June 2026 | SuSu 2026: Project Management as a force for good: delivering long-term social impact with Mita Broca
In this Presentation, I will talk about how project managers can drive meaningful change beyond business outcomes. The session will take a case study-driven approach, illustrating how project management principles—strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and adaptive execution—were applied in a project to navigate complexity and deliver measurable impact. The project delivered transformative change by improving the lives and livelihood of 1 million women in India. Starting with the background of the case study, I’ll move into the approach and the outcome. Then I’ll zoom into one of the pilots delivered.. which was to train and employ women in a steel welding factory. This was a success story as it broke barriers and most importantly empowered girls and made them financially independent.
Attendees will gain insight into: 1. The Power of Systems Thinking – How to identify key intervention points and create cross-sectoral connections to drive sustainable impact. 2. Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management – Strategies to align corporate, governmental, and community interests while addressing cultural and operational barriers. 3. Measuring & Scaling Social Impact – How to design and track impact metrics that demonstrate value for businesses and communities.
