Introducing AIESEC 2015 in 7 slides April 2011
Essence and Progress The Chinese wisdom of Yin Yang 1 represents a metaphor between slow and fast, soft and hard, essence and progress: seemingly contradictory forces that, in the end, are interconnected, both essential for the continuation of the whole. Since the creation of the AIESEC Way, our organisation keeps this essence as our main compass that connects our vision Peace and the Fulfilment of Humankind s Potential to our evolution throughout the years. In order to advance, we need to maintain the essence of the organisation, but, at the same time, allow innovation and progress. It s not one versus the other, but one complementing the other! That s why AIESEC 2015 is about improving our current programmes exchange, leadership and global learning environment while inventing new ones. Progress Essence AIESEC 2015 stimulates progress and is our aspiration in order to get closer to our vision. The AIESEC Way is our compass to get there.
It s all linked! During the D.R.E.A.M. Process, AIESEC used various methodologies to develop AIESEC 2015. These helped us to understand how the different elements of AIESEC 2015 are linked. Golden Circle 2 - What is it? It is comprised of three spheres (Why, How and What). Below you can find the golden circles that defines AIESEC: Why How What Why (why does AIESEC exist?): To empower young people for Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind s Potential. How (How do we deliver our unique selling points?): Value-based platform; accessible to a high volume of young people; exploration and development of leadership potential; experiential learning, cross-cultural understanding and creating positive impact. What (what does AIESEC provide?): Team Member programme, Team Leader programme, Global Community Development programme, Global Internship programme Keep in Mind! The AIESEC Way is our compass and the Golden Circle model is just a way of explaining the same essence in another way. Nonetheless the content does not challenge the AIESEC Way, but rather strengthens it.
What we envision: BHAG Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind s Potential @Way Our BHAG: Engage and develop every young person in the world BHAG! What is it? BHAG stands for Big, Hairy, Audacious, Goal. It s a hope that drives organisational accomplishments by setting a focal point of efforts for organisational alignment 3. The BHAG is used for pointing a motivational direction that pushes us closer to our vision.
