- 2. Drivenby SUCCESS rang FOREWORDS The whole NPC2015 concept is based on the U Theory by Otto Scharmer. There is a blind spot in leadership theory, in the social sciences as well as in our everyday social experience. This blind spot concerns the inner place from which an actionwhat we dooriginates. In the process of conducting our daily business and social lives, we are usually well aware of what we do and what others do; we also have some understanding of the process: how we do things, the processes we and others use when we act. And yet there is a blind spot. If we were to ask the question, Where does our action come from? most of us would be unable to provide an answer. The blind spot concerns the (inner) source from which we operate when we do what we dothe quality of attention that we use to relate to and bring forth the world. Scharmer identified seven archetypal field structures of attention seven gestures linking self and world that map the territory of the blind spot: 1. Downloading: projecting habits of thought. 2. Seeing: precise observation from outside. 3. Sensing: perception from within the field/whole. 4. Presencing: perception from the source/highest future possibility. 5. Crystallizing vision and intent (seeing/acting from the future field.) 6. Prototyping living examples and microcosms (in dialogue with emerging environments.) 7. Institutionalizing the new in practices, routines, and infrastructures. The U-process of presencing also involves three different movements of awareness, or stages: 1. Co-Sensing: opening up to the world outside: becoming one with the world, 2. Co-Inspiring: opening up to a world within: becoming one with ones deepest source of future possibility, and 3. Co-Creating: bringing the emerging future into being. As we travel together the journey of NPC2015, we will be passing through all the fields structures of attention and the three movements in order to better understand the place from AIESEC in India has been operating and redefine the way we do things from the core. With this in mind we aim to plan ahead the year 2016. We are extremely enthusiastic about what NPC2015 promises to be, and even more about what the output and outcome of the conference could be. Yours, rangCM

- 5. Drivenby SUCCESS rang STAGE I: CO-SENSING WELCOME TO THE U Welcoming session to NPC2015 were we will introduce the U- Theory process as well as the journey we will be passing through together. An awesome get to know who we are activity will be also part of the welcoming session. DOWNLOADING PATTERNS FROM THE PAST We will be reviewing the last 10 years of AIESEC in India. For that purpose we will dip deep into the MC plans and reports of the last 10 years in order to answer the question What has been done? and learn from our failures and successes. The idea is to identify enabling and hindering patterns of behavior in our organization. SUSPENDING PARADIGMS Dey will be taking us through a journey of introspection about the way we usually operate and engage with the world, and how can we break the pattern of unawareness in order to open a whole new horizon of possibilities as individuals and as leaders. SEEING WITH FRESH EYES In order to answer the question What have we learned?, we will embark into a process of identifying the facts that came up out of our historical review and mapping the evolving picture of AIESEC in India allowing us to see with fresh eyes where we are and the reasons that have contributed to our current ways of being as organization with the help of our external guests. REDIRECTING ATTENTION This time, Dey will take us through a social experiment that will put into consideration the way we focus our attention and how that affects the way we lead and manage our entities, our teams and our activities. The idea is to evolve the way you as an individual embody the role of the leader and the role of the manager in harmony with your own Self and mapping out individual steps to move ahead into a more productive manner of copying with the responsibilities of your job role. SENSING FROM THE FIELD: This session aims to answer the question What is needed? from the perspective of the different stakeholders we interact with. The presence of Trainees, EPs, TN Takers, and other partners is crucial to get face to face real data on their expectations and perceptions. We will also be having random interviews with LC members via phone calls. Many times we get caught up on our own realities and roles and we forget that the core of the experience is not only for the Global Leader Program at EB and MC level, instead we want to focus on smart auditing all our programs to gather the perception of our different customers to map a more accurate picture of our current capacity to deliver in our promise. 1 2 3 4 5 6
- 6. Drivenby SUCCESS rang STAGE II: CO-INSPIRING LETTING GO OF THE KNOWN This will be a cleansing session. Carefully crafted by our LEAD Partner Dey Dos, the session aim to give us the space to let go of what we dont need, both as individuals and as leaders of our organization in order to move ahead in the process with a clean slate and leaving behind any unnecessary baggage. PRESENCING BY CONNECTING TO SOURCE: In this session each one of us, including the MC, will take a wonderful journey to stillness looking forward to emerge with a clear mind, a humbled heart and a determined will. The introspective character of this session will require of your ability to stay in silence and observe. Its crucial that you bring a digital camera with you and an MP3 with instrumental music. Your mobile phone camera and music player will work as well. Make sure you download some instrumental music that inspires you, we will have a selection of music available for you, but it will be more personal if you bring your own play list. Hey! You can also share your playlist with other delegates previous to the session. Towards the end of the session we will be hosting some open circles to expand our awareness of what has happened to us so far and share truthfully who we are in the process of becoming. LETTING COME THE NEW: Dey once again will be hosting a space for us. This time the character of the space will be more hands on; this meaning pragmatism and practicality at its best. Get ready for some awesome insights into the world of transforming intention into results through well designed and well executed action. 7 8 9
- 7. Drivenby SUCCESS rang STAGE III: CO-CREATING CRYSTALLIZING AMBITION AND INTENTION Emerging from the Stage of Co-Inspiring, we will start climbing up the U by Co-Creating our future together in two phases. In the first block well be taking the first steps into crystallizing refreshed visions and intentions for our organization by dreamlining what the future could be for us when we take a look at it with a very down to earth approach while still dreaming up high with ambition. This stage is very divergent and the idea is to gather as many input as possible. In the second block we will enter into a convergent phase, finding patterns and creating clusters that will then lead us to a final input to enact the vision of the organization we want to see by the end of 2016. ENACTING THE AMBITION A very modern approach to consolidation will be implemented in this session as we aim to consolidate what we have agreed upon so far with the purpose of enacting a clear, simple, compelling and youthful ambition for AIESEC in India by the end of 2016. PROTOTYPING THE NEW SCENARIOS Derived from all previous sessions, we will be mapping out how AIESEC in India will be looking like by the end of 2016 very specifically in all our programs and using the Causal Model of Organizational Performance as our guiding conversational tool. EMBODYING THE NEW SYSTEM In this final session by Dey, he will be hosting us in a journey of embodiment by collectively answering the following questions: What does it mean to embody? How do we embody new habits? How can we as organization embody what we have come up together with? MAPPING THE ROAD OF PERFORMANCE This session aim to close the planning process by allocating responsibilities, making commitments and road-mapping 2016 milestone by milestone. By the end of this session we should have very clear deliverables and accountability measures to ensure we fulfill the ambition and the intention that have been set. LEAVING THE U Closing this amazing journey we will say good bye to what was and say hi to what is yet to come. A space designed to fulfill our here and now needs as individuals and as leaders of AIESEC as well as to ensuring there is a clear and common agreed upon message to share with the rest of the network about what happened in this conference and what the way forward is. 10 11 12 13 14 15
- 8. Drivenby SUCCESS rang FINAL CONSIDERATIONS As you can see in the agenda, we will not be having morning plenaries, evening plenaries or traditional opening/closing plenaries. We will not be having a Chair either for the conference. Your MCP will act as the host of the space in order to keep the process running smooth and focused. Each break is of one hour instead of 30 minutes and each breakfast has been moved down, we want to give you enough time to relax and rest. We want to have your undivided attention to the process since we consider this conferences output/outcome crucial for the future of AIESEC in India. We will keep the agenda on time, we need you to also commit to be on time, however we will not wait for anyone to start the process every day and at every session. We will be having some external guests being part of the process (international trainees, Indian EPs that were never AIESECers, TN takers from different sectors and fields, and leaders from other young organizations. Our LEAD partner Dey will be joining us as well for the duration of the whole conference) your behavior at this conference needs to be at the top of manifesting each one of the six AIESEC values. We expect that as LCP (current or elect) you stay true to the philosophy of the organization and become a role model of what we believe in as organization. After agenda finishes every day, we will be having extremely cool chill out nights with drinks, music and games. Do not expect heavy parties, this conference is design to provide a wonderful environment of intimacy and connection, we would love if you embrace the process and sit with us, chill, have a couple of drinks and share your story. At the end, we want to truly get to know each other and use this conference for that. In order to better prepare for the conference, please read the attached files. They present summaries of the U-Process and will give you a better idea of the underlying structure on top of which the agenda has been designed. In any case we will be giving you clarifications at every stage of the process to ensure the flow is as comfortable as possible in such a new environment for all of us. Quoting Otto Scharmer, The essence of 21st-century leadership is about shifting the fields of collective attention and intention. The leaders work in our age is to shift the fields of attention from egosystem awareness to ecosystem awareness. We attend this way, therefore it emerges that way. We truly want to see the leaders of AIESEC in India at this conference attending with everything they have to offer, so that what emerges as part of our 5 days together comes from a place of belonging and care for what we stand for as individuals and collectively as organization. Looking forward to elevate all together the way in which we make impact in AIESEC in India. Yours, rangCM
