23. Do you want me to
open the door for you?
You prefer Man of
Steel or 500 days of
Summer?
This is... customer-focused.
24. I know she wants me to
open the door for her and
give her a goodbye kiss on
the forehead.
I know she doesn't like
action movies. She has
the novel 500 days of
summer at home.
This is... customer-centric.
25. Customer-centric is all about
• Putting yourself in customer's shoes
• Create positive experiences for them
26. We need to provide better customer experience because…
31. …because the purpose of this organisation
is to develop leadership.
We have to know what kind of leadership we provide
and how we can improve it!
32. …because 2015 means that we have to
provide quality experiences.

34. Why EPs
• “The best thing about
exchange is to explore your
abilities as in personal as in
professional way and its all
connected with culture,
practise, according LC, other
trainees, local people and
overall your attitude. As
more you will try to do your
best, as more you will get...“
Zane Vilnīte. Latvian,
Intern in The Netherlands
- GIP
35. • “My experience in Cluj-Napoca
was fantastic. More than
causing a positive impact in the
Romanian society was to know
how important is to develop
empathy with a culturally
different people . You are only
able to understand a different
culture when you experience
and live it yourself.”

44. Definition
• Customer Experience Management (CEM)
Managing the interaction of an organization with its
customers at every single possible touch point.
• Customer Centric Behaviour
- Generally, it refers to the behavior of the organization
(employee, policy, system, operations etc.) which always
emphasize on customers’ perspective on the business.
- Constantly seek to understand customers’ need, to
innovate products and services.
45. • Net Promoter Score
A number indicates the loyalty of customers. It
can refers to loyalty towards the org (eg AIESEC),
or a particular product/service (GCDP/ GIP/ TLP/
TMP)
NPS = % Promoter - % Detractor
• Customer Gauge (CG)
CG is one of the NPS management system used to
manage the customer experience for AIESEC
globally.
- Each entity (LC, MC) is assigned with log in,
accessible from LCPs.
46. Types of Customers
Promoter: Customers likely to recommend their experience with
the organization
Passive: Likely not to either recommend or comment bad about
their experience
Detractor: Not likely to recommend their experience
47. Types of Survey
GCDP Matched: EP Matched to TN
GCDP Realized: Upon EP Arrival in hosting entity
GCDP Completed: EP ends their internship
Myaiesec.net & CG will send out survey to EP
Note: Concept of Co-delivery
OGX as the final responsible to EP response in CG
Good quality only happens with both quality ICX
and OGX processes (all 3 surveys)
48. Types of Customers’ Feedback Status
• Open: EP Indicates need of assistance from
AIESEC in the survey.
Perhaps a complaint is raised.
• Progress: AIESEC is in contact with the EP,
and/or sending or hosting entity to resolve EP
concerns.
• Closed: EP concerns are solved
49. Others
• Response Rate
% of EP responded to the customers’ survey
aiesec.net and CG send emails to EP

Before IXPQS/XPP – no standards internationally, so exchange in China might have very different standards than exchange in France or Moldova
AIESEC needed quality standards/procedures that could be adopted and upheld internationally so that reception, send-off, matching etc have the same requirements in ALL AIESEC countries
12-15 page document with 10 sections
There are different types of XPPs – but the ones important to you are the one for EPs and one for Entities. They contain mainly the same information with some differences between them.
I am going to hit on the major points in XPP, but it is really up to you to read the XPP and become familiar with it so that if you do reach a situation in which you need to use it, you can be prepared.
It is a VERY useful document – and you MUST be aware of your own responsibilities as sending LC, as well as EP responsibilities so that you can properly relay this information to them, AND the hosting LC responsibilities so that both you and the EP can be aware of what they have a right to
Many more technicalities here, but it pretty much has the same information
XPP contains further policies regarding these reasons
These are most important (at least to me) because these are the problems that seems to occur most frequently (especially with GCDP TNs)
JP – Explain what is Quality in 2015 context
1 to 6 Digao

Digao
JP
We used to have the mindset of ‘how do we actually measure quality?’’ The measurement was usually ambiguous, and based on our own AIESEC perspectives.
There was no specific criteria to define what’s a good quality, and what not.
