A
s I began to compose this letter, I realized how quickly my first year has
passed as Chief Executive Officer of Johnson & Johnson. It has been a
year with many rewarding moments, as well as some challenges. Though
a year of transition, we made solid progress on many fronts, including
building out strategic platforms, while establishing exciting new ones.
I am honored to be just the seventh CEO in our long history. This legacy of
leadership is a tribute to the success and stability of Johnson & Johnson, and to the
belief in the importance of our purpose held in common with us by our shareholders
over so many decades. Personally, I am truly humbled to lead the incredibly talented
and dedicated people who work for Johnson & Johnson.
One challenge all of us in the world today face together is health and health care.
This is true in both developed and emerging markets. When combined with the
rapidly changing demographics of an aging population, a growing middle class and
the persistence of chronic disease, the scale and complexity of the issue is magnified.
It is my belief that providing high-quality health care to patients and consumers
around the world in a sustainable manner is society’s greatest challenge. But it is also
the greatest hope for a better future for every individual, every family, every
community and every country.
Johnson & Johnson works at the very center of this challenge, across the broadest base of any company in global health care. Every
day, we are working to help people everywhere live longer, healthier, and happier lives. We recognize that with our global leadership
comes a responsibility; one we consider a privilege. I’m pleased with how we are meeting that responsibility, but I’m far from satisfied.
The passing last fall of former CEO James Burke reminded us all that the simple set of beliefs defined in Our Credo can guide our
Company through all the challenges and complexities of these or any time. My overarching goal as CEO is to ensure that our nearly
128,000 employees in more than 275 operating companies around the world will always be united by Our Credo and our single
purpose: Caring for the world, one person at a time.

Johnson & Johnson Organizational Research ProjectAndrea Ratz
The Johnson & Johnson Organizational Research project was completed in May 2016. This was a group project with the goal of researching what type of organizational structure a certain healthcare organization operated with. The organization of choice was Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Company. My group researched the company’s background, their values, diversity, international management, export and import, management approach, and an external environmental analysis. My role in this project was researching the company’s management approach and any controversies the company has faced in the recent years.

Since its emergence in the 1960's, plate tectonic theory has gained wide-spread acceptance as the model of how Earth's land masses shift over time. Plate tectonics developed historically in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." He stated that the continents plowed through crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines, such as South America and Africa, appeared to fit like missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
There are various types of plate boundaries such as: convergent plate boundaries, when two collide; divergent plate boundaries, when they spread apart; and transform boundaries, when they slide past each other.

As computer and internet technologies have advanced and become m.docxssusera34210
As computer and internet technologies have advanced and become more easily accessible across the world, we are seeing an explosion of social activists, government agencies and terrorists using these technologies to further their efforts. Government and non-government entities use the internet to spread propaganda and information, recruit support and demonize opponents. The efforts of some radical groups, like ISIS, to shut down US infrastructure and thwart military activity can clearly be labeled as cyberterrorism. However, some groups, such as the loosely associated international network of self-proclaimed “hacktivists” identified as Anonymous, are blurring the lines between what constitutes terrorism and what is simply social activism. As technology continues to advance and further our capabilities, we are continuously presented with new and intriguing moral questions.
After reading the module notes and all of the supplemental materials, respond to the following:
Briefly define cyberterrorism. Define hacktivism. Illustrate examples of each in current events within the last decade.
What is the fundamental difference between these two?
How has technology helped to advance these groups?
How do you think our government’s response to such groups has changed our attitudes towards our own freedoms?
In your opinion, do you think Hacktivism is justified or is it just a subset of cyberterrorism? Give some examples to support your stance.
Support your position using appropriate sources that are properly cited.

As an African American male, social issues are some that seem to.docxssusera34210
As an African American male, social issues are some that seem to be a part of our everyday life at the time of birth. Whether it’s our skin being threatening towards other groups of society, police brutality, not receiving the same education, jobs, or housing as those of other cultures; it’s something that burned into our part of growing up and learning how to maneuver the world around us. Being that this is something that is thrown in our face time and time again, I would like to talk about the trust or lack thereof, between “professional helpers” and African American males. You must first stop and take a look at the deep roots of past and current events that lead to African Americans not trusting the help that’s provided by doctors, lawyers, therapists, etc. For example, historical adversity, which includes slavery, sharecropping, and race-based exclusion from health, educational, social, and economic resources, translates into socioeconomic disparities experienced by Black and African American people today. Socioeconomic status, in turn, is linked to mental health: People who are impoverished, homeless, incarcerated, or have substance use problems are at higher risk for poor mental health.
Despite progress made over the years, racism continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black and African American people. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences. Historical and contemporary instances of negative treatment have led to a mistrust of authorities, many of whom are not seen as having the best interests of Black and African Americans in mind. The culture from which many African Americans are raised, has a greater distrust of the medical helpers and medical offices alike, from the belief of racial bias. A great example is that of the Tuskegee experiment, where the abuses of slaves by white doctors, simply for the use of medical experimentation. There was no sense of consent or refusal from the African American participants to participate, just because of their lower level in society and the mass discrimination during that time. It’s those issues of the past, that resist black males from seeking the help they truly need, in order to bring them back to the feeling of self and self-worth; and to add a more recent impact, just look at the COVID vaccine, many are skeptical of receiving it, just because of what happens at Tuskegee. Despite progress made over the years, racism continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black and African American people. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences. Historical and contemporary instances of negative treatment have led to a mistrust of authorities, many of whom are not seen as having the best interests of Black and African Americans in mind.

As a special education professional, it is important to be aware of .docxssusera34210
As a special education professional, it is important to be aware of how social and cultural influences can impact the assessment process. Lack of awareness can lead to charges of discrimination and possible litigation.
Using support from the required readings, the Instructor Guidance, supplemental information derived from outside sources and your discussion, and information from the scenario below, you will (a) use information you have learned about Manuel to complete the
Child Study Team Referral Form
found in the
Week Three Instructor Guidance
, and (b) write a 3 page report with your recommendations for Tier Two RTI interventions that take Manuel's social and cultural background into account.
Scenario:
Manuel is becoming more and more listless in class and is still not doing well with his assignments. You have noticed though, that he seems to be making friends, as outside of class each morning you notice him joking and talking with a group of boys. They talk about BMX bikes and an online computer game that they all play. You are aware that some of the boys in that group are involved in the school robotics team and you begin to wonder how you could use his newly formed friendships and your insights into his interests to support his language arts skills.
You and Mr. Franklin are also excited about a workshop you just attended with Dr. Janette Klingner who talked about
how to realize the potential of RTI (Links to an external site.)
(Klingner, J, 2011) with culturally and linguistically diverse learners. The Child Study Team has been doing diagnostic work to see if there are other variables within the classroom and/or school environment that may be affecting Manuel's performance. What the Child Study Team discovers is that Manuel feels embarrassed by his slow reading compared to his classmates and does not see the relevance of classes that are not related to his intended career goal, engineering. The team also notes that Manuel is able to write well, but he often does not finish in-class assignments and tests, and his homework written assignments are very short. The lack of length in his assignments consistently costs him points.
When you talk to Manuel he shows pride when you compliment him on his bilingual ability and ask for his help in translating for a new student from Guatemala. Finally, the team becomes aware that Manuel does not want to be labeled "dumb" and is worried that he will be made fun of if he is pulled out of his regular classes for more intensive support. Manuel’s vision and hearing test were both are normal and his medical exam does not reveal any medical issues.
As a member of the Child Study Team (CST) and taking into account Manuel's interests and the social and cultural influences that may be affecting Manuel's school performance, you and the CST are planning your next steps. You and Mr. Franklin discuss what interventions would take into account Manuel’s cultural and linguistic background. .

satile blastocyst complementation platform based
on CRISPR-Cas9-mediated zygote genome editin.
As a future leader in the field of health care administration, you m.docxssusera34210
As a future leader in the field of health care administration, you may face many chronic health threats to various systems. As you work to combat these threats and ensure community wellness, you are likely to become an agent of social change. This objective may be more challenging and critical to achieve in matters such as health emergencies and outbreaks. For leaders, outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics elicit critical and timely attention to situations in health care administration.
In this week’s article by Gostin, Lucey, & Phelan (2014), the authors highlight the challenges present with an Ebola epidemic on a global scale. Using this Learning Resource from this week as well as 2–4 additional resources you may find from the Walden Library, current events, etc., consider your leadership perspective during an outbreak, epidemic, or pandemic.
As you collaborate with your group, individually select one of the following leadership roles that would respond during this outbreak:
Director, FEMA
Director, CDC
Governor of an afflicted state
Incident Response Commander
Response Leader, American Red Cross (or other nongovernmental organization)
***Health Care Administrator for a large medical center (
I HAVE SELECTED THIS ROLE
)****
After selecting your leadership role, use a systems approach to work with your group to establish an immediate response in preventing another pandemic.
The Assignment—Part 1:Individual Case Analysis (1–2 pages):
Based on the leadership role you selected for the Assignment, include the following:
A summary of the leadership challenges this leader would face in assuring the system changes necessary to be prepared for the next outbreak, epidemic, or pandemic
An explanation of how your leadership challenges as this leader relate to challenges of the other leaders listed above
Note:
The leadership challenges that you describe should be those you would face as an individual in the role of your selected leader, rather than the functional challenges of the agency this individual leads.
The Assignment—Part 2:Group Case Study Analysis (2–3 pages):
Then, using your leadership Assignment for the Case Study, collaborate with your colleagues to create a Group Case Study Analysis that includes:
An explanation of how the challenges identified in the individual case analyses collectively affect crisis response by the system and the individuals within it
An explanation of how transformational and transactional leaders might influence outcomes within this case
A summary of how poor leadership might affect the outcome of the case

Summary
This
article
posted
as
a
special
news
report
by
The
Economist,
is
focused
on
the
Eurozone
and
European
Union,
and
how
they
are
experiencing
some
problems
that
might
hurt
both
the
euro
currency
and
relations
with
non-‐-‐-‐euro

countries.
At
the
moment,
in
Europe
there
are
two
types
of
observers:
the
Europhiles
and
Euroskeptics.
The
Europhiles
are
those
who
admire
Europe
and
favor
the
participation
of
the
European
Union,
while
on
the
other
side
of
the
spectrum
are
the
Euroskeptics,
who
are
those
who
are
opposed
to
increasing
the
powers
of
the
European
Union.
Currently,
the
alarming
political
issue
that
has
been
growing
in
Europe
is
the
negative
relationship
between
those
countries
that
belong
to
the
European
Union
and
Eurozone,
against
those
who
are
members
of
the
European
Union
but
not
the
Eurozone.
The
argument
here
is
that
those
members
belonging
to
the
Eurozone
have
been
meeting
together,
while
excluding
non-‐-‐-‐Eurozone
members
and
making
decisions
such
as
bails,
which
affect
all
countries
within
the
European
Union.
The
Eurozone
countries
believe
that
that
only
those
countries
that
are
members
of
the
Eurozone
should
be
allowed
to
voice
their
opinions
and
make
decisions
on
everything
regarding
the
euro,
since
they
are
the
ones
directly
affected
by
it.
On
the
other
hand,
the
non-‐-‐-‐Eurozone
countries
feel
like
the
euro
members
are
“ganging
up”
on
them,
meaning
that
they
feel
like
those
countries
in
the
Eurozone
are
making
decisions
regarding
their
own
interests,
and
not
the
collective
interests
of
all

The Effects of Color on the Moods
of College Students
Sevinc Kurt1 and Kelechi Kingsley Osueke2
Abstract
This research aims to discover the psychological effects of colors on individuals, using the students’ union complex in a
university campus. This building was chosen due to its richness in color variances. The research method is survey, and
questionnaires were drawn up and distributed to an even range of students, comprising both international and local
students; undergraduate and graduate. Questionnaires have been collected and analyzed to find out the effects different
colors had on students’ moods in different spaces of the students’ union complex. This research would contribute to
understand more about colors and how they affect our feelings and therefore to make better decisions and increase the
use of spaces when choosing colors for different spaces to suit the purpose for which they are designed.
Keywords
color, mood, architectural space
Introduction
We live in a world of color (Huchendorf, 2007, p. 1).
According to the various researches, the color that
surrounds us in our daily lives has a profound effect on our
mood and on our behavior (e.g., Babin, Hardesty, & Suter,
2003; Kwallek, Lewis, & Robbins, 1988; Kwallek,
Woodson, Lewis, & Sales, 1997; Rosenstein, 1985). In
clothing, interiors, landscape, and even natural light, a color
can change our mood from sad to happy, from confusion to
intelligence, from fear to confidence. It can actually be used
to “level out” emotions or to create different moods (Aves
& Aves, 1994, p. 120). The design of an environment
through a variety of means such as temperature, sounds,
layout, lighting, and colors can stimulate perceptual and
emotional responses in consumers and affect their behavior
(Kotler, 1973 in Yildirim, Akalinbaskaya, & Hidayetoglu,
2007, p. 3233). Therefore, it may follow that if we could
measure it, we may get a clue as to how our mood varies
when in any enclosed space. The ambiance of the interior
space affects the users’ behaviors and perception of that
place by influencing their emotional situation. In this
context, it is believed that the various physical components
including light and color have a great importance on the
environmental characteristics of space, especially in public
use like students’ union centers.
Hence, using the appropriate color in design is important
in such buildings. It is also significant to draw cognitive
map and way finding in interiors. Environmental
interventions that promote way finding can be implemented
on two levels: the design of the floor plan typology and
environmental cues, which comprise signage, furnishings,
lighting, colors, and so on. Vivid color coding may enhance
short-term memory and improve functional ability (Cernin,
Keller, & Stoner, 2003). So the use of color is one of the
crucial elements in designing the appropriate circulation of
public interiors. Furtherm.
Art museums and art galleries are two different types of entitie.docxssusera34210
Art museums and art galleries are two different types of entities.
The primary difference is that while one goes to an art museum to view art and learn about art from an educational or cultural experience; one goes to an art gallery to view art, discover new artists, possibly from the perspective of purchasing the art.
Most museums are funded by governments, foundations, and corporate and private donors, and they are operated on a non-for-profit basis. Galleries seek to make profit and gain exposure for themselves and the artists they represent.Art galleries, are usually small businesses or centers that exhibit art for the purposes of promoting and selling art. One would typically visit an art gallery to discover an artist, possibly with an interest in buying the art. Art museums, on the other hand, are larger and are intended for education and cultural experiences. One would typically visit an art museum to view and study its permanent collection or to visit a touring exhibit of works on loan from another museum or institution.

As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group .docxssusera34210
As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group typology in order to choose the appropriate group method for a specific population or problem. Each type of group has its own approach and purpose. Two of the more frequently used types of groups are task groups and intervention groups.
For this Assignment, review the “Cortez Multimedia” case study, and identify a target behavior or issue that needs to be ameliorated, decreased, or increased. In a 2- to 4-page report, complete the following:
Choose either a treatment group or task group as your intervention for Paula Cortez.
Identify the model of treatment group (i.e., support, education, teams, or treatment conferences).
Using the typologies described in the Toseland & Rivas (2017) piece, describe the characteristics of your group. For instance, if you choose a treatment group that is a support group, what would be the purpose, leadership, focus, bond, composition, and communication?
Include the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of group as an intervention.
REQUIRED resource for assignment
A Meeting of an Interdisciplinary Team
Paula has just been involuntarily hospitalized and placed on the psychiatric unit, for a minimum of 72 hours, for observation. Paula was deemed a suicidal risk after an assessment was completed by the social worker. The social worker observed that Paula appeared to be rapidly decompensating, potentially placing herself and her pregnancy at risk.
Paula just recently announced to the social worker that she is pregnant. She has been unsure whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy or terminate. Paula also told the social worker she is fearful of the father of the baby, and she is convinced he will try to hurt her. He has started to harass, stalk, and threaten her at all hours of the day. Paula began to exhibit increased paranoia and reported she started smoking again to calm her nerves. She also stated she stopped taking her psychiatric medications and has been skipping some of her
HIV
medications.
The following is an interdisciplinary team meeting being held in a conference room at the hospital. Several members of Paula’s team (HIV doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, and OB nurse) have gathered to discuss the precipitating factors to this hospitalization. The intent is to craft a plan of action to address Paula's noncompliance with her medications, increased paranoia, and the pregnancy.

Dialogue 1
Paula is a complicated patient, and she presents with a complicated situation. She is HIV positive, has Hepatitis C, and multiple foot ulcers that can be debilitating at times. Paula has always been inconsistent with her HIV meds—no matter how often I explain the need for consistent compliance in order to maintain her health. Paula has exhibited a lack of insight into her medical conditions and the need to follow instructions. Frankly, I was astonished an.

Circling Round Vitruvius, Linear Perspective, and the
Design of Roman Wall Painting

Abstract: Many scholars believe that linear perspective existed in classical antiquity, but a fresh
examination of two key texts in Vitruvius shows that 1.2.2 is about modularity and symmetria,
while 7.Pr.11 describes shading (skiagraphia). Moreover, these new interpretations are firmly based on
the classical understanding of optics and the history of painting (e.g., Pliny the Elder). A third text
(Philostratus, Imagines 1.4.2) suggests that the design of Roman wall painting depends on concentric
circles. Philostratus’ system is then used to successfully make facsimiles of five walls, representing
Styles II, III, and IV of Roman wall painting. Hence, linear perspective and its relatives, such as
Panofsky’s vanishing vertical axis, should not be imposed retrospectively where they never existed.
Keywords: linear perspective; skenographia; skiagraphia; Greek and Roman painting; Roman fresco;
Vitruvius; Philostratus
Two systems for designing Pompeian wall paintings have dominated modern scholarship: a
one- or center-point perspective and a vanishing vertical axis.1 Neither method works for all the
variations seen on the walls of Styles II–IV. The vanishing vertical axis is considered a precursor of
linear perspective, whereas center-point construction is a form of linear perspective. Many scholars
believe that linear perspective was invented by the Greeks, only to be forgotten during the Middle
Ages and “reinvented” in the Renaissance.2 In contrast, I propose that linear perspective was not
known in any form in antiquity but, rather, was an invention of the Renaissance, which also created its
putative ancient pedigree.
1. Background
1.1. Definitions
First, it is important to define four key terms.
“Perspective” applies loosely to a wide range of systems that convert a three-dimensional scene
to two dimensions. Most scholars, however, mean “linear perspective” when they use the unqualified
term “perspective”. No standard definition exists for linear perspective, but only linear perspective
obeys the rules of projective geometry. Formal definitions refer to “station points” (the point or
place for the “eye” of the “viewer” and/or “artist”), vanishing points, horizon lines, and picture
planes, among other aspects. Horizontal lines converge to the “center point” or, in the case of
1 This topic is remarkably complex with a massive bibliography. Small (2013) provides a reasonable summary of the
scholarship to its date of publication. Since then, I have realized that the standard interpretations of key texts and objects
needs to be totally rethought. This artic.

FOR ThE PLAnET
Making life better for people and the
planet is our mission at SC Johnson.
Part of being a responsible company is working
hard to play our role in helping to solve the world’s
environmental problems and, importantly, also helping
those who buy our products make more responsible
choices. This is an opportunity that inspires us every
day at SC Johnson. Making life better for people and
the planet is our mission.
Over the last year, we further reduced greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, increased our use of renewable energy
and invested in continually improving our products.
5. We also have worked hard to provide more industry-
leading transparency for our consumers by labeling our
products with their ingredients. We want our consumers
to scrutinize the careful ingredient choices that we make
so they can continue to trust our enduring brands.
We have begun laying the groundwork for our next
five-year strategy, which includes expanding our
GHG focus to address the full product lifecycle and
working in new ways to minimize landfill impact.
But these efforts are just part of our sustainability
story. In 2009, we also continued to fulfill the
obligation for business to drive social progress.
We celebrated the 50th anniversary of our philan-
thropic arm, the SC Johnson Fund, Inc., as well as
ongoing philanthropy by the company that began
decades earlier. We continued to invest in base-
of-the-pyramid business co-creation.
And, through investments such as our collaboration
6. with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we further
extended our efforts to prevent the insect-borne
diseases that affect millions of families around
the world each year.
This year, our public report has two different
covers and routes to get to know SC Johnson.
But they converge on the same belief —
that business has both an opportunity
and an obligation to make the world
better by advancing environmental
and social progress.
By sharing our company’s efforts
across both the environmental and
social facets of sustainability, this 2010 Public Report
aims to highlight the many ways in which we’re
bringing this belief to life.
It’s a commitment we’ve upheld for more than 120
years, and an aspiration shared by the 12,000 people
7. of SC Johnson. I continue to be very proud of, and
grateful for, the difference we’re able to make.

Making Life Better for Families
Throughout its history, SC Johnson has contributed to
community and charitable efforts
in the belief that the company cannot be healthy on the inside
unless our communities
outside are healthy, too.
This commitment to philanthropy goes back to the
company’s beginnings. Herbert F. Johnson, Sr., son
of company founder Samuel C. Johnson, helped set
up a Racine community fund in the 1920s. Today, the
SC Johnson Fund, Inc. continues that long tradition
by matching employees’ United Way contributions
in all the communities where we have employees
throughout the United States.
In keeping with this commitment, in 1959, the
SC Johnson Fund was incorporated with the goal
of supporting non-profit organizations and programs
that have a positive impact on the communities in
17. which we operate and the world at large.
Grants that Drive Growth
Grants are made to support existing non-profit
organizations or programs focused on defined areas
of interest such as the environment, social equity
and economic vitality. Recipients must demonstrate
broad-based support from, and collaboration with,
other community groups.
Organizations submit a request for financial support
to the Fund; its Board of Trustees reviews the requests
several times a year and recommends support for
various proposals.
Ongoing Programs that Help
The SC Johnson Fund also has ongoing programs to
involve employees and the community in philanthropic
efforts. For example, the Educational Matching Gift
program matches employees’ and retirees’ cash or
stock gifts to accredited educational institutions, up
to $6,000 per year for each employee or retiree.
18. Along with a Sons & Daugh-
ters Scholarship Program for
dependents of employees
and retirees, the SC Johnson
Fund also established a
Young Leaders Scholarship
program to assist economi-
cally disadvantaged high
school seniors of non-
employee families in the
Racine area. Students who plan to continue their edu-
cation in college or vocational schools can apply for
renewable scholarships. More than $1.5 million in Young
Leaders scholarships have been granted since 2002.
In addition, the SC Johnson Fund in 2001 launched
a Dollars for Doers program to recognize employee
and retiree volunteer time. The Fund awards $250 to
non-profit organizations for 40 hours of service there
19. by employees or retirees in a fiscal year. More than
$350,000 has been awarded so far.
Among 45 new scholarship
recipients in 2009, one was
Eric Wagers, pictured here

Behind This Flower is a Powerful Story
In June 2009, SC Johnson kicked off a partnership in Rwanda
that illustrates sustainable
development at its best.
By helping farmers enhance their ability to supply
higher-quality pyrethrum (py) — a natural insecticide
extract of the chrysanthemum flower — the effort
helps increase farmers’ income while increasing the
supply for SC Johnson and other purchasers.
What We’re Doing
SC Johnson is working in active partnership with the
U.S. Agency for International Development and Texas
A&M University’s Borlaug Institute to support farmer
organization and more effective agricultural practices.
As an example, the farmers are being assisted in estab-
lishing a cooperative to promote best practices for py
collection and transportation. The two largest groups
of 4,000 farming families are reorganizing into smaller
groups of 30 to 50 growers, to allow for more effective
34. and better management. With these smaller groups,
the goal is to improve and accelerate services to farm-
ers and to more quickly disseminate best practices. At
the same time, the reorganization removes middlemen
that were siphoning money from the py value chain,
and instead keeps the profits with the farmers.
Additionally, agronomic techniques are being improved
to raise the income farmers can get from the same
amount of land planted with py. Also, the effort is
bringing global positioning system (GPS) and geo-
graphic information system (GIS) technology to
develop a crop management system that will help
ensure long-term benefits to the farmers and the
growth of Rwanda’s pyrethrum industry.
As part of the effort, we’re also providing health
information through the co-ops to the farmers, to
help their families stay healthy.
What’s at Stake
35. The goal is to increase production each year through
the end of 2011, while also increasing the py content
of the yield. Despite various challenges so far, the
2009 harvest of dried py flowers delivered a yield
with a 33 percent higher py content than in 2008.
Also important, farmers in the region are engaging in
the project and the acreage being planted is showing
signs of increasing.
Obviously these are good results in terms of increasing
the sustainable supply of py for key purchasers like
SC Johnson. But also important, as farmers see
increased returns on their business, we’re hopeful it
will lead to important benefits for their families, such
as more reliable or higher incomes that can enable
improved nutrition, health and education. What is Py?
Pyrethrum, or “py,” is a natural,
fast-acting insecticide extracted
from the dried flower heads of
chrysanthemums. Although it
can be produced synthetically, py
is known for the fact that it doesn’t persist as long in
the environment as synthetic py. SC Johnson uses it in
36. some of its pest control products, such as its Raid® and
Baygon® brand insecticides sold around the world.
SC Johnson has purchased py from East Africa for more
than 40 years. We worked with the Pyrethrum Board of
Kenya to help build capacity, stabilize the supply and
bring more reliable income to farmers there. We also
partnered with the NGO KickStart to bring Kenya py
farmers a manual water pump for irrigating crops with
groundwater. We began exploring opportunities with
Rwanda py farmers in 2007.
From BoP Pilot
to Business-As-Usual
On this page and the following, SC Johnson features
investment projects with base of the pyramid (BoP)
entrepreneurs and farmers. But we also have BoP proj-
ects that have evolved into profitable business-as-usual.
In Nigeria, we launched a motorcycle sales pilot in 2006
to reach more traditional, lower-income distribution
outlets. It became a profitable success for all involved.
Similarly, a Ghana effort using push bikes designed for
carrying cargo now provides a solid source of income
for the bicycle distributors as well as for SC Johnson.
By becoming strong enough to be self-sustainable,
these efforts prove out the promise of BoP investments.

Progress from Partnership
In 2006, with partner Carolina for Kibera, SC Johnson co-
launched Community Cleaning
37. Services (CCS) in Nairobi, Kenya, offering very low-cost
cleaning services to families living
at the base of the economic pyramid.
Since then, CCS has
achieved a solid business
model cleaning public
and private shared toilet
facilities. Most toilets in
Nairobi’s poor neighbor-
hoods are shared by
multiple households
and are poorly maintained. Neighbors now can hire
CCS to clean their toilet and share the cost, meaning
regularly maintained, more sanitary toilets for about
17 U.S. cents per
household. Fourteen
CCS teams currently
service around 225
facilities per week.
38. Collaborating for
Continuous Improvement
Focusing on continuous improvement, since 2009,
CCS and a team from SC Johnson have been working
together, exploring ways to enhance the toilet cleaning
processes, reduce costs and drive sales growth.
A collaborative approach was key, as was the addi-
tion of a team member with R&D expertise. Through
hands-on research, process analysis and iterative
prototyping, the teams were able to identify ways
to increase cleaner productivity by 60 percent and
cut cleaning time by 35 percent. In addition, they
collectively devised a solution to CCS’s top customer
issue: odor control.
A Fresh
Solution
Odor is an issue in any toilet area, but especially in
39. bathrooms shared by multiple households. The CCS
team knew this, and that clients would pay more for
toilet cleaning if odor control was included. But a chal-
lenge was that air fresheners tended to disappear or
be taken from the bathrooms shortly after placement.
Together, we found an effective, low-cost solution:
an SC Johnson toilet gel product distributed under
the Duck® and Scrubbing Bubbles® brand names.
Designed to be stamped out of a dispenser in devel-
oped market-type toilet bowls for cleaning and odor
control, the gel turned out to have great potential for
the developing market, too.
A dollop of gel in the toilet
40. area freshens the air for
seven to 10 days, and in a
form that stays put. In addi-
tion, it allows SC Johnson to
repurpose excess gel from
the routine manufacturing
process. By providing a barrel
of the gel to CCS instead of
disposing of it, we cut material
handling and disposal fees.
The gel is then distributed by
the pound to the entrepre-
41. neurs, who transfer it to pastry
bags that are reused repeat-
edly for individual applications. The end result is more
satisfied clients, higher profits for the cleaning teams,
and less packaging and waste.
More Opportunities on the Horizon
To continue leveraging the momentum of the CCS
effort, the SC Johnson team checks in regularly and is
helping explore other opportunities. Up-and-coming
efforts include quantifying the sanitation impact of
CCS’s service to prove the value of the cleaning, and
introducing a graphical, step-by-step training manual
to help train new cleaners.
42. In addition, learnings from this effort will be used in
other BoP initiatives moving forward. For example,
SC Johnson is undertaking an initiative in Ghana to
create a sustainable business model related to malaria
prevention. Read more about it on page 15.

Q You were the first SC Johnson team member with
an R&D background to partner with the CCS team.
How do you think your perspective was different?
As a designer, my first instinct is to approach problems
43. from a user-centered point of view. To do that, you
really need to walk in the user’s shoes and that meant
living and working with the cleaning teams as well as
spending a lot of time interviewing their clients.
I also interviewed the cleaning teams to understand
what they’ve learned along the way and how they’ve
improved processes. For example, one team learned
odor control was an issue. That eventually led to the
new odor control offering. Experience with iterative
prototyping helped
too, because we were
translating needs into
tangible products or
44. processes that we
could test and modify
as necessary.

Expert Q&A
Measuring Success
SC Johnson recently provided the Community Cleaning
Services team trainer with a “germ meter” to measure
toilet-area microbiological levels. The meter is for quality
control and to help show potential clients the sanitation
benefits of toilet cleaning. A swab test before and after
cleaning allows CCS to measure microbial improvement
... and demonstrate some impressive results.

Turning Problems into Opportunities
Here’s an example of a process opportunity that the
52. CCS and SC Johnson teams co-innovated.
Problem
When cleaning walls, water and dish soap would be
splashed onto the wall by hand. Water would run down
the wall and drain away, requiring even more water to
complete the cleaning task.
