AIESEC University Live: global perspective on local issues
Today we did have first round of sessions called AIESEC University Live!
The idea is really simple: to run workshops on things related to Critical Cussess Factors and then do real case studies sent by Member and Local Committes.
I was on a workshop on competency based performance appraisal. Yeap, sorry for such a topic.
In general the idea of performance appraisal is to give a external perspective for employee on his performance assessing his skills, reviewing goals and planning development plan. And by competency based we do mean that we assess competencies from Global Competency Model (if you want to find more just go to Global People Development Community) and you will find more :)
That was not really practical but gave a few cool things to thought while implementing it on local level.
And then we had case studies. Actually our local committee submitted 3 case studies (max number per one entity) about mentorship, external event, and allocation of people. The idea was that if there was a person from LC or country which case studies are studied then he should be in that group. And I was called to a group which had a case study on our mentorship implementation.
Actually to tell the truth I didn't expected anything really great from this AIESEC University Live!, but after few minutes listening to people I changed my perception. The main thing is that all those people are really excited about helping AIESEC development by that way and they are really open and trying to understand situation. There was a lot of proposition from their side and a lot of challenging from my side, but I can say that I had a huge amount of ideas and things to pay attention for.
We will have 2 more rounds of AIESEC University Live! and I hope I will be able to participate in a working group dealing with our case studies.
That's all for now. I am heading to dorminotories for country meeting.
