After one year of implementation of the Culture of Excellence strategy, the Steering Team reviewed the state of implementation as well as looked into defining more clearly what excellence or talent means for AIESEC. The Steering Team reviewed the output of a working group held at IC 2004 in Germany which identified a few general components of a definition of talent for AIESEC, and made recommendations for some additional items to be added to this definition. In addition, the Steering Team used input from a global competency list used by UBS in developing the items below. The initial definition that was used as starting input is below:

The Steering Team felt that the above list of competencies and criteria should be included in selection systems both at entry points for AIESEC for new AIESEC people, but also in selection to leadership roles. The above competencies cut across specific roles or portfolios, in that we should expect people to have them whether they are joining the finance portfolio or the exchange portfolio, whether they are a new member in the HR team, or running for MCP.
