Dear AIESEC network,
Welcome to AIESEC Russia 12-13 generation story.
On this wiki we will share with you what we’ve been through and how we achieved our success in the end. We invite you to live through this story with us.
CONTEXT OF TERM 12-13
AIESEC in Russia was founded in 1989. Since then every year entity has been experiencing significant growth: from 190 exchanges realized in 2007-2008 to 1675 in 2011-2012. In 5 years, entity became almost 10 times bigger. Growth brings new challenges to the Association, requires fundamental changes for the next loop. In 2011-2012, we have launched new financial system and quality standards to ensure every number represents valuable experience. Due to such fundamental changes organization slowed down the pace of growth, resulting in drop in numerical achievements in 2011-2012. Moreover, membership has been challenging the relevance of further growth. You often could hear a question ‘Why do we need to grow?’ from any member in the Association. Moreover, in 2010 AIESEC in Russia got an honor to host 64th International Congress. And for 2 years we have been preparing this enormous event – for the first time in our history AIESEC in Russia will host IC.
VISION AND STRATEGY
In July 2012, starting as Generation 1213 we believed in power of leadership. We strongly believed in impact AIESEC makes on our country. We were dreaming to bring this clarity to our entity and become a Generation of achievers.
We took a stand to prove that those things previous generations were calling ‘impossible’ are possible. We took a stand to make a turning point happen, for AIESEC in Russia, for our country. We took a stand to unite the whole Association around common purpose and belief. Our goal is 8000 leadership development experiences.
AIESEC IN RUSSIA STRATEGY
During the term we have been focused on bringing clarity to the network around WHY we do what we do and embed it into all our operations.
Therefore, we based our strategy on the concept of: ‘Right product – On the right market – In collaboration’ – to ensure this connection of essence and actions.
We choose 2 focus programs (iGCDP, oGCDP) and built our strategy around it.

our society. Each of them has content designed with help of external
expertise, clear interns’ JD, clear timeline, etc.
We made iGCDP the most profitable program in the Association by raising
CSR partnerships. We codeliver our National projects with Global
corporations (Google, Microsoft) and Russian businesses (Alfa-bank,
Sberbank, Rostelecom) with a total amount of sponsorship for 300.000
euro.
We got support for our projects from Ministry of Education, Federal
Agency of Youth. Together we organized conferences to our interns to
introduce them into our country.
We got visa exceptions from the Government for our summer projects.
RESULTS OF THE TERM 12-13

MANAGEMENT
In 1213 we started to do issue-based recruitments in oGCDP. For
it we designed new promotion materials, selection process, etc.
Moreover, we revamped all online communication channels:
launched new web-site (using refreshed brand elements), changed
social media content and increased number of subscribers there
by 120%. Thus resulting in growth of number of applications by
55%.
We opened 4 SUs and grew existing expansions by 50% in oGCDP.

clarity given to me about this, with many people
telling me about their life changing internship
experiences
I am now doing internship in Russia in collabaration

local schools in Tomsk and Motivate children how IT
Technical Field is helpful and builds up their carrier
in future. I will for sure help AIESEC and my self in

TIME EXPERIENCE
Team Leadership in AIESEC always keeps you on your feet, you are always
running and trying to achieve something, just like in real life. for me that is an
incredible adventure. but how i wish there was much more to motivate a person
to work even more personally,the internship changed my life to the best side!
it made me more independent, i put new goals that i need to reach, which i've
never thought about before my internship! and of cause all those friends that i
found there i really love and keep in touch with them! thank you AIESEC
