ROADMAP

BOOKLET
KEY ELEMENTS OF AIESEC 2020
WHY 2020 Roadmap?

WE NEED STRATEGY.
SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT SHOULD WE FOCUS ON
TO ACHIEVE 2020 AMBITION TOGETHER AS ONE
AIESEC.

WE NEED CONTINUITY.
SO THAT WE DON’T BIND OURSELVES ONLY WITH
OUR TERM BUT SEE WHAT IS THE EXPECTED
PROGRESS AND HOW INITIATIVES FIT TOGETHER.
HOW WAS IT CREATED?

Step 1: After IC2015 we collected inputs from the

network on what should we focus on to get to the
2020 ambition (around 10000 AIESECers giving their
input)
Step 2: Consolidated it and asked at MCP Dec
summit how to “strategize” it
Step 3: Based on the strategies hosted a space for
inputs at IPM with MCPs 1517
Step 4: consolidated bigger focuses after IPM,
gathered more feedback
Step 5: improved and made it final with Global
Steering team 1617
HOW DOES THE ROADMAP LOOK
LIKE?
NOT TOO
SPECIFIC:
WE WON’T
PLAN RIGID
STRATEGY
AIESEC is a very dynamic
organization with 1 term shifts, the
pace of change in the world is very
high, so the things are changing too
fast for us to know now in 2016
how exactly to get to 2020.
NOT GIVING
SOLUTIONS, BUT
STATING WHAT
NEEDS TO BE
FIGURED OUT
Using metaphor of driving a car at night: “You can see
only as far as your headlights, but you can make the
whole trip that way.” After completing each step it
would be clearer what should happen next, and we
would be able to plan it together as a global plenary.
IS THE 2020 ROADMAP FIXED?

NO.
EVERY GENERATION WILL CO-
CREATE THEIR NEXT YEAR PLAN
BASED ON WHAT WAS
ACHIEVED AND IF NEXT YEAR’S
FOCUSES STILL MAKE SENSE.
Global conferences and timelines will evolve to achieve the purpose of
planning as ONE AIESEC for every term . Each global conference is
going to be either a roadmap check point or roadmap re-planning.
AIESEC 2020 Roadmap Global
Strategies

Based on all of the inputs we collected and on

different components of organization, putting
it together with external consultancy we were
able to identify 5 key strategies that we need
to work on for AIESEC 2020 globally.
These are the only “non-negotiable”, “fixed”
items of the roadmap which provide us a
framework for global planning.

 AND IT’S ALL
CONNECTED.
All the strategies are interconnected. One thing cannot happen
without the other: if we want to have more flexible AIESEC XP to
shape what we do around what the world needs, become more
accessible and innovate in our business models, our systems and the
way we run programs should evolve, together with the way we
recruit, induct and educate our membership. If we want to become
more accessible, we have to take care of organisational sustainability.
These are just few interconnections, overall all the strategies are
supporting one another in achievement of our ambition.

A2020Roadmap
DOES AI RECOMMEND TO MAKE
OUR OWN ROADMAPS?

NO.
THE PURPOSE OF THE GLOBAL
ROADMAP IS TO MAKE PLANNING
EASIER AND FASTER. CREATING YOUR
OWN ROADMAP WOULD ADD
ANOTHER LAYER OF COMPLEXITY.
Think about the next generations which will have to align it over and
over again after each global planning instead of making things
happen.
As AIESEC, we were able to come together and agree on
the actions we want to take globally to evolve to become
Youth Leadership Movement.
It’s up to all generations of AIESEC 2020 to be able to
keep it together and work on it as one AIESEC, so that
2020 will be a huge success for AIESEC and the world.
