Notas do Editor
- Also serve on the Illinois Commission to Eliminate Poverty, Budgeting For Results Health Team, among others. HRC – CFO - Oversaw operations, which included my first exposure to the wonderful world of State Government procurementDCEO - COS– Spent most of my time working on initiatives within the office of entrepreneurship, innovation and technology, as well as our State energy office (renewables, energy efficiency, and recycling programs) IDPH – COS/COO/CRO – in addition to overseeing day to day operations, charged with developing innovation agenda and management of strategic partnerships
- While at DCEO, my first endeavor working to support social enterprises was with this former men's underwear factory. The Green Exchange is the country’s largest sustainable business community that only houses tenants offering green products and services. designed to house more than one hundred eco-friendly businesses and organizations within a single building, Developers of the building (Baum development),decided to pursue LEED Platinum status for their rehabilitation of this historic landmark/four-story manufacturing facility originally built in 1914. This project was finally realized with support from City and State Govt, related to gap financing assistance, tax breaks, and energy efficiency incentives.
- My second “ah-ha” moment with Social enterprises, was attending a presentation by the Acumen Fund, which the Clean Energy Trust hosted. I took this quote from their website, which sums up the types of entrepreneurs they seek to invest in (patient capital). The ROI is amazing, and their investment strategy should be a model for governments to embrace (i.e. leading to performance based budgeting or BFR).
- In reverse order from the advertisement, here is what I plan to cover today. First, my goal is to create a sense of optimism, that Govt is trending in the right direction towards supporting social enterprises. Then, submit some recommendations related to expanding state government contracting and grant opportunities specifically for SEs. And finally, close with the “business case” for why my current agency is supporting social innovation, entrepreneurship, and enterprise.
- Similar to the Acumen fund…. In the future, The State of IL will be funding “or investing” only in initiatives that can measure their impact on a specific/desired outcome (or social benefit).
- Report to BFR Commission Steering Team on Sep. 2012;Under additional budget strategies (#6 out of 10 recommended budget strategies)
- Access to safe and clean water, economic opportunity, quality healthcare, adequate and safe food, social support network, early education, housing, etc..
- So again, hopefully I’ve raised your level of optimism, that Govt is working to align its future funding, with similar missions embodied by Social enterprises.
- So now that we know State $ will be targeted to making the biggest impact, the next logical step is to ensure the state contracting and granting mechanisms work in concert with this goal. And I believe one of those ways is to encourage state agencies to work specifically with social enterprises.
- There are 3 set aside “buckets,” if you will, which establish goals state agencies must pursue. The first is the Business Enterprise Program. Il agencies must set aside a minimum of 20% of the total $ amount of state contracts (subject to goal) for firms owned by minority, women, and persons with disabilities. LY, state agencies as a whole, nearly doubled that goal.
- And of course there are specific criteria to determine who meets the definition for the purposes of this program.
- The second bucket is the SBSP. Separate from the BEP program, the SBSP mandates that state agencies must “set-aside” specific contracts and portions of larger contracts for small businesses only. Small business are a driver of our economy, so this program is designed to support small business growth through ensuring a Govt marketplace where they can compete.
- And of course, there are specific/defined criteria an IL business must meet in order to qualify for this program.
- Finally, and perhaps the most closely related to Social Enterprises, the Veterans Business Program was created by law to “encourage” state agencies to spend at least 3% of their procurement budgets on certified Veteran Owned businesses.
- (1) Empower state agencies to leverage external resources. IDPH strategic plan (expand partnerships with traditional and non-traditional organizations) – be open to have the conversation and explore mutually beneficial opportunities. (2) entrepreneurship breeds innovation and (3) knowledge is power - spur innovation through increasing the public’s access to information – Businesses will be built around it, and more oftenthan not, for the benefit of society.
- Finally, I wanted to cover the impact Social innovation, entrepreneurship, and enterprise is having on Public Health…but, first, I should probably clarify what Public Health actually is.Differentiating Factor – Population based approach (all 12.2 million residents of IL) Here are 10 categories APHA uses to define Public health. Our agency has nearly 300 programs, which again, I will try to place in 3 buckets with the visual assistance of Hollywood.
- The first, think Contagion. Epidemiological surveillance working to get to the source of infectious/communicable diseases and food borne outbreaks. Disaster preparedness and response from a health perspective. And we also collect and analyze health data, reported from local health departments, hospitals, and birth/death records, looking for adverse health trends in IL, and benchmark that data against other states. This includes tracking leading causes of pre-mature death, chronic disease rates, newborn screenings for genetic disorders, an infant mortality rates.
- For our second bucket, we have a significant regulatory function. We license, permit, monitor, and/or inspect numerous entities across the state. To name a few; all hospital construction and operation, long term care facilities, public swimming pools (water parks, hotels, etc.), plumbing and plumbers, restaurants, schools cafeterias, food and dairy manufacturing facilities, EMTs, and many other areas.
- And finally, we have a strong health promotion and awareness agenda. We educate the public about health and wellness lifestyle choices, getting routine screenings for conditions that are preventable and/or treatable if detected early enough (and even provide those screenings for uninsured that meet certain criteria), issue public health alerts and advisories, and seek interventions to unhealthy behaviors.
- Read slideFor example, Acumen targets products that are affordable to individuals who make less than $4/day.
- I also wanted to provide a few examples of local start-ups that our agency is exploring partnerships with, or have a potential to impact Public Health. I feel each of these could be viewed as “Social Enterprises”The first is Purple Binder; (read slide)GoalsShare data Promote relationship through our websiteIntroduce to sister IL HHS agenciesUtilize community feedback to ensure database remains up-to-date
- The second is a partnership we’re exploring to increase “regulation through prevention” - ConnectFoodSharing of best practices for local food safety, processing and manufacturers. Our Food and Dairy division is very intrigued by this platform’s ability to help educate regulatory compliance issues with the entities we inspect.
- And the final example didn’t start in IL, but the City of Chicago is currently partnering with them on 311 data use, etc..Yelp partnership with San Francisco, restaurants “scores.”
- In closing, I’d like to discuss social responsibility. If you look at the Wikipedia definition, it reads as follows.
- On Monday, most Government offices were closed as we celebrated the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. The man who led the Civil Rights Movement, fighting for civil liberties and social justice. He believed we had a social responsibility to address the racial inequities in the some of those same areas we today view as social determinates of health (built environment, education, access to quality health, poverty, employment, shelter, etc.). In fact, in 1966 he moved into the slums of North Lawndale, right here in Chicago to raise awareness about poverty and housing discrimination. Although this social movement took place before my time, his devotion to social responsibility led to the establishment of the first Govt agency I worked for (HRC), which helps to ensure his legacies of equal rights, diversity, and inclusion live on today.
- Since then, we’ve seen pursuits of social responsibility related to the Environment. Which developed into programs for recycling, and other environmental protections.
- Over the past decade, we’ve seen an dramaticrise in public support for expanding our energy portfolio to develop more sustainable energy resources. Our society has recognized the responsibility we have to move towards more efficient, cleaner, and renewable sources of energy. Fossil fuels not only pose a risk to the environment in most cases, but they are also a scarce resource. The scarcity of theses traditional sources is directly tied to the rise and fall of gas prices, energy dependence on foreign sources, and inefficient energy use. The key differentiating factor here, is the opportunity we have leverage technology and innovation to create new markets for businesses to be built around.
- And now, what's on the horizon??? Only the transformation of a multi-trillion dollar industry, which has been ripe for innovation for years. This will take the creation of new businesses (patient navigation, IT platforms, EHRs, etc.), led by those with a social midset to ensure successful implementation. And therefore, its Government’s responsibility to support social Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Enterprise whenever and wherever it can.
