DEVELOPING IMPACTFUL PROCESSES THAT UNLOCK HUMAN POTENTIAL

BJNC is a social enterprise organization with expertise in designing systems and processes that lead to significant client results. Our expertise has been focused on helping ``High risk`` clients from both social and health services become and remain employable. We have succeeded because we have integrated outside expertise with our own to deliver a shared, meaningful outcome. Now we want to expand our expertise in processes to create a meaningful project in the green field that will provide jobs and sustainability for local communities. Stay tuned for more updates or reach out to us.

Innovations

Brenda Northey, M.B.A. is a social entrepreneur  who has challenged the status quo.   She was one of the first Executive Directors to implement a hub concept for homeless single mothers enabling them and their children to be educated using a “boarding school” concept. All necessary services at one site using an outcome-driven process.     The concept of “wrap around” services was something she pioneered in two different agencies with success.    With her last Hub she integrated over 14 outside agencies within one operational process.    She is the author of the guided journal, “Operation Who Am I” for military members transitioning to civilian life.  She has recently spent time working with veterans with mental health issues. Now, she is creating an exciting new project that will integrate green goals with economic development and employment.

Services

I have enough front-line and strategic experience to know what types of processes and programs will work, but I recognize that municipal governments must be the leaders if any change or new initiative is to be sustainable.

Hence, I am focused on helping municipal governments develop a community framework to reduce waste and save costs while increasing jobs and community well-being.

In Stages or Separate

Audits and assessments of current waste situation to provide baseline for corporations and organizations.

Work with small to mid-size municipalities to develop a community social services  plan that will begin to reduce costs, duplication and yet achieve higher client results.

Showcase a complete hub integrating all the services needed to create meaningful new employment opportunities in an emerging green sector .+

Outcome-driven contracts with the three-pronged approach of reducing costs, creating meaningful work environments and improving social well-being
