Global Strategy: OGCDP product packaging
12. Supply & Demand
Co-delivery
• This strategy is crucial in order to ensure that we deliver high quality leadership
development experiences in our exchanges.
• By brining this structure to your entity you will add quality and value to GCDP,
easy communication and expectations with other entities as well as the
strategy will save resources as entities do not have to unnecessarily repeat
certain activities.
• All of the above will result in faster and better processes
and progress and lead to growth in the network as a whole
13. Supply & Demand
What to consider for re-planning?
Country Partnerships:
• Prioritize your country partnerships – ensure to spend effort and time on the
partnerships that are bringing you value
• Have an online tool where you can track the partnership - include checklist with
timeline for what needs to be delivered in the partnership
• Create a tool to track the LCs that fulfill CY partnership requirements
• Review structures on who and how to manage the partnerships (MCVP, NSTs etc.)
Co-delivery:
• Define minimum criteria for co-delivery (to put clear KPIs)
• Ensure that you have standardized framework of elements in the co-delivery flow
(OPS, EP LEAD etc.)
• Look up GCPs from the network to use when planning co-delivery
• Allocate Partnership Managers to track implementation of
co-delivery minimums in LCs
14. Supply & Demand
Implementation Inputs:
Country Partnerships:
• Have a simplified tracking tool for country partnership
• Ensure to have MCP – MCP relation within any CY partnership
• Make sure to collect and share GCPs and materials
• Use national conferences to promote the partner countries and create excitement in your
entity Ensure LCP – LCP relationship in the partnerships
• Use returnees to make and support in the creating of the partnerships
• Smaller CYs (<30) should focus on CY-LC partnerships, with high performance LCs.
• MCs should allocate CY partnership X to LCs based on their X potential, Market
Relevance as well as LC ability to fulfill CY partnership promise
Co-delivery:
• Co-delivery should happen in every exchange that we facilitate – hence co-delivery is the
responsibility of all entities
• Ensure to have simple education platform showing how to LC can fulfill the co-delivery
• Have a system for CYs to track and see fulfillment of Co-Delivery standards between
CYs.
• Entities need to have understanding of what is done by sending
entity & host entity to not repeat the same processes with an EP

21. Talent Capacity for GCDP
Why is it important?
TMP-TLP has to drive GCDP for growth, therefore structures and
learning systems are crucial.
What results it can bring to my entity?
• Exchange culture in LCs to be developed
• Members more involved to work for the purpose of AIESEC
• Increasing productivity per member
• Increasing production capacity of a LC
• Ensuring better learning and development of members
• Better synergy between front and back offices.
22. Talent Capacity for GCDP
Implementation inputs
• MCP, TM and OD must study the entire TC summit output and define
the implementation plan and responsibilities together.
• Set KPIs to evaluate and track implementation, e.g. productivity per
member.
• Restructuring in LCs should start in the first physical touch point with LCs
to be aligned with the EB 2014 structure and next recruitment peak.
• Restructuring requires a big change. Help LCs to discuss and
understand the need for it to gain their commitment and together
validate the structures.
• Track the implementation weekly in the first period, gradually
decrease the intensity of tracking after achieving significant
milestones.
• Strongly recommend the structure of the EB from MC level, e.g.
communicate that positions (e.g. LCVP IM in a >30X LC) that are not
recommended, will not be supported/addressed
from MC
• Adjust the national and local education cycle
to the new structure

26. Marketing for Conversion
Why is this important?
• We need to evolve as an organization, in order to achieve 2015 and beyond,
becoming a BIG AIESEC. Right now:
– Marketing activities are confused as Communications and are not
accountable to GIP or GCDP – Marketing is not driving GIP/GCDP.
– We only match 30% of our available EP forms, and even less of our TNs.
– We take 120 days to match.
– We realize only a fraction of what we attract.
• We need to have a fully integrated market place connecting external with
internal data (Students OP, Companies OP, ORS, NPS, etc.)
• Bring synergy among back office and front office to leverage results
What results can it bring to the entity?
• Accurate profiles’ attraction, with right expectations
• Fast and simple conversion systems
• Higher conversion rate
• Increase in matching rate with right profiles
• Lower the delivery time of the experience
28. Leadership in Every XP
Why is this important?
What results can it bring to the entity?
1. Conscious leadership development though new inner & outer journey
elements facilitation: clear actions and initiatives.
2. TMP|TLP are motivated to grow GCDP because
they see and understand impact we bring.
LXP is about conscious leadership development in GCDP, when
we know what should we do exactly to ensure leadership
development, how to facilitate inner & outer journey.
Clarity of why GCDP connects organizational purpose and direct
impact, one cannot be fulfilled without another, which in the end
bring Clarity of How AIESEC develops leadership
Once there is a clarity of why & how of leadership development in
GCDP, TMP/TLP are driven to deliver more experiences
developing leadership.
29. Leadership in Every XP
What to consider for re-planning:
Understand what leadership your country needs and how AIESEC
can develop this leadership through inner & outer journey.
Align the projects to the social need of your country and ensure
that these projects set the right pace to facilitate LXP: they are
bringing relevant impact which EP, TMP, TLP can see and feel.
Create conversations around – example - the current TNs being
offered and how can the JDs be modified to include elements of
outer journey. If necessary, replan!
Assess inner & outer journey elements facilitation in operations,
include it to JDs of TMP|TLP and their Learning and Development.
Leverage from the Global PR SI – Youth Leadership Provider of the
World, and work towards the position of AIESEC in your entity as
the Y L P in the entity.
31. Customer Loyalty for Students
Why is this important?
What results can it bring to the entity?
1. Credibility of AIESEC: an organization with which it is safe to go on internship.
2. Responsible membership in GCDP, clear standards
globally and setting aligned expectations from both sides
3. More promoters & more customers due to word of mouth
and improved products and services.
For every intern who takes internship with AIESEC and wants
to develop leadership we need to provide basics. As AIESEC,
we need to ensure customers SAFETY.
For our customer we are one AIESEC, not AIESEC in country A
and B. To ensure the customer loyalty because of great
experience we need to ensure that the STANDARDS are
being followed.
Each 7th GCDP customer will not recommend this experience, 4 out
of 10 will not mention it as the brightest experience of their lives. We
need to ensure customer’s SATISFACTION with experience
provided by AIESEC.
32. CLSWhat to consider in re-planning:
Safety:
1. Plan which safety measures your entity needs to take to ensure safety for your EP´s in the
GCDP programme (both as sending and host entity)
2. Research insurance options in your entities to be able to provide EP´s with advice for
which insurance they can take
3. Integrate safety education to OPS´and other preparation processes in local level
Standards:
1. Evaluate the current implementation of quality standards
2. Ensure that all members are educated about XPP standards by including the quality
standards education in induction and learning cycle
3. Define KPIs and track the implementation of the standards
4. Allocate people to be responsible for tracking or specify JD´s to include that everyone
has the responsibility of fulfilling the standards
Satisfaction:
1. Use NPS data to put it into CEM startegy: analyze the issues, generate ideas for process
improvement and product development and validate it though actual customers, talk to
them.
2. Set goals for NPS (% of promoters, % response rate, % of cases opened/closed)
3. Plan activities around network culture building and education on CEM
4. Ensure CEM strategies are reflected in Talent Capacity structures
and learning & development, in internal communication plan, etc.
33. CLS – Implementation inputs
Safety:
1. Adapt education to your national reality.
2. Allocate responsible to track implementation on local level.
3. EPs duties related to safety processes should be stated in EP contract.
4. Insurance must be mandatory for all EP´s, and there should be a certain
criteria that covers the features of insurance coverage. There should be
option of choice for which insurance the EP chooses to take
Standards:
1. Having a standards auditing team (to survey through a checklist whether the
EP was picked up on arrival, etc.)
2. Include the quality standards in membership criteria and eligibility for awards
3. Educate EPs about the quality standards in Outgoing and Incoming
Preparation Seminars
4. Consider which quality standards implementation can
be outsourced (e.g. Insurance, safety preparation, pick ups)
37. LEAD for EPs is designed to improve experience of our
exchange participants, and let them realize the leadership
learning & growth derived from an exchange experience.
This is as a support system system for their inner and outer
journey.
Definition of LEAD for EPs
38. • We believe in delivering quality and powerful
life changing experiences for more Individuals
(promoters & customers).
• We believe that an exchange experience
provides strong leadership development for
individuals through an inner & outer journey.
• Through our impact model, we believe
AIESEC contribute to solve societal issues and
moving towards its vision of peace and
fulfillment of human kind potential.
Why?
39. Objective
Create a platform to reflect, understand & develop
leadership,
Explore leadership potential of each single exchange
participant,
Creating quality EPs to re-integrate back into TMP-TLP
Reflect Understand
Develop
40. Expected Outcome:
Exchange participants understanding the importance of self
discovery for a better leadership journey and with a clear
understanding of his next steps.
Expected Outcome
41. There are 3 parts:
LEAD will start on OPS as back packing for EPs, this is done by VPTM
and/or OGX at the home entity.
A LEAD check-in for EPs in the middle of internship (example 4 weeks in
an 8weeks XP). Space for this is created by VPTM and/orVPICX, but the
space can be hosted by an Alumni, external Trainer, or someone
experienced with LEAD.
Right at the end of the exchange program, the EPs will have a check-
out LEAD moment, which leaves them with a realization of how they
have developed in their leadership. This space is also organized by the
VPTM and/or VPICX.
However, an assessment and showcasing of the EP LEAD experience
can happen during a re-integration seminar to give an opportunity for
reflection of experience and leadership developed.
Duration & Structure
42. How to execute the strategy
LCs need to remember that AIESEC is a platform for young
people to explore and develop their leadership potential.
It’ll influence a lot on personal development of Exchange
Participants.
The main purpose is creating a platform to reflect what
leadership is, and how it is correlate with themselves.
We strongly recommend to implement for this kind of
Entities:
- Those who has country partners and can ensure a
complete process home or abroad;
- OPS, re-integration seminars are already implemented;
- Have good leadership culture, to develop LEAD block.
- You can have a combined LEAD for ICX EPs already in
your country and OGX EPs that are leaving soon.

44. Self learning is a type of learning done by one’s self,
without a teacher or an instructor.
This type of learning has also been built in the LEAD for
EP project, so that they can take responsibility for their
learning, and also support learning of other.
This is done through an EP LEAD Journal.
