JCZ was founded on the philosophy that systems, while well intentioned, have been stagnant for years and that the catalyst needed to disrupt systems to promote better outcomes for our community is supporting system leaders and stakeholders in developing strategies that will produce real results for your community. 

 

The Organization is founded by James Czarniak who has spent the past twenty years working in the non-profit and government sectors.  Most recently he was the Deputy Commissioner for the Onondaga County Department of Children and Family Services overseeing the Child Welfare Division.  Previously James worked as Director of Juvenile Justice for the County, running the juvenile probation department and the local secure detention facility.  Other work experience includes working for the Boys & Girls Clubs in Syracuse and in Greater Washington, DC.  

 

In addition, James is a member of the Annie E Casey Applied Leadership Network, completed certificates in Data Sharing and Multi-System Integration from Georgetown University Public Policy Institute and is trained in Results Based Accountability, Results Based Leadership and Results Based Facilitation.  JCZ Consults also has a team of consultants with vast experience in data analytics, media and communications, and program development and training.  

 

We understand the pressures facing today's leaders and the tremendous responsibility and time it takes to make positive system change and JCZ consults understands every system and leader is different which is why our approach is simple-- listen to you and your team and develop customized services that will help your agency and your system move away from just working hard, but also producing results!
