Meeting #7 - Sep 1st

Agenda (AKL and VIC absent)

8:30 - 8:35: Stress level update

How is everyone feeling?
Everyone is feeling okay stress - but I believe not border line just yet lol!

8:35 - 8:40: KPI update

Please update the NPOX Tracking excel sheet and thanks to those that have already done so!

8:40 - 8:55: C2 (cycle 2) AC/RB prep (AKL | WTK | CTB)

So each LC, how many no. of applicants going thru AC/RB?
When Yi Fan comes back she will talk to us more about pocket recruitments to make up for the lag towards our final target.

AKL - ?
WKT - 10 thru AC > 9 thru RB
CTB - 16 thru AC > RB later

• WKT and CTB keen w/ pocket recruitments
• MWT C2 starting quite late maybe not so feasible
• WKT and CTB will be promoting internship at learning events
• MWT may be cancelling education learning event
  

WKT / CTB / MWT - no summer recruitment.

8:55 - 9:10: C2 update/prep (MWT | VIC)

VIC - how was promo today and were the newbies all good w/ it?
MWT - promo starting soon, hows prep going?

Also remember that all promotion should be destination based. I was wondering whats the current situation for each LC? Once recruited how will the new members be organised i.e. what PBOX will they be placed in?

• MWT doing fine - arranging posters atm... but LC morale a bit low
  

9:10 - 9:15: WKT | MWT | VIC need to send preferred EP countries

Please reply to the "OGX to do list" email (dated 25 Aug) or if you have the details now can just tell me now :)

9:15 - 9:20: CEED delay (AKL | VIC)

Our CEED is down w/ Jaundice and won't be here till a little later.

9:20 - 9:30: IC update - regarding country partnerships

Once again, we have to push partnership countries - IC updates

• Poland: 30 short term MTs (mktg, finance, business admin)
  
• India: 30 DTs (HIV | CSR | child development)
  
• China: 30 DTs | 30 ETs | 15 MTs (HIV | CSR | teaching English)
  
• Ukraine: has decreased from 30 > 10 EPs. (please push the 'world w/o boarders' project. Project details is in the CSR guideline I sent out earlier)
  

There are other places for DTs that interns can go to such as Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. But we don't have a partnership w/ them i.e. we don't have a promised no. of EPs we'll send to them. On the other hand, if we cannot meet the above country targets then we will be breaching our country partnership contract! So we have to push for these destinations!

• WKT has a lot of EPs wanting to go to Poland for ETs - there are ETs available on myaiesec.net to meet this demand
• AKL and WKT seem to have attracted EPs wanting to go to other countries

The only prob w/ having those random EPs is:

1. We cant meet the no. we promised other countries
2. Its more time consuming to match

Meeting #6 - Aug 25th

AGENDA

1. 8:30 - 8:35: KPI update and Aug target accomplishment

As you guys may probably have read, Yi Fan is quite happy w/ the outcome of C1 w/

In terms of stress level Nick is boardline insame and Ying Fei has turned into Ms. Demanding... lol.

2. 8:35 - 8:45: 2nd cycle update (AKL | WTK | CTB)

Reminder of our C2 raise targets

• AKL: 103
• WKT: 30
• MWT: 18
• VIC: 24
• CTB: 30
  

NB: This is excluding the number that we didn't meet in C1 - which means we have to work extra hard to achieve our final target (we can't change the final target).

It appears that we have some issues w/ our promotion or maybe the way we are targeting promotion, we need to come up w/ a way to tackle this.

Comments:

• The hons part appears to give that impression that its only for hons student or for 3rd year plus - the rationale behind hons means that it is not just the normal OE but something more exceptional, of a higer std
  
• The C2 promo video is better overall (visual / info etc) - the additional bit at the start was particularly attn grabbing
• Issue w/ newbies being confused about AIESEC and OE hons, yet put in the position to sell our products - could possibly have a promo workshop prior to C2 promo (i.e. a 2 hour session on HOW to sell AIESEC must incl brand knowledge and expectation setting) | a mentor system seems good (one senior vs. x no. of newbiews)

3. 8:45 - 8:50: 2nd cycle prep (MWT | VIC)

How is the prep going?
Any issues?

• AKL - AC+RB workshop this coming weekend to prepare SOCP and OCPs (to be finalised)
  
• CSR- 1st and 2nd of Sept
  FA- 1st and 2nd of Sept
  ME- 2nd and 3rd of Sept
  CD- 3rd and 5th of Sept
  EE- 3rd and 5th of Sept
  
• WKT - AC+RB coming week
• CTB - AC tomorrow (Tues 26th) RB date uncertain
• VIC - Massey C1 RB completed today
  

4. 8:50 - 9:05: Matching prep

OGX director provide a the list of:

• EP country preference
• EP job preference
  

NB: With these details it allows Yi Fan to start matching now at IC as well as enabling her to talk with other coutnries in regards to EP partnerships etc.

5. 9:05 - 9:20: NPBOX update

How are the OCPS coping w/ PBOX planning?
Are there any issues that you want us to address?

• Planning tool and NBPOX guidelines proves useful
• Viv will create a survey to be sent to all OCPs and SOCPs to fill in - means of review and also to see what other support/materials they need (incl degree of support, what they need, how they feel etc)
  

6. 8:20 - 9:25: CEED prep (AKL | VIC)

AKL - have you sent email to ask about accommodation for our CEED?
AKL will be emailing out to LC by the end of the week

7. 9:25 - 9:30: IC update

Yi Fan has proposed a new plan - the OGX training to all LCs. It seems that one of the biggest problems in NZ is that LCs lack OGX training, so hopefully Yi Fan's sessions will help NZ.

The main content of the OGX training:

• OGX training - raise, match and realisation
• Country partnership
• OGX director coaching and training

Visits will be between Aug 5th - 12th. The actual date for each LC has not yet been decided but please be prepared to organise a LC meeting when Yi Fan visits.

Meeting #5 - Aug 18th

Agenda

8:30 - 8:40: KPI update and Aug target
8:40 - 8:50: 2nd cycle update
8:50 - 9:05: Goal setting and achieving the ultimate goal by the end of this term
9:05 - 9:20: CEED
9:20 - 9:30: NPBOX tracking document

KPI update and Aug target

• Please remember to fill our the KPI tracking on the NPBOX tracking excel sheet on a weekly basis (maybe before the start of each meeting)
  
• Please upload forms ASAP - only 2 more days till Aug 21st - no forms = Yi Fan will kill us!
  
• Reminder - sign the contract > upload the form > send either internet payment approval or scan payment slip to Viv (sorry we have to revert back to this method, just that Anna's in Brazil and we can't check the account)
• Aug 21st target is 45 EPs!

2nd cycle update

• Ensure that the applications are open - if potential EPs log into the website to apply but the application is not open, then its likely they won't bother trying again!
• Also, if possible, try to do follow up emails to remind those that's on the mailing list when the applications are due - people forget : P
• AKL - last week of 2nd cycle promo, newbiews are bit lost
• WKT - last week of 2nd cycle, was wondering if LC could postpone RB / AC to after midsem break - also considering having pocket recruitment later
  
• MTW - not starting 2nd cycle till Sep 8th (after midsem break)
• VIC - working on 2nd cycle w/virtual promo and PBOX meeting this week
  

Goal setting and achieving the ultimate goal by the end of this term

• The point of a goal is to motivate us to push ourselves. At the moment it seems like we are constantly changing it... sorta like lowering it so that we manage to meet our goal - it is fine in the short run, but we cannot change our end goal for this term. Which means sooner or later we will have to push ourselves...
• So maybe, we should spend some time in coming up w/ new strategies to push promotion and hopefully move closer towards our ultimate goal of the term
• Potentially we could use Learning Events for exchange promotion or holding summer recruitment
• AKL - seems like LE promo not so effective > may be promote to lecturers and get them to promote to their students
• MWT - keen w/ graduate recruiment
• VIC - keen w/ summer recruitment
  
  

CEED 15th - 27th Sep

CEED coming from *drum roll* India - his name is Aditya.

At the moment Yi Fan has allocated him to visit AKL and VIC.
While in VIC he will stay in the MC flat w/ Nick. In AKL we need to arrange accommodation for him.

His task would mainly to help us w/ raising and matching EPs.

To-do for AKL: Please find accommodation : )

NPBOX tracking document

• Sorry about the overload of excel documents, but I will try really hard to limit it to this only one doc for tracking. At the moment, there are four spreadsheets on the file (1) NPBOX details (2) KPI updates (3) Exchange pipeline and (4) Comments
• Once all OCPs have been confirmed then I will be tracking their performance as well : ) so remember to fill in the excel file promptly!
  

1. NPBOX details - please provide name and email of SOCPs / OCPs and EB in charge (I have filled out what I could fill out)

2. KPI update - please update on a weekly basis (OGX directors who missed last week's meeting please fill it in and Nick too : P)
(LB = lecture bash | AP = applications | RB = review board | RA = raised | AV = available)

3. Exchange pipeline - those are the figures I obtained from an earlier spreadsheet, please update if goals have changed.

4. Comments - this is a place for you to provide feedback, namely general comments, improvements to be made and what additional resources / help you would want from us : )

PS: Please keep the excel updated because otherwise we'll be holding LCs accountable for outdated goals : P

Meeting #4 - Aug 13th

Agenda

8.05 - 8.10 KPI update and Aug target
8.10 - 8.25 Smart AC/RB
8.25 - 8.40 Expectation setting list for RB and what are we looking for in Second Cycle
8.40 - 8.50 OGX Summit
8.50 - 9.00 Project Update - Vivian


KPI update and Aug target: LB | Application | RB | RA | Available

• National level: LB ? | AP 16 | RB ? | RA 1 | AV 8
• WKT: LB 10 | AP 2 | RB 3 passed | RA 1 | New 3
• VIC: LB 0 | AP 2 |
  

NB: Our target for cycle 2 Aug 21st was originally 60 EPs but this has been reviewed to 45 EPs because CTB having a bit of trouble w/ meeting first cycle targets.


Smart AC/RB

It is suggested for AC and RB to be run on the same date and allocating one day per project - generally some time is needed to decide if the member will pass AC or not so the suggested method is to run AC the first day without RB and then run RB from the next day on. E.g. if the member pass AC today then pass RB the following day then they will sign the contract and make payment immediately. Remeber to inform members at the beginning that they have to sign the contract and upload their form straight after they pass RB.

GCP: WKT did very well this RB having passed 3 people and signed 3 contracts - they just need to upload their form now.

• AKL - running this during their semester break
• WKT - running this during the weekend (on the last week of uni)
  
• VIC - running it during the weekend

How to make sure your EP sign contract and pay after RB:

1. Once you receive their application from www.aiesec.org.nz email them about the process of selection in detail.

• AC (date and purpose)
• RB (date and purpose)
• Contract and payment need to be signed if you pass RB. You will have a copy of contract after attending AC.

2. Remind them during AC interview, show them JD in IS and AC

3. Right expectation setting in RB

• Which country
• Which project/internship are you interested
• Financial question – how can you fund yourself during internship (airflight, visa)
• How long do you want to go (when start – end)
• Are you ready to sign contract and make the payment after contract (reduce the exception, especially big LC)

Don’t lie to your EP, the less expectation about the quality of internship you set, the better quality they will receive. Remember tell them this is culture experience, we want to push student out of comfort zone.

PS from Yi Fan: *Ok I have mentioned this million time, I am sure you guys know how to set expectation!! * But make sure your whole LC understand it!!

Expectation setting list for RB and what are we looking for in Second Cycle

1. Ready to go – sign contract and pay
2. Ready to run GIV (commit sometime in AIESEC before internship) – explain the reason why – we want student know more about the issues and team working experience in AIESEC – develop your skill because this is O.E (Hons) not just an O.E
3. Attend RTS2 – remember no exception because this is the only way we can ensure our EP go through introduction stage. We have no time to introduce aiesec to them later.
4. Can fund themselves!

NB: Once again, tell your whole LC!!!! include new member | I don't know how but we need to!


OGX Summit

• Potentially Oct 3rd - 5th

Main objective:

1. OGX bonding – we are the coolest team ☺
2. Reward ourselves – after the three months hard work! We have to party hard together!

4. Strategy discussion – OGX in Cycle 3-5 – graduation product, raise EPs for our successor.
