1)Preparation
A) SETTING OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS

Fix an informal meeting EBc with EBe.

Following questions can help you in creation of objectives from EBc for transition:
- Which are the goals for our transition to elects? (Remember that goals have to be SMART!)
(Examples: enable elects team to build their team, leave 100% of our networking contacts to the elects)
- Which are the messages we want to deliver with our transition? How can I support messages with my activities?
(Ex.: if the main message “improve TM processes”, we deliver sessions related to the topic)
- What do we think our elects need in order to be 100% performing next year?
(you can have a checklist and make sure you go through all the points during transition)
- Remember last year transition: what was good what needs to be improved?

Following questions can help you in creation of needs/expectations from EBe for transition:
- What are your 3 main expectations towards transition?
- If you had to start your term tomorrow, what do you feel you are missing ?
- What worries you the most about your EB/LCP term?
- What do you expect from EB current during transition?
- Which attitude do you think EB elect should show during transition?
- Brainstorm on all what you would like to receive from transition. It can be about knowledge (ex: training on
Exchange Processes), Skills (ex: how to use photoshop), Team building exercise, specific Information (ex:
business cards of previous contacts)

1)Preparation
B) CREATING TIME-LINE OF TRANSITION
Make sure that you build up the whole transition period according to EBc objectives and EBe
expectations/needs. Plan series of activities and events to be done, who is responsible for it. Identify delivery
methods, keeping in mind different learning styles of people, how it's better to deliver information to them.

Apart from objectives and expectations, you can use weekly priorities document, you were using during the
year in EB team in order to get an overview of the term, which activities took you more time etc.

C) ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Make second EBc/EBe get to know each other meeting in which currents present the flow of agenda and
currents and elects together discuss their roles and responsibilities. Examples:

Role of elects:
- Prepare questions, be proactive
- Prepare and read material provided by the currents
- Provide feedback for the transition process to
improve it
- Be available to attend all the sessions of transition

1)Preparation

1)Transition Weekend
This agenda is tailored for 2 full days of work. The idea of doing a " transition" weekend is a way to go
deeper on the discussions and to give an occasion to EB current and elect to get to know each other
The content of transition
deeper. So, the suggestion is to have a sort of "transition conference" in a site which is not the University
Weekend
itself (it can be someone house also), so that both Ebs will focus 100% on the transition and will not
have other priorities.
The agenda consists of different blocks: each of them have specific goal. From session to session EB
member has a chance to reflect on AIESEC role in his life, in the world and in his local reality.
The blocks of the Explanation of the year flow, synergies, current state of LC, it's strengths and weaknesses is a basis,
agenda which is necessary for EB elect to shape future vision of LC in next term, create their ambition.
Moreover, "Being EB Member" block will ensure smooth work of EB Team with each other and within the
LC.
The EB current is responsible to organize the transition (and, the transition weekend) for the EB elect.
However, they should take into consideration that they need to focus on elects learning, so the sessions
Delivery of the sessions
have to be prepared in order not to be only "storytelling" from EB current to Eb elect, In order to prepare
and deliver the trainings, you can involve a certified trainer in your LC.
In order to create and deliver the sessions, is it absolutely necessary for EB current to sit down and

discuss which messages are needed to pass to the elects and which behavior you want to have with

elects in order to be perceived as role models
Is transition weekend enough as "transition"?
No! Transition Weekend should ideally be the starting point of the transition, After that, you still have to
deliver functional transition and to practically involve elect teams into the EB activities (see transition wiki
for it!
FAQs What if we do not have 2 full days?
Pity! But, you can prioritize to do one block "conference style" and another block split in two weekly
meeting, but consider that the way that blocks are built follows a certain logic. For this reason, it is
advisable not to skip any of those sessions and respect timings given for each of them (you cannot
"squeeze" one block in 2 hours meeting.

4) VP2VP: Accounts Transition
A) ACCOUNT TRANSITION
Organize meetings for the whole EB team elect to get to know:
- Partners
- Alumni
- BoA
- Dean/professor

Introduce points of current and possible future cooperation.
Collect feedback on LC activities.

Pass to EBe all databases, personal contacts, passwords/logins to different external resources used by LC.

B) MEETING DEAN/PROFESSOR
It is very important to take care of the University where you are placed in at the same level as you take care of the other stakeholders, such as
students or companies.

If you leverage on your Dean/Professors relations, University can become a TN -taker, can support financially your projects and can boost
your external positioning amongst students.

So, transition is a moment to use to take the best out of your University!!!

What to do?
1) LCP current should fix a meeting with the Dean and with those professors that are currently cooperating with AIESEC.
2) LCP current and elects should be the first to attend the meeting, but it would be also nice to bring some other EB elects according to your
needs and decisions.

What to bring?
Your business cards and a report of the activities you have been running this year. The report should be very specific and touch mostly
these points:
- number of students of the University that are taking part in projects/activities of AIESEC
- number of students of the University that are living a Leadership Experience thanks to AIESEC
-number of students of the University that are living/have lived Exchange Experience thanks to AIESEC
- Project (description, goals achieved, who was involved)
- Events or activities realized inside the University.
Keep it short and simple but make it fancy, adding pictures and press releases if you have them.
Keep in mind that the DEAN/the Professors should see the benefit of having AIESEC inside their University in a very evident way through
this report.

B) MEETING DEAN/PROFESSOR
What to ask?
Here is a checklist of relevant questions you might ask to your DEAN/Professor
-How do you evaluate the work AIESEC has done in the University this year?
-How could we improve our work next year?
-What do you expect from our Local Committee next year?
-Which kind of projects related to Internationalism/International mobility will the University run next year? How can AIESEC support those
initiatives?
-Which kind of support do you wish to give to student organizations?
-Is the university developing any research/project about any global issue? Would you like to have AIESEC making also a project around
this issue inside the University?

Once you got all this info, you are sure you can plan activities and projects that will be supported by the University!

Before to leave do not forget to expand your network! Ask your Dean/Professors the contacts of some other Professors/University
responsible which is not currently working with you but that might be interested in supporting/promoting our activities!!!

C) MEETING BoA
Boards of Advisors are a very useful resource: these people are aware of the external reality of your city, have a
huge network of contacts and most of all…they like AIESEC!!!

What to do?
LCP current should organize a meeting with Board of Advisors, specifying which points you want to discuss during the
meeting and if you need some specific contribution/preparation to be done by them
All EB current and elect should attend the meeting!

What to discuss ?
Prepare your business cards and a report of the activities you have been running this year.
Outline very clearly which were the main difficulties currents have faced (ex: MT TN raising, sustainability of project…) and
address to them questions especially around what can improved.

You should also report on your planning VS your goals (ex: we planned to raise 3 new partners but we raised 1), outlining
main strength and weaknesses of your LC.

C) MEETING BoA
What to ask?
Here is a checklist of relevant questions you might ask to your Board of Advisors :
-How do you evaluate the work AIESEC has done this year?
-How could we improve our work next year?
-Which economics trends will affect our city next year?
-Which kind of companies/field of companies could be more interested in raising international internships?
-Which kind of organization invest more in sponsorship to students?
-Which organization would financially support a social project run by AIESEC?
-Which global issues are more relevant in our city?
(you can add or modify those questions based on your needs!)

And do not forget lo leverage on you BoA network !
If the BoA suggest you the names of an organization, ask them to provide you the contacts you can address too and
an endorsement in order to make it easier to get in touch!

5) VP2VP: Learn-By-Doing
"LEARNING BY DOING" principle will help you to ensure that EBe has not only knowledge, but also competencies and skills required for the
position. By giving EBe practical activities to do EBc can see current GAPs and track the progress of transition, giving additional education if
needed.

First of all, make a meeting with EBc in order to agree on the activities in which EB elect will be involved. Make sure that everyone understand
roles of each of VPe and is able to support synergies between VPe during execution of their tasks.

Make sure that practical activities fit logic of transition in general.
Examples of activities:
- VP TM is preparing LIS (Local Induction Seminar)
- VP OGX is OCP of Pocket Recruitment
- VP ER is OCP of Annual Report Event (Partner Group Meeting)
- VP ICX is responsible for TN raising
- VP F is making quater report
- VP Com (PR/IM) is OCP of Recruitment/Preparing design for recruitment materials/Annual Report

Provide coaching to EBe on their work, review results, give feedback, track and be open for feedback too.

Help your successors to start to REALIZE THEIR VISION for next term.

Observe behaviour of EBe, give feedback to help them to form RIGHT APPROACH TO WORK.
