Design Mind frogcast

On this episode, we're shining a spotlight on a real collaboration between frog and life sciences giant Bayer. This months-long partnership was all about building and launching a new corporate venture to deliver proactive, customer-centric, data-driven self-care at scale in service of healthy aging. Told in seven chapters, you'll hear from real members of the Bayer Consumer Health and frog team, sharing their perspectives on what it takes to push a 150-year old brand into the future with new business models and methods of innovation—without jeopardizing what's made them a household name.

Guests today include leads at Bayer Consumer Health, including Dave Evendon-Challis, Chief Scientific Officer, Lily Wong, Digital Transformation Lead and Aquil Harjivan, Digital Products Lead. You'll also hear from core members of the frog team on the program, including Ethan Imboden, Global Head of Ventures and VP of Design, Daniel Kolodziej, Ventures Director, Kim Gladow, Principal Interaction Designer and Matthias Pielmeier, Associate Strategy Director.

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. But are NFTs the wave of the future or the latest passing fad? We asked artists, strategists and designers to share their perspectives on why NFTs are raising questions about ownership, identity and value. Join artist Filip Peraić and frogs Kelley Kugler, Spencer Scott and Adam Wrigley as they share their POVs on NFTs.

Today on our show, we’re talking about designing for real and imaginary worlds. To do this, we’re joined by Zach Morgan, a senior architectural designer based in frog’s Austin, Texas studio. In his time moving between the worlds of architecture, theme park design at Disney and Universal Studios, and now as part of frog’s Places & Experiences team, Zach has learned a lot about what it takes to make immersive environments that merge the best aspects of physical and digital. 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.
