IWFCIM Investment Forum 2024 (IIF2024). 30th April 2024. Profit for Purpose: Measuring Social Impact as a Business Success Make a date with Dr Melati Nungsari, Deputy Dean of Research, Asia School of Business and International Faculty Fellow at MIT. She is an applied microeconomist specializing in industrial organization, public economics, market design, and economic education. Her favourite question is “what can I do that helps solve problems?” (source: South China Morning Post – 15th June 2021). An important question indeed. Dr Melati Nungsari has an amazing track record working on issues impacting the undocumented migrants, refugees, youth unemployment, entrepreneurial challenges especially in understanding how Covid-19 has affected small businesses and roadside hawkers throughout Malaysia. The important question that she encouraged the youth to consider is not only to focus on the managerial tasks, but also to take into account the larger issues of labor rights and social justice, in the whole scheme of things. How can we elevate the social impact to the same pedestal as profit making as a measurement of business success? Such discussion will take center stage in this panel session.

Happy 14th anniversary to FAMIB Group! 🎉 On this special occasion, I want to express my deep gratitude to every loyal collaborator who has contributed to making FAMIB a leader in the IT sector in Mali and beyond. Your dedication and commitment have been the driving force behind our success. Over these 14 years of entrepreneurship in Mali, we’ve experienced highs and lows, but our resilience has been our strength. I congratulate everyone who has been by our side, and I pay tribute to those who have been part of our journey even if they are no longer with us. Proud to have seen over 200 collaborators pass through our company, I remain convinced that, with the blessing of the Almighty, the support of good people, and the commitment of loyal collaborators, we can continue to thrive. My goal is to make FAMIB a sustainable group, a reference for future generations. I hope that our great-grandchildren will sit on the board, reaping the rewards of our hard work.

How do you create principled, transformative leaders? I’ve been pondering this a lot in the revamp of my classes at ASB, because that is our mission. So since my managerial economics class spent some time in Chow Kit on Wednesday, and on Friday, I decided to bring Chow Kit to them. I’m on the Board of Yayasan Chow Kit and we had the pleasure of welcoming its CEO, Ananti Rajasingam, to speak about social issues that the NGO is trying to solve. To be very frank, I thought the class would end up slanting more to “how corporates should help out” (because that’s what my brief was to Ananti 🤣), but the students took it way further and we had a really cool conversation. We spoke about difficulties raising funds, specific success and failure stories, patterns amongst what works, challenges with #humanresources in the organization, and government interventions that sometimes work but sometimes don’t….I thought it went really well. Thanks Ana for coming, and thanks to my students for being so engaged! Separately, I’m loving how “glocal” (global but local) this class is becoming. From Chow Kit to the world - you can learn so much. It’s really hard to take case studies that happened in a very rich country sometime way back when in a context that you don’t really relate to and apply it to Southeast Asia - but when you go and see and learn here, right next door, what you find can change how you view the world.

Hope you will find this teaching case on "Maximizing Social Impact using Lean Management at The Food Bank Singapore" useful. Cheers, and keep well! #socialimpact #lean #casestudy #teaching
