AIESEC Sydney Quarter 1 Report 2013
Picture this. Suppose there is an organisation with:
an annual leadership turnover - where the entire management (from global management all the way down to the local management) is completely changed every year;
over 86 000 university students working 10-40 hours a week voluntarily;
entities in over 113 countries;
each of these 113 countries operate with its own strategies to run very different projects;
an organisational memory of less than 3 years;
and a vision to achieve the "peace and fulfilment of humankind's potential."
Large corporations would call this chaos. But there is an organisation that follows this system - and it
works. It has been growing continuously and remains as the world's largest student-run organisation since
its establishment in 1948. This organisation is called AIESEC (Association Internationale des Etudiants en
Sciences Economiques et Commerciales).
Sixty-five years ago, 7 university students created an organisation to prevent a World War III, with a long-
term mission of achieving the " peace and fulfilment of humankind's potential." But what kind of
organisation makes this kind of promise?
Indeed, there are many challenges in the world today and the world always needs different things. We
believe that the answer to all the world problems is constant and fundamental. We believe the world needs
leadership. In this light, the World Economic Forum in Davos 2013 identified that:
“Significant demographic and societal changes, fundamental technological advances and continuous
globalization, as well as complex multi-stakeholder issues and resource scarcity define this emerging
context. These changing parameters require a new type of leadership.”
The three essentials for this type of leadership in this new contextual world are: business frameworks,
conceptual skills and human skills. AIESEC's volunteering model allows us to develop the kind of needed
leadership through creating experiences for others.
AIESEC expanded into Australia in 1964 - next year marks the 50th anniversary. AIESEC Sydney
(Sydney University) was one of the first Local Committees to be established in Australia in 1964 along with
AIESEC Melbourne (Melbourne University) and AIESEC UNSW (University of New South Wales).
About Us

AIESEC Sydney Quarter 1 Report 2013
It is no secret that we live in interesting times. Start-ups are creating market
value faster than corporations, social interactions are becoming digitised and
information is more accessible than ever before. Students no longer rely on
teachers for answers and top in-demand jobs in 10 years might not exist now.
There are many problems in the world today, and there will be different
challenges tomorrow. I personally believe that the currently emerging generation
of youth is eager to learn more and do more. Many individuals and groups have
already gone out of their way to drive positive change because we realise that
we are responsible for the change we want to see tomorrow. AIESEC is just one
organisation of many that has taken the initiative to lead the change.
AIESEC Sydney has been committed to the developing leadership since its establishment in 1964. Our
results from the last couple of months reveals the hard work that we have put in and I couldn't be happier to
see that there are still plenty of opportunities to grow even further. 2011 was about rapidly expanding our
operations, 2012 was about innovation, and 2013 will be about quality. We plan to achieve this by focusing
on product sustainability, stakeholder engagement and growing our talent capacity. Some of the strategies
and initiatives to achieve this include the implementation of middle management structures, increased inter-
portfolio collaboration, growing a sales culture, providing microexperiences to amplify our engagement and
to collaboration with other organisations. Our progress is on track as we have hit most of our key
performance indicators for the first quarter.
Indeed, all of these plans will never be realised without our most important stakeholders: the members of
AIESEC Sydney. We are unique because our members (staff) are simultaneously our customers (as we
are promising leadership development). I can personally attest to this. This is my third year of AIESEC, and
least I can say is that I have learned a lot by doing. I have learned about business frameworks, world
issues, managing sustainable growth, the importance of innovation, the importance of adaptability to
sustain market relevance , capitalising on my strengths and drawing out the best in others. But at the end of
the day, my biggest learning would be about people - and this ties directly with leadership. Indeed, I still
have a lot to learn, and that is why I am still in AIESEC. I have come to realise that AIESEC is all about the
people: always has been and always will be. But AIESEC does not belong to us, it belongs to the world. I
am extremely thankful for what AIESEC has provided me so far and I am committed to delivering on my
promise to provide these unique experiences to more youth around the world.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of AIESEC Sydney's story.
It has been a very fast quarter and I really look forward to all of the stories we create throughout the year.

President of AIESEC Sydney

AIESEC Sydney Quarter 1 Report 2013
A brief analysis of the students we sent abroad last winter and summer (June 2012 - March 2013) is shown
below. The majority of our participants are in their early years of study and are studying courses in the
Business, Arts, Science or Engineering faculties. Our 2013 strategies aim to diversify this across other
disciplines, especially in the Education faculty - as the majority of our programs are education focussed.
Further, 58% of participants were Domestic students while the remaining 42% were International
students.
Interns
The 88 students we sent abroad were received by local committees in the hosting country to the projects
that they had organised. Conversely, over the period of last winter and summer, we received one intern
from the United Kingdom to undertake a work placement that AIESEC Sydney organised with our
exchange partner Landcare Australia.
Local Committee Members
Towards the end of summer, two successful rounds of recruitment lead to all roles in our Local Committee
to be filled. Additionally, 28 of 58 members are previous exchange participants.

Summary of Achievements
14
AIESEC Sydney Quarter 1 Report 2013
AIESEC Sydney continued to deliver on our promises by providing high quality programs to our
stakeholders, raising awareness on campus, and developing new relations. There has been a recent focus
on measuring results to determine the value and success of strategic investment decisions. We have
looked at innovative and sustainable methods to improve our financial performance to ensure return on
investments are maximised for all stakeholders. Being in a financially healthy position, a Reserve Account
was created to ensure a fiscally strong position of the Local Committee in the long-term. This will enhance
the smooth operation of the LC preventing losses from unforeseen circumstances. AIESEC Sydney has
strengthened its financial position significantly, with major increases in profit margin and net equity. Looking
ahead, by continuing the policies of investment that generate high rates of return, and strategic and
systematic processes, AIESEC Sydney will remain in a position to ensure its sustainability while delivering
all our promises.

AIESEC Sydney Quarter 1 Report 2013
Patrick Papa, team member and exchange experience
B. Arts (Economics, International Relations), 3rd year
I participated in a language education program through AIESEC in the
Czech Republic last summer where I delivered a 5 week, 10 lesson
course based on topics of interest to the local university students.
After the program, I felt such a great sense of accomplishment. I still
can’t believe I lived in a foreign country where I did not speak the
language and survive! But more importantly, I am more confident
about myself and my abilities; I feel like I can do anything, and, as cliché as it may be, I’m only limited by
my imagination. At first I thought AIESEC was just a mere exchange provider. But after being more
involved in AIESEC, and especially after NSW State Conference, I realised that it is an organisation that
really aims to develop the capability of its members, exchange merely being one of these methods.
Davey Wang, leadership and exchange experience
B. Engineering/Commerce, 2nd year
Being part of the executive team of a social enterprise enabled me to
gain crucial experience which I had long anticipated for. As an
aspiring student, I had found myself to be passionate to what
AIESEC had to offer: leadership. Soon after, I became responsible
for the sales and account management portfolio in dealing with
global work placements. Through the organisation, I was also given
the chance to participate in social projects in Ho Chi Minh City, and
attend numerous conferences around Australia. It’s not common that
university students are exposed to these opportunities during their study years. However, through AIESEC,
youth like me around the world are provided the invaluable opportunity to develop and excel in their
chosen work fields.
Arabella Vaughan, team member experience
B. Commerce (Management, Economics), 2nd year
My initial motivation for joining AIESEC was to gain professional experience but now I realise that I have got so much more out of my 6 months in AIESEC than I initially. I have built up an amazing network of people around me, from both USYD and other universities. I’d consider AIESEC to be like my second family. These people are friends, colleagues and inspirations to me; I realised about halfway through my first AIESEC conference that AIESECers are the most inspirational group of people you could possibly surround yourself with. The positive energy, belief and determination in the room changed my understanding of AIESEC for the better: AIESEC is not just an organisation, it’s a way of thinking and behaving that inspires others around you to take action and be the best person they can be.
