Austria
I. Introduction
In
AIESEC
we
base
many
of
our
activities
in
projects
set
up
for
solving
different
issues
in
society
and
entering
various
market
segments.
In
the
following
pages
you
will
find
information
about
how
you
should
give
/
receive
transition
for
eg.
projects.
At
some
parts
guiding
questions
will
be
put
while
at
other
parts
further
documents
will
be
linked
from
myaiesec.net.
Please
note
that
this
document
provides
a
basic
frame
for
the
transition
not
the
transition
itself!
You
should
also
individually
prepare
for
the
transition
and
of
course
customize
it
where
it
is
needed.
And
keep
in
mind:
Make
sure
your
successor
will
do
an
even
better
term
than
you
did!

II. Transition
c)
Transition
tips
Working
Together
–
you
are
in
this
together.
Both
of
your
attitudes
need
to
be
very
open,
and
willing
to
learn.
This
year
the
process
is
much
more
based
on
passing
over
information,
having
in-‐depth
discussions,
and
then
going
that
extra
step
of
defining
what
needs
to
happen
next
year
together.
Activity
based
-‐
make
it
interactive
and
based
on
the
concept
of
learning
by
doing
as
much
as
possible.
Remember
that
you
learnt
most
through
the
experiences
that
you
had,
so
try
to
make
transition
as
experience
based
as
possible.
Your
elect
will
not
learn
as
much
through
just
sitting
and
talking
as
through
practising
some
of
the
things
you
are
going
over
with
them.
Spread
out
over
longer
time
period
-‐
the
more
crammed
it
is,
the
harder
it
will
be
for
them
to
absorb
all
of
the
information.
Involve
externals
-‐
get
them
thinking
by
chatting
to
some
alumni
about
ideas
for
the
LC,
make
sure
you
go
with
them
on
transition
interviews
with
partners
or
BoA
members
get
them
thinking
about
what
is
happening
in
the
world
and
business
reality
by
talking
to
people
in
business.
You
are
helping
to
plan
for
next
year
-‐
don’t
see
transition
just
as
information
transfer
from
you
to
the
elect.
Use
it
as
an
opportunity
to
work
on
ideas
together,
so
that
you
come
up
with
output
that
you
can
use,
from
your
transition
sessions.
Don’t
get
defensive
-‐
you
are
not
being
judged.
It
is
important
to
admit
mistakes
made
so
that
your
elect
can
learn
from
them
as
you
did.
Your
aim
should
be
to
make
the
next
term
more
successful
than
yours,
it
is
not
a
competition,
so
don’t
treat
it
that
way.
Pass
on
all
materials
–
pass
on
everything
you
can
get
your
hands
on,
and
don’t
keep
files
of
LC
records
and
resources
at
your
house
somewhere.
Stick
to
the
timeline
-‐
ensure
that
you
timeline
the
whole
of
transition
and
stick
to
it
and
don’t
let
it
drag
on
until
after
exams
as
the
chances
of
it
happening
then
will
get
lower
and
lower.
The
transition
should
keep
a
style
of
conversation,
not
lecture,
always
making
sure
that
you
have
already
heard
what
the
elects
expect,
and
that
you
get
ongoing
feedback.
In
addition,
a
good
way
of
tracking
what
the
elects
learn
is
by
making
trick
questions
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
The
transition
should
be
focused
on
facts.
Give
only
valuable
and
necessary
information.
Analyze
the
errors
and
successes
of
the
past,
mark
strong
and
weak
points
of
the
LC,
things
they
could
build
on
or
need
to
correct.
The
dates
and
the
duration
of
the
transition
meetings
should
be
fixed
and
known
in
advance.
The
current
LC
should
be
well
organized,
responsible,
creative,
confident,
in
order
to
encourage
the
elect
LC
to
do
the
same.
Show
the
timeline
of
the
year:
when
does
what
happen?
Distinguish
between
what
is
already
fixed,
and
what
is
left
to
the
new
team
to
fix.
V. Understanding the project concept
a)
What
is
a
project?
“…a
temporary
activity
aimed
to
create
and
provide
a
unique
product
or
service.
Temporary
means
that
every
project
has
a
definite
end.
Unique
means
that
the
product
or
service
is
different
from
other
products
of
services...”
A
project
is
a
collection
of
Whys?,
What’s?
How’s?
Who’s?
&Tracking
Why?
–
are
you
doing
the
project
–
the
strategic
purpose!
What?
–
your
requirements
–
needs
&
wants
in
order
to
realize
your
project!
How?
–
your
plan
–
how
your
going
to
do
it?
how
long
is
it
going
to
take?
how
much
is
it
going
to
cost?
Who?
–
your
team
–
clean
ownership
of
well
defined
tasks
–
trust
your
team
to
do
their
tasks,
trust
but
verify
and
give
timely
feedback.
“If
why,
what,
how
&
who
are
the
4
fingers
on
your
hand
then
TRACKING
is
the
opposable
thumb,
if
your
not
tracking
the
project
then
your
project
is
not
under
control.”

VIII. Year cycle
It
should
be
also
clarified
during
transition
that
how
the
flow
of
the
year
looks
like.
Which
tasks
should
be
executed
at
which
period
how
the
workload
is
varying
at
different
parts
of
the
year.
You
should
draw
a
timeline
and
list
the
different
task
and
events
for
every
months.
Successor
OCP
should
use
this
information
during
project
planning.
IX. Passing accounts and contacts
Continuity
is
essential
in
partnership
management.
Collect
your
main
contacts
and
accounts
(companies,
TN
takers,
supporters,
BoA,
NGO
representatives)
you
managed
in
the
past
and
pass
them
to
your
successor.
Inform
him
/
her
about
the
current
state
of
the
partnerships.
Make
sure
the
contact
person
will
also
know
that
there
is
a
change
in
AIESEC
representative.
You
can
set
up
account
transition
meetings
and
introduce
your
successor
for
your
partners.
You
should
also
document
every
activities
in
the
CRM
system
(i2).
X. On the job coaching
It
is
also
part
of
the
transition
to
work
together
in
the
beginning
with
your
successor.
Have
conversations
about
your
experiences.
Support
your
successor
during
the
planning
of
the
new
project.
Provide
constructive
feedback
for
his
/
her
work
about
project
management,
team
management
etc.
Make
sure
you
are
supportive
and
constructive
and
you
provide
the
space
for
the
new
OCP
to
realize
the
ideas.
