Reconnecting - Q1 MC Team Days

Though it was a while back now, the MC had its first "team days" on the 11-12th October. Yes, we've been pretty busy since then!

Our aim with the team days was to:
  • Reconnect with our year plan - where we are trying to take AIESEC in Pakistan and how far we have come
  • Spend some time together as a team, away from the office
So, over the weekend, we spent a good amount doing so!

The first day was spent reviewing Q1 (July - September 2008), involving:
  • Review of our performance
  • Identifying challenges we faced in the months, our successes and failures
  • Looking at how we work as a team, and how to work better and more effectively
  • Reviewing team image and expectations

We spent the second day looking forward:
  • Setting revised goals for the next quarters
  • Team feedback
  • Identifying areas that each team member wants to improve their knowledge/experience
  • Brainstorming (Experience Pakistan, expansions)
On top of that, we took turns cooking lunch and also had a nice dinner at Baan Thai in Zamzama!

The main output from the weekend was:
  • Our performance as a team in Q1 was not anywhere near what it should have been
  • We need to implement the team processes we suggest (regular process meetings, LC Development meetings, using the office walls)
  • Need better performance tracking on the MC and LC levels

AIESEC in Pakistan's first tax submission!

We received confirmation today that our first tax return has been filed (for the 2006/2007 MC term):
Mariam (our MC finance responsible) was clearly very happy at the momentous occasion. :)

Mmm... ice cream

Wondering what we get up to on Friday afternoons? Saaim and I had a craving for Cafe New Subhani (divine Iranian and Afghani restaurant up the road in Saddar), and happened to pass by the Iceberg ice cream store. We thought "Why not?" and bought a tub of ice cream, which turned out to be delicious.
(Mariam doesn't have a spoon in hand in this photo, but she's still happy from eating it earlier!)
Simple pleasures make the MC happy. :)
