1. Specific Questions
1. Present your strategy on how to decrease the delivery time and how to increase the realization rate on
Outgoing GCDP in AIESEC Romania for the following term?
Bottlenecks Solutions
 No focus on international partnerships
 Internal audit – analyze processes eliminate
 Lack of implementation bottlenecks and efficient processes.
 I consider that we should start from the
 Lack of supply and demand promotion, induction and education to
ensure EP have the right understanding and
expectation towards TN and GCDP Exchange
 Recruitments set after matching peaks
so they can select and choose TN quickly,
and put great efforts in delivery and
 Wrong expectations set with the EPs
realization.
 We should sign more international
partnerships with country having good
relations with us, building up by MC-MC, and
strengthening our international partnerships
through having some NSTs responsible for
keeping follow-up and delivering our
partnership.
 Also we will make ongoing recruitments
(targeted recruitments) and we will create
national matching campaigns
2. What should be the evolution of Outgoing GCDP? What are the concrete steps you are going to take in
order to reach the performance stated?
No of GCDP
st
Country Students Market From 1 july 2013
Romania ~ 446000 134
Taking into consideration that our exchange GCDP cover 0,03% from students market I consider that we
should have this year a growth of minimum 100%.

2. Segmented Student GCDP Program Diversified Product

3. 3. How will you manage the marketing strategy of AIESEC Romania on Outgoing GCDP taking into
consideration the national recruitments?
 First of all, everybody should understand what’s the key value of GCDP in student market?
International opportunities fitting the mass student market
 Opportunities to go abroad
 Short duration fits the vocation of most universities, and no limitation for academic background,
diversified destination countries to choose
Cross-culture living & working experience
 For students to get involved locally through living with local families, working in local organizations or
working for local social issues. Local culture is extremely experienced through these in-depth localized life
and work.
 Multi-culture environment -most GCDP programs are run by a group of international volunteers from
various countries, displaying multi-culture working and living experiences.
Volunteer opportunities to make changes & positive social impact
 GCDP program is a volunteer experience focusing real-existed social issues with the needs for direct social
impact and sustainable solutions, ran by NGO or local organizations or communities, thus giving students
opportunities to make some impact on others, which aligns with the core value of volunteer experiences.
Personal Development
 Experiences through all these mentioned above could contribute to different personal development, for
example: global mindset, culture sensitivity, wider horizon, changes and development of oneself through
stepping out comfort zone, etc.
 Second of all the marketing strategy that I propose taking into consideration the national recruitments is
Product based.
Global Citizen is an international exchange program for young people that are interested in personal development
and discovering, sharing their culture. It is realized by projects based on cultural education - building tolerance
between nations, developing training skills, entrepreneurship, marketing and increase awareness of burning issues
all over the world like HIV/AIDS, environment & ecology, human rights problems. Volunteers attend for an
internship abroad to act for changing local environment. They can realize their traineeship in a cross cultural living
and working environment in entities like NGOs, universities, schools, kindergartens, or during summer camps.
Why should we continue it’s implementation?
1) Targeting our GCDP product to proper clients
2) Speeding up our processes in OGX in general
 The result of Global Citizen Team work is division Global Citizen program for 3 segments: Management,
Culture & World Issue.

Strong Weakness
 Packaging of the AIESEC experience  Lack of National Projects
 X+L/L+X growth  Few partnerships
 Good relation & communication with the LCs  Returnee Conference cancelled, due low
 Overall growth confirmation rate of returnees
 Functional NST(education cycle for the
members, TTT for the EPs, selection and
induction materials)
2011-2012
Strong Weakness
 Strong communication between VPs & MC VP  National initiatives that couldn’t be applied to
 Tracking system for each task each LC
 National Partnerships  Leisure tracking
 Growth on GCDP
2012-2013
Strong Weakness
 VP meetings  Implementing Global Citizen
 Increasing our numbers  Faulty supply and demand
 Structure of NST  Spring recruitment
 Student awareness on GCDP  Weak implementation of off peak strategy
 Lack in talent capacity for GCDP
 GIP focus
 Internal Recruitment
 Targeted recruitment before the summer peaks (June-July and August–September)
 Project Partnerships

 Promotion of qualitative projects or countries all year round (Campaigns: “Spend your winter/spring break
in…”, Edison –Czech Republic, Myself My World -turkey,
 World Café (Trainees + Returnees)
 Constant update on the blog
 Live from…-EPs that are in exchange make a video talking about what they are experiencing
 LCVPs Outgoing GCDP must be the experts on their area ( knowing the product and capitalizing on every
opportunity from the platform to get new good case practices and education)
5. Present the main bottlenecks that kept AIESEC Romania from achieving the objectives planned on
Outgoing GCDP. What will be the key strategies for each of them, that you are going to implement in order
to achieve the objectives planned?
As I said before, I consider that we should start doing things not only plan them .We should
really act to achieve our potential and I am sure that AIESEC Romania can grow with 100% on
GCDP outgoing this year

5. Bottleneck Possible causes
 They either spent too little time planning or
they went with safe, unrealistic plans.
 Planning: the LCs do not plan for objectives,  Poor transition
nobody has obtained what they planned.  There are no transition procedures, no focus,
the members are not prepared
There is little knowledge about the external
environment
Key Strategies
 Educating the EBs regarding the attention they must pay during planning
 LC consultant to keep track of the current EBs during the transition period
 National assessment
 Have a meeting in my transition period, somewhere in the country where all the gaps in education must
be covered, based on a Needs Assessment done in advance.
Bottleneck Possible causes
There is no exchange culture in the country  Preparation
 Working style of TM + OGX + COMM
Key Strategies
 Emphasis in the NC that the national working model should be adopted by every LC, while every MCVP
makes sure that his VPs are following that model
Bottleneck Possible causes
 Poor quality of the recruitment  No final responsable person in NST for GCDP
recruitments
 Poor supply management
 Lack of alignement between the LCs and the
MC
 We haven’t defined a working model and we
do not work project based
 Poor Website
 Poor online advertizing

6. Key strategies
 Exchange recruitment carried out by two advertizing companies;
 Recruitment campaign planned two months ahead, advertizing materials delivered two months ahead, in
order to help members aknowledge the entire idea of recruitment
 Implementing of Global Citizen Issue based
 Communication member in the NST
 The VP should know what his contribution is
 A solid message and aligned recruitment in the country
 Educating members about what GCDP means
 Simplifying Global mindset and Emotional Intelligence interview guide at a national level
Bottleneck Possible causes
 Low matching process  There hasn’t been any focus on international
partnerships.
 MCVP had focus on both programmes
Key strategies
 Annual partnerships with cool projects, international and local strategical partnerships (NGO’s,
cultural centres, Erasmus, Work and Travel)
 GCDP Induction + national ICPSl + TTT (depending on the timeline )
Bottleneck Possible causes
The VPs haven’t implemented the national directions.  They didn’t not understand their importance
Key strategies
 Creating products with feedback from the VP
 functional meetings
 R&R system each Quarter or Month for the most performant VP (ex: Ra, Ma)
 A more strict tracking on their activity (done by the MC VP or NST)
 A national preparation plan (marketing, promotion, selection, CV screening etc.) so that each VP is
prepared to fulfill every responsibility in the JD
