AIESEC in Chandigarh,

Welcome to a time of disruption- the most amazing time ever to be alive. We live in a time when we can only think of two states of the world: one that we desire- a

world which is defined by our dreams and one that we deserve; a world which is defined by our actions. But the ultimate challenge of mankind is to deserve the world that we desire.

Likewise, the ultimate challenge for AIESEC in Chandigarh is the ability to deserve a world

defined by its dreams. It is the ability to deliver AIESEC experiences that will enable us to grow disruptively, enabling us to take the power of LDM to every young individual in the city to

eliminate every inch of pain the world still suffers.

I believe we are privileged and honoured to be able to contribute to this disruptive youth

leadership movement directly through our actions. Our compelling vision for 2020 combined with the power of youth- the power to transform their lives as well as of others will make it

happen for us. But if we don‘t dream big enough amidst this beautiful noise, our actions will quickly outpace

our business model, leaving the organisation lost and directionless.

Our dreams must aim high if we want to grow disruptively. Our dreams will take us everywhere. In 2016, AIESEC in Chandigarh will witness a culture of trust, transparency and openness. It shall witness a culture of learning over education, practise over theory, risk over safety, pull

over push and resilience over strength,

It shall embrace an open community contributing to 2020 with shared intent, belief, resources and risks,

It shall witness an emergent ecosystem that will capture the hearts and minds- imaginations and ambitions of those both inside and most importantly, outside the organisation.

It shall drive innovation, automation and personalization quicker than ever before.

AIESEC in Chandigarh will dream like a child, risk like a fool, scale the imaginable and disrupt itself. My biggest advice to you before you flip the page over:

Never let reality decide who you are and what can be done. Reality is what you make of it.

Let us bend reality in 2016. Let us scale the imaginable.

"If you limit your choices to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself

from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise."

— Robert Fritz

4. Describe the experience of being a part of the Executive Body of AIESEC Chandigarh.

How do you think other members on the team would evaluate your contribution to the

team & LCs organizational direction?

It is a privilege to be on the Executive Board of AIESEC in Chandigarh. You are expected to be

at your best and also implies you to build the best leaders the world has ever seen; winners. My EB experience has been unpredictable and definitely, the most challenging AIESEC

experience till date. I would define it as an experience full of self-introspection and self-

invigoration. I feel honoured to have shared it with the best set of individuals one could have on the team. I won as many times as I failed. I also made sure that I do not leave out any

opportunity missed. Eventually, my teams and each opportunity helped me become a better team-player, a better leader and a better human.

My team would define my contribution as: -Active Learner

-Solution Oriented -Resilient

-High Performer

-Aggressive -Work-Oriented

-Competitive -Strategic Mindset

-Critical -Self-Sustainable

5. What aspect of your Executive Body term could you have significantly improved upon

(personally and as a team)?

-I could have improved upon more innovatory initiatives through the year.

-I could have improved upon adapting myself to the VPTL team in Q1.

-I could have improved upon bringing out the best in every EB member through consistent

feedback.

Talent Retention:

I failed to retain quite a lot of team members in the

department. I also failed to retain some of my TLs. On the contrary, it helped me become a better leader.

Page 9: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

-Personally, I could have managed my examination process in a better way.

6. What are your three basic learnings/values for life, which you have derived through

your AIESEC experience? (Answer objectively)

- Give it your all, each day of the term- stay true to yourself on this.

- Loving what you do or doing what you love is the most important.

- Never limit your thought by reality; you shape your own realities.

Section D | Motivation

1. Why did you decide to run for LCP of AIESEC Chandigarh? What are the qualities

required for this role & what makes you best suited for this role?

I have decided to run for the position of LCP of AIESEC in Chandigarh because I believe it takes

shared belief and shared dreams to achieve a shared vision and pull off a successful

transformation of the organization. I am a strong believer in the power of dreams and I believe

in the power of every young voice and every young dream.

But I am not a usual dreamer. I do believe that in 2016, together we will:

Live the true essence of providing leadership at every stage of interaction with AIESEC,

Feel the pain that still exists in the city and build our agenda to what the city needs,

Be accessible to every young individual in and around the city, regardless of the economic state,

Build a culture of Trust, Transparency and Openness,

Be an entirely data-driven organization- our decisions, our processes and our associations,

Embrace an open environment and let the crowd and community work together on designing

and delivering better experiences,

Associate with the world‘s biggest non-governmental organizations including the United Nations

to activate youth leadership for a sustainable world for future generations to live in.

These are some of my dreams. Imagine 100 more of such dreams painted together on a white

canvas and imagine everything on that canvas be turned into reality.

I believe AIESEC in Chandigarh is ready for disruption.

The qualities best suited for this role are:

1. Visionary: A strong vision for the future is a critical factor for any LCP. A strong vision

would ensure that the organization is prepared to witness the constant change in the future

and yet, stay true to its essence and accelerate.

2. Limitless Mindset: An LCP should not limit his thought by any action in the past or by any

factor associated with reality. An LCP needs to embrace the challenges and obstacles in the

past and the present, yet drive growth without considering any limiting factor.

3. Active Learner: Amidst the rapid digitization, an LCP should be capable of accelerating

growth by using the latest trends and technologies.

4. Agile: An LCP needs to be extremely agile and flexible. Being an LCP is also about

constantly evolving into a better person for the team.

Page 10: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

5. Experience: Some things only come to you by experience. Through the term, an LCP‘s past

experience defines how he/she handles or control things.

I am best suited for this rule because I believe I possess all of the aforementioned qualities.

2. Describe your future short-term and long-term career and personal goals. How do you

expect an LCP term to help you achieve these goals and why now?

Career Goals Personal Goals

Academic or otherwise). Ideally, how much time should an LCP give to his role?

I have final examination for 5th Semester scheduled for December 2015 and then final

examination for 6th Semester for May 2016. Regardless, I shall be fully available for the LC

throughout the year.

Ideally, an LCP should be available 24 hours a day throughout the year for the LC.

4. What are your three most substantial personal accomplishments (non-AIESEC), and why

do you view them as such? Provide a candid assessment of your strengths and

weaknesses.

Model for Calvin Klein Jeans: In 2012, I spent my summer and early autumn as a

Model for CK Jeans in New Delhi. I later came back to the city and did some local photo-

shoots as well as ramp shows.

Learnt Java: Out of sudden curiosity in 2011, I learnt Java language in 2 months and

built 100 advanced level programs under my professor‘s guidance.

Page 11: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

Contribution to UN Youth Gateway for SDGs: In New York this September, I

contributed actively in designing and prototyping the Youth Gateway at the United

Nations MGCY Summit on September 21-22, 2015. It was a 2 day process targeted

towards the tracking, digitizing and downscaling of SDG implementation.

5. Define AIESEC in Chandigarh‘s direction in 2016 in a single phrase or a statement. (Can

be a stand or a vision or a mission statement)

I define it as our Massive Transformative Purpose;

Scaling the Imaginable

6. Describe your leadership style? Explain how your style will be suitable for AIESEC

Chandigarh in its current state.

The below mentioned quotations describe my leadership style in the best way.

―If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a

leader.‖ – John Quincy Adams

―Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or

position.‖ — Brian Tracy

―Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by

results not attributes.‖ — Peter Drucker

My leadership style is defined by:

-Visionary (It helps me to inspire others to reach higher, dream bigger and achieve greater)

-Action-Oriented ("Vision without execution is Hallucination.‖)

-Risk-Taking attitude (Every challenge opens doors to unprecedented opportunities)

-Active Learner (Take every opportunity as it comes to learn, contribute and grow) -Result Oriented (Leadership is defined by results, mere talking does not help)

I believe that the ability to balance multiple leadership attributes will allow me to

lead AIESEC in Chandigarh in multiple dimensions.

7. What power does the role of an LCP carry and how do you intend to wield this after

becoming (the LCP)?

Page 12: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

1. An LCP holds the power to lead the Executive Board and the Membership towards the

LC vision.

2. An LCP, with his Executive Board holds a strong influence over the key decisions and

strategies as well as the organisational culture, structure and other significant aspects of

the local committee.

3. An LCP is the overall responsible for the global, national and local representation of the

local committee in terms of the stakeholder experiences and LC activities.

I intend to wield this power by:

Creating an open ecosystem that fosters Imagination, Growth and Innovation

Creating a culture of Trust, Transparency and Openness

Making AIESEC in Chandigarh loud and relevant in every action, every experience and

every activity

Transforming into a data-driven organisation- decisions, strategies, partnerships and

operations

Leading the movement of Scaling the Imaginable

Section E | LC Administration

1. List down the different aspects of the job role of an LCP.

2. Analyze the trends of the past five years (including 2015) of AIESEC Chandigarh's

Section G | Functions

▪ External Relations

1. Propose key projects for BD in 2016. (Explain briefly)

Project Details Actions

External Partnerships Also a key focus area; 2016 will

witness the greatest association

of AIESEC in Chandigarh with the

biggest and the most aligned

organizations to achieve a shared

vision, shared goals and co-

create and deliver leadership

experiences.

“You become as big as the one

you associate with.”

AIESEC in Chandigarh shall

associate with aligned

organizations including the

United Nations MGCY,

incubators, alumni-run

concerns, other startups and

organizations for exchange

development, monetary

funding, in-kind logistics and

sharing cutting-edge

technologies.

Project and Event

Sales

Sales in 2016 will tailor their

approach through data-driven

meaningful insights on customer

journeys that generate the most

value, customer behavior and

share of influence across stages

of decision making.

Data-analytics driven insights

will help us target high-value

market micro and macro

segments to sell iGCDP

projects and Events.

Community

Engagement

AIESEC in Chandigarh shall

embrace an open community of

alumni, customers, core team

members, stakeholders and like-

minded young individuals.

Building a community to

engage everyone within the

open-sourced intellectual

platform will help us design

products together that would

help us reach as many people

as possible in the fastest way.

This will also help us validate

new ideas and learning,

allowing agility in the processes

with quick implementation.

Board Management 2016 will witness everyone at the

top, working together in full

agreement, to achieve a shared

vision and pull off a successful

transformation of AIESEC in

Chandigarh.

Page 29: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

▪ Talent Management and Learning & Development

1. What is your understanding of the distinction between TM as a function and TM as a

program? Evaluate the performance of both in 2015.

TM as a Function TM as a Program

-Tracking the experience and leadership

journey of every member

-Running RnR Campaigns to boost productivity

-Taking initiatives to boost iXP in the LC

-Understanding and Implementing GL

principles

-Integrated experiences with people on dual

2. Analyze the recruitment conducted this year. What innovations do you propose in the

existing processes to make them even more effective for next year?

In 2016,

-Digital Recruitment Process; Digitizing interactions and engagements with our sign-ups and in-

process applications

Strengths

-August Recruitment

-MB Training

-GIP member productivity

Weaknesses

-Ineffective TopGun

-Ineffective measures for member exits.

-Delay in early recruitment for GC

Opportunities

-Insurgence Campaign

-Recruitment

-Growing iXP culture

Threats

3. Propose key projects for TM and L&D for the year 2016.

Project Actions

Dashboards Dashboard with data analytics and insights into

the development of our members with OKRs,

performance and reviews and feedback/rating

by co-team members.

Deciding Optimal Suitability of Members

for different roles

As per real-time performance metrics of

members, they shall be divided into:

Optimizers: Run large operations at scale

and maximise efficiency

Scalers: Work on proven models and existing

BCPs and further grow them

Evangelists: Innovate and Scale new ideas

and move them from idea stage to

implementation stage

Gamifying Learning and Development Every gamifying initiative will include:

Dynamics: Motivating team behaviour

through scenariois, rules and progression

Mechanics: Help to achieve goals through

teams, internal RnR and feedback

Components: Tracking progress through

real-time metrics (dashboards) and virtual

points.

Gamified Virtual Induction and Training Amidst the progression into a world of Virtual

Reality, transforming into a system of gamified

virtual training and induction with integrated

scenarios will prove to be a powerful tool in

learning and skill development.

Page 31: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

This will particularly eradicate the problem of

lack of education in operations and functions.

―Human beings are wired to compete; Gaming is not just what young people do but it defines

who they are.‖

―Gamification should empower people, it should feel good at the end of the day because you

made progress towards something that mattered to you.‖

4. How do you see LDM contributing to 2016 and customer experiences? Propose a model

for the same.

One of the key focus areas for next year shall be proving conscious leadership

experiences at every stage of interaction with AIESEC.

Any customer who interacts with AIESEC during EwA stage, ELD stage or during the

Community stage should be able to experience and breathe the power of LDM.

What? How? Why?

Short-term

AIESEC

Experiences

• To step into a world of disruption and

impacting 3,500 people by 2020 and

recruiting TMP twice a year is not

enough.

• If AIESEC needs to become a loud and

relevant leadership movement in the

city and grow disruptively through the

power of LDM, let us be open to the

idea of letting like-minded young

individuals experience leadership

through an OC experience or specific

projects.

1. More young individuals can

experience the power of

LDM

2. Expansive Community in

terms of Brand Advocates

3. Leverage on external talent;

enables (un)learning and

adaptability

4. Increased Loyalty towards

AIESEC; Opportunity to

reintegrate these people

Culture of iXP • LDM integration and realisation in the

lives of our members will be stronger if

they experience the product that they

largely advocate and sell.

1. Stronger belief in LDM and

thus, our products

2. Huge opportunity for Cultural

Acceptance, Product

Revamping as per externalities,

Maximise Value Capture and

Collaborative growth.

3. Will open doors for

maximising IR.

Page 32: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

Conscious

Leadership

Development

• Making LDM a conscious leadership

development in the minds of our

customers is important. OPS and RIS

for EPs and real time growth and

learning metrics through Dashboard

should make members realise how

they are undergoing a conscious LDM

journey.

1. Members will be able to

realise, narrate and share the

story of LDM.

2. LDM will have a stronger

impact on EPs before they start

their experience and will help

us close their experiences

making them realise of the

conscious leadership

development that they had

undergone.

3. Ensure life-long belief and

relationship as well as brand

affinity.

▪ Marketing

1.What emphasis does Marketing as a function hold currently for AIESEC in Chandigarh?

Critically analyze the same. Also evaluate its contribution to growth in all ELD programs,

including Global Leaders Program.

-Products (Global Talent, Global Citizen & Global Leaders) | Brand building for the Products

-Places (Universities, Colleges, Organizations, NGOs etc.) | Brand positioning across the

institutions

-Promotion (Social Media, Digital Media, On-ground, Email)

-Price (Cost of forms, Cost of internships)

2. How should Marketing evolve in the LC in 2016? How do you see it contributing to ELD

programs in 2016?

Page 33: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

Facts-

The world has over a trillion hours a year of free time to commit to shared projects. By 2020,

the number of hours will triple.

Word-of-mouth recommendations from peers affect 92% buying decisions

▪ Communication & Information Management

1. What are the various spheres in the LC in which Communication & Information

Management plays a huge role or can a play a huge role? Propose innovations for all of

the spheres.

Gamifying Customer Engagement-

Foster compelling interactions

•Digitizing (Simplify and Automate) every possible interaction with the customers

•This will help us give potential customers a platform to design and personalize our products, also revealing features and functionality of our products.

•The platform shall also engage them through online activities and campaigns therby, creating firm and engaging experiences to convert users into loyal customers.

•Ultimate Aim- Getting quality leads of organisations and students that look forward to engage with AIESEC.

•Continuous testing approach- Validating assumptions around the new campaigns

Crowdsourcing through our Community-

Connecting with others to create value

•2016 will witness an interconnected network of our core team members, alumni, partners and stakeholders and every like-minded young individual on a single platform.

•We will leverage 'cognitive surplus' of our community for idea generation, content creation, designing, funding, marketing or create any additional functionality for our products.

•It will create a wide scope for peripheral innovation as numerous people will be working together as well as create a rich knowledge base of answered questions that will drive product insights and improve customer satisfaction.

Peer to Peer Marketing-

Creating a massive Brand Reach

•Build a long term association with existing customers by making them brand advocates and leveraging their hyper-connected network to increase our brand reach.

•We will create high quality content that resonates with people and is worth sharing in like-minded networks.

•Advocates will recommend our products, share our brand content on their social media with healthy reviews.

•Ultimate Aim- Delivering the best consumer experiences to retain the brand affinity and association our customers develop.

Page 34: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

2. Comment on how you envision the role of Information Systems in the functioning and

administration of the local committee in 2016

Externally-driven IT

Leverage external communities (developers and designers) and

parternships with startups for new products (applications), internal services

and open-platforms.

Business Intelligence

Data Management system that will use defined proccesses and technologies to transform raw data into more strategic,

tactical and operation insights that could foster data-driven decision

making.

Page 35: Manifesto - Praneet Singh

Section H | Blank Page Challenge

In 2016, Data Analytics will help drive personalisation and automation quicker than ever.

Tailoring our approach by turning data outputs into useful insights on:

-Customer's multichannel behaviour

-Customer journeys that generate the most value

-High value microsegments of our market

-Share of influence in decision making

-Customer Impact to prioritise where to invest

Algorithms will allow us to offer customers recommended products backed by analytics based insights resulting in compressing timelines and eliminating inefficency.

Data-Analytics

In 2016, real time value and growth metrics of each team and each individual, will be tracked, gathered and analysed, helping us measure the learning capability of the organisation

This will help us monitor metrics actively and align incentive, creating a culture of transparency and continuous learning.

It wil track and measure everything ranging from ideas in an internal conversation to every sales deal and every marketing campaign and operational activity.

Transparency will ensure all stakeholders to better deliver and achieve performance goals.

Objectives and Key Results will encourage disciplined thinking as well as focus efforts.

Dashboards

Tracking Experimentation from Learning Dashboards

•How many experiments did TM/Marketing/Sales/Operations run during the previous week?

•How many innovative ideas have been collected this month? How many could be implemented?

•What percentage of total revenue of a department is driven by new products resulting from innovations in the last 3 months?
