"Small ideas are here to stay, and generally impact and mean so much more to Partners, than the next big strategic change. Therefore, using a system that allows any Partner, working anywhere in our business, whether driving a van, restocking shelves or managing the marketing POS, to submit an idea is very important. The Wazoku idea management platform gives exactly that."

Novel Methods for Food Intake Analysis

Abstract

Good eating habits are an important aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Measuring what we eat and drink enables us to make better-informed decisions about our food choices. However, accurately measuring what we eat is more easily said than done. The Seeker requests submissions from Solvers who can provide a solution that enables individuals to accurately measure and record their food consumption, conveniently and easily.
