Why should a company invest in Businesses Connected Event?

You’re investing in your own company! This event may be a small & short investment, but for the company itself it’s a long-term investment in its pool of young human resource. A lot of companies find it difficult in these fast-changing times to hold on to employees, which is why there’s a great deal of competition between businesses when it comes to talented employees. What AIESEC offers is the opportunity for the company to develop their young employees and at the same time ensure them a pleasant environment in which to share their own perspectives.

Efficiency in every way!

AIESEC in Latvia is taking care of all logistical matters, as well as, provide education and networking opportunities by approaching interesting topics, creating a frame of debates upon now-days issues and arranging a networking environment for all participants to connect and share ideas, enlarge their network of contacts and get new perspectives.

Work with an experienced association! For over 60 years, AIESEC- as the largest youth association- has been constantly looking to develop new ideas and improve our organizational development & performance by aligning society’s needs with our resources, potential and values!

Propositions for session topics:

- Based upon ‘Systems Thinking’

Systems Thinking has been defined as an approach to problem solving, by viewing "problems" as parts of an overall system, rather than reacting to specific part, outcomes or events and potentially contributing to further development of unintended consequences.

- Based upon ‘NLP’ (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

NLP is a pragmatic school of thought - an 'epistemology' - that addresses the many levels involved in being human. NLP is a multi-dimensional process that involves the development of behavioral competence and flexibility, but also involves strategic thinking and an understanding of the mental and cognitive processes behind behavior. NLP is about self-discovery, exploring identity and mission. It also provides a framework for understanding and relating to the 'spiritual' part of human experience that reaches beyond us as individuals to our family, community and global systems.

- Based upon the ‘Work-Life Balance’ Concept

Work–life balance is a broad concept including proper prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition) on one hand and "life" (Health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development) on the other.

Topic propositions for Debates, Round tables / Panel Discussion

- Facing exponential times

Nowadays, the rate of change is accelerating: dynamics of societies, economies, relationships, business, and even knowledge are continuously and rapidly transforming. Therefore, what should be analyzed is not whether it is actually occurring or not, but what to do to face it.

- Economic development in a Dynamic World

When studying the dynamics of the economy as a concatenation of events, different economic models appear in order to describe the actual scenarios. Even though the macroeconomic and business structures interact with their economic context, we should analyze these independently to be able to understand the effect they have on their fields. Is long-term planning possible in this new business scenario?

- Building Tomorrow’s Education, Transforming the Educational Model

The concept of education is defined as "learning at any stage of life, both at school and in everyday life”. We live surrounded by people who shape us through their actions, therefore, we can conclude that education is affected by society. At the same time, this one is constantly changing because of the new technologies, adapting faster each time. Hence, is education also modified? And if not, should it be?

- Positioning strategies for sustainable development in society

The concept of CSR is no longer a pioneer concept. A variety of stakeholders are now actively involved in the debate about CSR, business responsibility and the wider question of positioning business and its role and responsibilities in relation to other actors, such as the state and civil society.

- Academic qualification ensures success in life?

Academic qualifications are commonly felt to give a person the best chance of success in life. How far is this true?

- Threats in business

In today's post-downturn economy, a variety of business risks have emerged - and some have become more prominent. Risks in Regulation and compliance, Access to credit, Slow recovery or double-dip recession, Managing talent, Emerging Markets, Cost-cutting etc.
