Milk Quality Tracking and Tracing System as a Basis for Quality Based Milk Payment System
In Kenya, raw milk safety has been disputed over a decade but no documented data exists.
Greatest milk quality challenge for the CBE’s are proper ways to maintain cold collection.
The regulatory institutions are constrained financially hence raw milk quality standards are reluctantly applied and enforced.
This creates a vacuum for farmers to switch between buyers of raw milk specially due to quality issues.

Here's the presentation I delivered at ICEEfest 2016 in Bucharest. The rush for scale in the past few years is diminishing everything we know about user value. Instead of building a better, deeper relationship with out users, we've turned them into anonymous numbers, distilled down to page views. And when advertisers wanted more views at a lower price, we created more. And we wonder why newsrooms are dying.

Creative director LBI Digital
As Chief Creative Officer at DigitasLBi International, Chris Clarke is responsible for the creative output of the network and its creative staff. Chris loves to stay close to the work, developing creative ideas with teams across the network for clients including Coca Cola, Sony Xperia and Etihad. Believability is his creative religion: he is permanently on a mission to bridge the gap between promise and proof for DigitasLBi’s clients, helping them to be true to the principles they espouse.
Like most people who’ve been doing this for a while, Chris stumbled into the digital industry in the late 90s. As a copywriter, he made it his mission to bring the craft of ideas to digital marketing, an ambition realised at pioneering Swedish digital advertising agency Abel & Baker and later at Wheel where he became Executive Creative Director. He was subsequently European Executive Creative Director at Modem Media, President and Executive Creative Director of Digitas UK and Chief Creative Officer of LBi.
Over the years, Chris has become a regular on the speaking circuit and has picked up awards at Cannes, D&AD, LIA, Campaign Digital, Campaign Direct, Revolution, BIMA and the Webbys.
Talk:
For years the internet has been touted as an almost universal force for good. We hear of the “democratising” nature of a platform dedicated to openness and transparency. We have come to see the web as a place where ‘The Consumer is in Control”, and where information wants to be free. In this session, Chris will explore the darker side of the digital revolution, looking at the “winner takes all” business models, and downward pressure on quality caused by ad funded content. By understanding the dark side of the digital revolution, you will be better prepared to help your organisation stay relevant and fit for the digital future.
My recent presentation on building magazine audiences in this data-driven era was showcased in the latest edition of The New Single Copy.
I discuss the concept of collaborative industry data, dynamic third party data, predictive modeling and using data to target hyper-niche audience segments.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.

Putting the customer at the centre of
storytelling, distribution and revenue
Sarajevo, May 2017
2. • Newsroom digital transformation
consultant
• Specialist in editorial strategy,
operations, change management
• Career journalist
• Radio, TV, newswires,
magazines, online
• ONA Singapore co-founder
About me.
3. Our mission
To help editorial newsrooms
shift from traditional
publishing models to building
sustainable, digital-first
organizations.
7. Expand your mind, change your world.
Gets you talking.
Our lives, our paper.
The paper for the people.
The world’s greatest newspaper.
All the news that’s fit to print.
When The Times speaks, the World listens.
Sunday isn't Sunday without the Sunday Times.
Bild. Read the world's fastest newspaper.
Making twice the noise.
Simpler. Better. Smarter.
Your right to know.
It's thinking time.
We are local news.
Our slogans.
8. What’s the role of media today?
Why do people
read/watch/listen to you?
9. What’s the role of media today?
Why do people
read/watch/listen to you?
What do people need that only you can
provide?
10. What’s the role of media today?
Why do people
read/watch/listen to you?
What do people need that only you can
provide?
Would people notice if you weren’t
around tomorrow?
13. Everyone can tell you what they do.
But not many can tell you why.
What we do
We give you breaking news.
How we do it
We have journalists on the ground 24/7.
Why we do it
…
25. Here’s the problem:
Scarcity no longer exists in media.
1. Content is commoditized. Plenty to read.
2. Ad delivery is commoditized. Plenty to show.
Your audience is spending less time on
news content.
26. “The scarcest resource of
the 21st century is human
attention.”
— Les Hinton
Former publisher of WSJ
27. The average attention span today is 8
seconds (a 33% decline since 2000)
(Btw, a goldfish has 9 seconds of
attention)
17% of page views last less than 4
seconds
49% of people read less than 111
words on a web page
28. How far can we push this?
Source: kissmetrics.com
29. We’re in peak content.
Journalists are forced to
keep churning more stories
— even though there aren’t
enough eyeballs, time or
ad revenues to go around.
30. Tablets, watches, glasses, bots,
live videos, drones, AR, VR.
None of these will save the
news business.
34. The answers aren’t going to
come from the industry.
So let’s learn from others.
35. “Customers are always beautifully,
wonderfully dissatisfied, even when they
report being happy and business is great.
Even when they don’t yet know it,
customers want something better, and your
desire to delight customers will drive you to
invent on their behalf.”
— Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder & CEO, in
2016 Letter to Shareholders
36. 1. Create a customer experience map
Identify customer touch points with your product/service.
Obsessing over the customer.
37. 1. Create a customer experience map
Identify customer touch points with your product/service.
2. Identify customer outcomes
Using your customer experience map, outline what the customer
wants to accomplish at each touch point by customer segment.

38. 1. Create a customer experience map

2. Identify customer outcomes
Using your customer experience map, outline what the customer
wants to accomplish at each touch point by customer segment.
3. Determine the current state
Conduct customer research to validate your findings and
uncover unmet customer needs.
Obsessing over the customer.
41. Why hotels?
• Creating products and services that people
actually want to pay for
• Investing in behavioral analytics to understand
what people want
• Obsessed about the user’s experience
42.

44.
45.
46. Some of the things they
share in common:
• Prioritizing bars and social spaces for
interactions
• Free, fast internet
• Comfortable common spaces for work
51. Media was never meant to reach
the most number of people.
We were meant to reach the right
people and help them.
52. Right people,
right information,
right time,
right place,
right monetization.
53. We are in a golden age of media.
For the first time, we have everything you
need to create content in your hands.
We have data to know what people
want…
how to get it to them…
on whatever platform they’re on.
55. “If you’re not an entrepreneur
in journalism these days, you
should get out of journalism.”
— Kara Swisher
Founder, Recode
56. “People will continue to demand
answers to anomalies and
suspicions... If news organizations
as we know them are not delivering,
others will step in to fulfill the need.”
— Simon Holt, Brisbane Times
