AI 07/08 Planning!
Hey AIESEC! We just wanted to share that we had an amazing planning week this last week. It was a beautiful experience, not only from the Italian sun and scenery, but also the opportunity to learn and grow and vision together, to really come together as a team, (although we CAN NOT WAIT for Martha to join us here in Rotterdam!!! Missing you, dear!)

A big thank you to Gabiza from all lof us for your incredible leadership and for making this retreat possible... as a team we sometimes felt more like we were on a holiday than working, and yet somehow everyday we were so productive and came to really inspiring conclusions!

Here is a snapshot of us at the top of the beautiful Dom of Milan...



And check out the villa we spent the week at (farthest building to the right in this picture):

Busy planning and preparing for our Supervisory Group Meeting this week and looking forward to seeing many of you soon at the transition party this weekend!!!

<3,>

Transition Update
The new team left for planning yesterday! Guess where... Tuscany, Italy! Lucky people. :-) It's the same place where the 06-07 team had their planning. It was one of the best times of the AI year! There will be a post once they are back - on what happened during those 8 days! So stay tuned to that.

The office is a bit empty today with the new team not here - but a lot has happened in the last 2 weeks!

Two big blocks have been completed besides individual transition that has been progressing at a rapid pace:

External Reality

(Ondro was responsible for the block)

AIESEC International would like to say a big thank you to the people who assisted in this block and devoted their bit of time to our transition. The people mentioned below were available on phone to answer questions from the new team and share their perspectives and thoughts around key external issues and trends.
  • Fernando Lanzer
    EVP Leadership & Learning; ABN AMRO

  • Martin Bean
    Worldwide General Manager Education Strategy, Products and Solutions at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, Washington.

  • Sangeeth Varghese
    Founder, www.leadcap.org (LeadCap); Author: Decide to Lead

  • Fernando De Sousa
    General Manager, Emerging Markets (MEA), Microsoft

  • Joshua S. Fouts
    Director, USC Center on Public Diplomacy; Annenberg School for Communication; University of Southern California

Starting the MBA block which included professional skills, IS day and also portfolio transition

Maria was responsible for the professional skills block, Kiko was responsible for the IS Day block – Here’s a short video to describe what happened in these blocks.



Also, the taskforce transition took place earlier this week giving them an overview on how the Task Forces have been working, key learning over the year, achievements, non-achievements, must dos, and the elements covered over the year.

The weather in Rotterdam has been not the best - though it's not surprising. Summer must be around in Europe but certainly not in Rotterdam. You do not see the sun much; the new team is getting used to this. :-)

The famous Irish pub hangout for AIESEC International called “Paddy Murphy's” has been a place for frequent visits as we had a lot of birthdays in the past 3 weeks - Juan, Mairi, Pinar, Rishabh, Aman, JC, Martin (our CEEDer). Also a lot of late evenings have been spent at the pool place chilling out.

Soccer practice is going decent, the weather is spoiling the spirit a bit but still both teams are practicing and undergoing good preparation for the AI transition party.

Keep posting your comments, thoughts and any questions you have for anyone from the new team! We'll make sure they are addressed in the upcoming posts.

Amit,
On Behalf of AIESEC International
