of the group with other groups and other social media and channels, getting key people to support us in bringing new members, managing the information towards AIESEC members on how to work with content of the LinkedIn group. These initiatives should bring even bigger results in following months.

Exchange Process Optimization Purpose: In order to deliver 1 Million experiences until 2015, we have to become ten times faster in exchange process optimization. This project aims to reach 100% realisation rate, 15 days GCDP matching, 30 days GIP matching and 30 days as average realisation time. This has been confirmed by the Process Optimisation Strategic Meeting in November. Progress: Since October we finalized our research phase by collecting all kind of customer data; created a testing and implementation plan; started the testing phase; created a design brief for an IT platform; validated our progress with internal and external stakeholders, started collecting quotes from IT companies. For more information, please refer to the Process Optimisation Strategic Initiative!

Sub-product Evolution Purpose: We have to develop more sub-products before 2015, therefore starting with GIP we aim to create a breakthrough for the tourism and engineering product by realizing 500-500 realizations. Moreover, we decided to focus on GCDP by creating a Global GCDP Segmentation Strategy for bigger production and better quality of our experiences. Progress: Regarding GIP we started working on 4 sub-segments – electronics, electrical, industrial, mechanical – in the engineering product with 1 entities. We have a matching sheet and a Podio working space for the cooperation and we had the first round of evaluation. We executed the same set of actions for tourism as well. Regarding GCDP, we created a plan and launched a survey in order to gather information and involve entities. GCDP – Next Steps
