Design Mind frogcast

Today on our show, we’re diving even deeper into the world of corporate ventures for the Next Economy. To do this we’re listening in to a conversation with three experts in this space: frog’s own Ethan Imboden, VP of Design and Global Head of Ventures, Susana Jurado, Head of Telefónica’s Wayra Builder and Sohaila Ouffata, Managing Director of  BMW i Ventures in Europe. The three talk corporate venturing building, corporate venture capital, what it means to be a Next Economy business and even how to raise children in the metaverse.

Today we’re taking a trip to a place we’re calling the ‘Futurescape': a place built on decentralized connections and thriving micro-communities, where culture is no longer bound by geographic regions and sustainable behaviors are simply an intuitive, convenient way of life. It’s also the subject of a new frog report examining evolving consumer behaviors and future business opportunities. To guide us across the Futurescape and to unpack the many forces at work shaping it today, we’re joined by Liron Reznik, Executive Strategy Director, Head of Brand Strategy and Consumer Strategy, in New York. Liron worked with a team of frogs to take a look at what’s ahead for people, business and the planet, and along the way uncovered six major pillars and 12 macro-trends that are changing the landscape of tomorrow.

On this episode, we’re talking about transformation: one of the most commonly tossed around buzzwords in business and consulting–and arguably one of the least understood. To do this, we’re joined by Nathan Weyer, current Chief Operating Officer of Experience Design at Philips. Nathan has a long history with frog, first as a frog himself, then an alum, and now a client. He’s here to share more about what he’s learned about leading transformation initiatives in big organizations, managing creative teams and using Agile methods to align on a vision in the face of constant change.

Today on our show, we’re talking about behaviors–or, more specifically, the science behind behavior change. Behavioral science is a study of human actions that has roots in many different domains, from economics to psychology, biology and neuroscience. To talk about behaviors, we’re joined by Matt Wallaert, Head of Behavioral Science at frog and author of the book 'Start at the End: How to Build Products that Create Change.' Along with training his fellow frogs in the principles and applications of behavioral science, Matt works on multidisciplinary teams to guide clients in improving their own applied behavioral science capabilities, with a focus on making things that make change.

Today on our show, we’re exploring the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Newly emerging decentralized technologies are causing a stir in the realms of art, gaming and now business strategy.

Join artist Filip Peraić and frogs Kelley Kugler, Spencer Scott and Adam Wrigley as they share their POVs on NFTs.

He’s here to share why this hybrid approach matters now more than ever for domains as diverse as healthcare, retail, hospitality and entertainment.

Information is everywhere in a digital world, and yet there’s only so much time and attention we can pay to all this information in our daily lives. Thus, human attention is a scarce resource–and the most successful businesses, brands and creators know how to capture our hearts and minds best. Today on our show, we’re joined by Sean Rhodes, Executive Design Director in frog’s New York studio, to talk attention, passion and why there’s evidence we’re in the ‘Golden Age of Learning.’

Today on our show, we’re talking about the relationship between the built environment and the natural world. To do this, we’re joined by Mary Davidge, independent environmental advocate and former Director of Global Design for Real Estate and Workplace Services at Google. Mary has spent her entire career working at the intersection of health, design and nature. Since recently leaving Google, she’s been dedicating her time more fully to environmental causes, and investigating ways to help communities become more resilient in a time of global climate crisis. Mary shares how nature has guided her path as a designer –and why sometimes it's good to have more questions than answers.

There is always a little magic behind every great design.  On this episode of the Design Mind frogcast, we’re joined by Dave Lankford, VP of Product for Global Consumer Engagement at Disney Streaming (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and Star+) to talk about what it means to design products that tell stories. Designing streaming platforms for a brand with as large a footprint as Disney is no small feat, but luckily Dave and his global team are well-prepared for the task. At Disney Streaming, human empathy and machine intelligence play a critical role in the mission of storytelling. Dave discusses the importance of empowering creative, collaborative teams, how the improvisation technique “Yes, and” leads to innovative ideas, and what it takes to connect users with stories across vastly different regions, cultures and languages.

How about bespoke financial institutions designed to strategically support certain communities? frog Senior Strategist Megan Nesbeth stops by to talk about how expanding your economic imagination can lead to better products, stronger communities and, most importantly, a more meaningful way of thinking about what human beings are able to give to one another in the world.

When it comes to making things for real people in the real world, intentions matter. Whether it's taking the proper time to deeply understand the challenge you're trying to solve, scoping a diverse team that better reflects your customer and community, or asking the hard questions about a design's potential impact, the meaning we infuse into what we make is as important as the final product. frog Design Director Alexis Puchek joins us to explain the importance of leading with intentionality throughout the entire process—and the consequences of failing to do so.

Businesses tend to talk a lot about their brands. But why? What’s the point of having a brand at all?

Listen in to hear about the changing mandate of the marketing function, the relationship between brand and experience, and why designers and marketers need to work well together.
