3. Backwards planning & strategy planning
Once you have your Re goals..
How do you come up with the right strategies to
achieve these goals?
…You look at your current backwards plan
(Re, Ma, Ra, Sign Up, No of members but also Ma-Re rate, Ra-Ma rate, Lead-Ra rate,
productivity of members)
And see where the gaps are, so you know where to improve
with strategies..!
4. Session Objectives
I can identify gaps in
my backwards plan to
come up with grounded
strategies for growth
I understand how to
come up with strategic
projects to grow
programs
(involving FO and BO)

✧ Make sure you know these KPI’s!
✧ Some you can find on the current aiesec.net, some you will need to find in your
CRM or ask your LCs for! (eg. # members, meetings/member/month etc)
✧ When you have this data, you will be able to assess where the gaps are based
on actual facts and not assumptions!

✧ You will be able to see how much you will need to increase your KPI’s and if your Re goal is feasible..!
16. SWOT Analysis
✧ Then make also a SWOT analysis of the program based on your insights of the backwards plan
✧ and any additional insights you have about the program in your reality
✧ (eg. Based on external data/research)
17. 1b. Assess KPI’s you want to improve
✧ You know your

For
example:
✧ Quick presentation of growth model(s) if needed
✧ Divide team in sub groups to rotate around programs
to come up with strategic projects for 1415
✧ Give content in terms of goal achievement, SP/IS and timeline
