Dear MCPs current and elect,   Welcome to International President’s meeting. I want you to imagine you are a kid again, and I will tell you a story of my IPMs.   Chapter 1: IPM 2010, Tunisia - “Hi, my name is Rolf” My name is Rolf and I am newly elected MCP of AIESEC in Norway. I have never met AI and don’t understand much what they do. I just voted for a guy called Hugo to be my PAI. He told us a story of allowing ourselves to be kids, to dream, to learn to fail. AI launched the D.R.E.A.M process of creating AIESEC 2015.   Chapter 2: IPM 2011, Mexico - “My final contribution?” I came to IPM in Mexico already decided that I would leave AIESEC after my MCP term. I spent the conference designing the AIESEC Experience that could deliver AIESEC 2015. We designed collaborative programmes which developed responsible and entrepreneurial leadership and which would allow us to grow our physical and virtual reach - we called them GIP, GCDP, TMP and TLP. Tanya was elected PAI. She highlighted the scale we needed to reach to become the AIESEC of 2015.   Chapter 3: IPM 2012, Hungary - “Part of the global team” I have been on AI for 8 months and for sure it was easier to talk about AIESEC 2015 than to lead it. We reconfirmed that Engagement with AIESEC is in order to deliver more ELD experiences and that the AIESEC Way guides how we understand AIESEC 2015 and not the other way around. Florent was elected PAI. He spoke about the clarity of the why of our core beliefs we needed in order to become the organisation we were dreaming of.

Chapter 4: IPM 2013, Serbia - “President of AIESEC International” Did you ever have an out of body experience? Suddenly I found myself running for President of AIESEC International - I mean - who does that? I realised that my belief in AIESEC and the promise of 2015 gave me courage, excitement, and the sense of responsibility to take this step. We launched NPS as a global MoS to focus on the satisfaction of the experiences we were delivering and how it contributes to our growth in impact and scale.   Chapter 5: IPM 2014, Mainland China - “Own our Promise; Break Through Limits” In Mainland China we took the steps needed to finally break through our limits as an organisation. We took the biggest decision of our generation - to own our promise - We will achieve AIESEC 2015 - and 120 entities and AI built a global plan of the experiences we want to deliver - together. It changed the way we run AIESEC. We decided that we stay true to our values and belief and choose to be inspired rather than pressured by our ambition for Big AIESEC. We became Generation 2015.   Welcome to IPM 2014. What is the story you will tell your children about this IPM? This guide is made to prepare you for that journey. Please take the expectations set seriously - it is our chance to lead this global organisation together.   You are invited to Own our Promise and Break through limits Yours, Rolf ps. MCPs bring your piece of rope!

4 years ago, AIESECers just like us came together to dream Big and create an AIESEC capable of truly changing the world. They looked at the best parts of AIESEC and imagined what AIESEC could become if we massively increased our scale of delivering the best of us. Maybe you were there in person, maybe your ideas were taken there by your LCP, maybe you were online participating in the virtual discussions, or maybe you joined after this date. But irrelevant of when you joined the 2015 movement, you are an AIESECer, and you are part of 66 years of culture, belief and ambition which has brought us to this point: GLS 2014 in Mainland of China, where the leaders of the world’s youth leadership provider will build the pathway for AIESEC to be the biggest and best version it has ever been. Welcome to GLS 2014! This GLS we will continue to movement towards 2015 the same way we started it in 2010 – as one network, collaborating together. This will be a space to connect and create, where we will both challenge and trust, where we will learn and teach and where you all have an incredibly important role to play. Like the ancient concept of Yinyang, we rely upon a balance of current and elect to build generation 2015 together.

WELCOME TO GLS 2014

There are four main blocks of GLS: Generation 2015: We will be discussing what 2015 means for AIESEC, for the World and for us as the generation who will deliver it Leading 2015: Through sharing our experiences and learnings we will strengthen our leadership capacity for 2014 and 2015 Our Roadmap: We will enable each entity’s specific contribution to 2014 and plan how to do this together Taking Action: We will find the right strategies we need to achieve our roadmap and make some Big decisions!

Youth  to  Business  Forum:  Top  Leaders  EdiBon  Guangzhou,  Mainland  of  China    February  25,  2014    The  world  is  moving  at  an  unprecedented  pace  and  is  facing  new  challenges  every  day.  From  resource  scarcity  to  poliBcal  crises  to  rising  unemployment  globally,  it  is  clear  we  are  operaBng  in  more  volaBle  social,  poliBcal  and  economic  environments.  Business  as  usual  by  any  type  of  organisaBon  is  unable  to  conBnue  in  this  changing  global  context.  In  order  to  change  the  way  business,  government,  and  private  sector  are  currently  operaBng,  we  need  to  re-­‐think  the  way  our  leaders  are  developed,  the  way  they  lead  and  how  they  act.  Youth  to  Business  Forum  2014:  Top  Leaders  EdiBon  aims  to  tackle  two  very  important  quesBons:  1)  What  characterisBcs  and  competencies  are  needed  by  leaders  in  this  new  global  reality?    2)  How  can  young  people  start  developing  those  characterisBcs  and  competencies  earlier?  Youth  to  Business  Forum  is  the  event  in  which  young  leaders  can  be  brought  together  with  business  and  thought  leaders  to  contribute  their  ideas  to  solving  some  of  the  largest  world  issues.  Leaders  are  invited  to  the  event  to  inspire  our  delegates  with  their  experBse,  engage  with  them  throughout  the  day  and  contribute  to  their  discussions  where  they  will  create  acBons  to  take  forward  in  relaBon  to  the  theme  of  the  day.  

The world is moving at an unprecedented pace and is facing new challenges every day. From resource scarcity to political crises to rising unemployment globally, it is clear we are operating in more volatile social, political and economic environments. Business as usual by any type of organisation is unable to continue in this changing global context. In order to change the way business, government, and private sector are currently operating, we need to re-think the way our leaders are developed, the way they lead and how they act. Youth to Business Forum 2014: Top Leaders Edition aims to tackle two very important questions: 1) What characteristics and competencies are needed by leaders in this new global reality? 2) How can young people start developing those characteristics and competencies earlier? Youth to Business Forum is the event in which young leaders can be brought together with business and thought leaders to contribute their ideas to solving some of the largest world issues. Leaders are invited to the event to inspire our delegates with their expertise, engage with them throughout the day and contribute to their discussions where they will create actions to take forward in relation to the theme of the day. We kindly request for delegates to wear business casual for the event.
