5. Efficient, mature and well-rounded
Although our LC has one of the smallest member bases, we have continued to realise
double-digit exchange experiences since 2010. As an LC with strong foundations, we are
Efficient
now committed to innovation that is focused on exchange. We recently developed our
talent processes to help scale quality leadership experiences within the LC. This is done
through our internal IM system that allows for transparent tracking and listing of role JDs.
We have one of the highest stable growth rates in exchanges over the years and have
consistently generated results that exceeded expectations. We have assisted AIESEC
Mature
Macquarie in becoming a full-member LC and their excellent results achieved through our
culture speaks for itself. We have a history of excellence in the LC and this expectation is
embedded in our high-performing culture at the member level with few motivation issues.
We believe that our well-rounded LC with developed functions and processes across the
Well-rounded
board represent what an LC of the year is about. We have proven OGX and ICX processes
that generate results, innovative TM implementations, developing social media presence,
brand-aligned website and excellent financial health. Although we are focused on exchange,
we have also held a leadership night and have organised social volunteering over the break.

18. Outgoing exchange excellence
Product development for brand-aligned marketing
As one of our focus areas in 2012 is to increase brand awareness, our marketing has improved
through product development. In Australia, information on the exchange products are very
disperse – information on visa will be in one booklet, testimonials will be inconsistent, projects
are not advertised and information is inconsistent on different communication channels (social
media, website and flyers).
To solve this, we integrated all information (besides visa and policies) for each program in one
location – in our “product guide” so communication is consistent and the product can be
developed over time.

Good case practice in quality intern servicing
UNSW achieved the highest quality intern-servicing in the country. The well-defined roles of
Partnership Delivery Officers (PDOs) enabled fortnightly intern engagement through activities
including intern welcoming dinners, intern birthday celebrations, cultural touring around Sydney
and farewell parties.
Quality intern-servicing is further reflected through intern letters of commendation and over
80% in quality measurement forms (compared to under 50% in 2011).

23. Incoming exchange excellence
Good case practice in sustainable partnership
AIESEC UNSW initiated and ran the very first Regional Corporate Cocktails last September. The
event increased our LCs credibility to partners and led to the development of several warm
accounts. It also acted as a good case practice in partnership development for the nation.
Our existing partnership with Google Australia has improved significantly compared to
2010/2011 with Google completing over 75% of the quality measurement survey forms, with an
overall ranking of ‘C – Satisfied’ for all interns during the period.
Our network within Google has expanded 100% within the period, consisting of upper
management within Google who make intern hiring decisions. Google has since re-raised and
have been kept sustainable with successful transitioning meetings and monthly updates for re-
raise in semester two 2012.
24. Incoming exchange excellence
Professional brand alignment for AIESEC NSW
During August, our LC also hosted the first Regional leadership night, where corporate, social
and entrepreneurial leaders came to speak of their experiences in their respective fields. The
event generated a professional brand since non-members from all NSW LCs attended the event.

28. Member excellence
Innovative tracking for member engagement
Our extensive tracking allows us to monitor and encourage member involvement in the LC. In
discontinuing the use of personal learning plans, we use a talent tracker to monitor the
engagement of members in the LC (where engagements include meetings, events and
conferences).

29. Member excellence
Community experience through LC retreat
Furthering our physical reach, we started a sustainable initiative for the 26th to 28th June where
we will hold an LC retreat in Port Stephens, NSW. There is an attendance rate of over 67% and it
will be a member bonding experience for the LC.
30. Member excellence
Internal talent board to scale leadership
We implemented an internal database of job descriptions in order to scale leadership (and
membership) for our LC for years to come.
The database lists all available roles in our LC, complete with standardised job descriptions, role
types, date available and the contact person to “apply” internally. In the long-term, this will help
retain leadership roles in the LC (currently OCPs do not transition their “successors” which pose a
problem in Australia), provide clear performance tracking and the person in the role with clear
direction and guidance.

OGX pipeline overview for 2012
In 2012, OGX transformed into three teams in order to
implement middle management for manpower
scaling. This entailed breaking down OGX process into:
• Selection and raising (XR)
• Matching and realising (GCDP)
• Professional internships team (GIP)
This allowed our OGX function to have clear
communications with the communications team (CC)
since only one OGX team is involved. This also allows
us to identify bottlenecks in the OGX processes.
Key events in semester two
• EP engagement workshops • Partner with business school marketing to
• UNSW Foundation day event star in video (ASB Pulse)
• UNSW Welcome back day event • Leverage letters of support to improve
• UNSW Volunteers expo event faculty relations
• Virtual info session • Regional alumni night held at UNSW

i. MoS Ra/Ma/Re allocation period
It is noted that the award criteria take into account the hosting agreements for UNSW, UWA and
Monash. The following timeframe for Ra/Ma/Re allocation is presented to highlight the
recognition period for each hosting agreement.
UNSW Macquarie recognised from 1st July 2011 to 30th June 2012
UWA ANU recognised from 1st July 2011 to 30th June 2012
Curtin¹ recognised from 13th January 2012 to 30th June 2012
Monash RMIT recognised from 1st July 2011 to 30th June 2012
1. On 13th January 2012, Curtin became an extension under UWA through the January membership subcommittee. Curtin’s MoS results after this date
are recognised under UWA, and Curtin’s MoS results prior to this date are recognised under Curtin before its disbandment. With reference to
myaiesec.net, 2 EPs are recognised under UWA, whilst the other recognise under Curtin as an LC before disbandment.
40. Appendix
ii. EP realised to raised ratio (Re/Ra) comparison
The realised to raised ratio (Re/Ra) represents the proportion of realisations to raises of EP in
2011. This ratio, multiplied by the 2012 raises provide a fair expectation of the number of
realisations in 2012, which UNSW exceeded.
UNSW is the only full-member LC that met prior year realisation rate with the highest difference
of 5, where the prior year realisation rate is over 50%.
