    5 Foundations of Planet-Centric Innovation

    5 Foundations of Planet-Centric Innovation

    What if 'future' was a verb? Could that inform our approach to building a society with lasting value for people and planet? Historically, the world of innovation has emphasized the human experience, which, in most contexts, translates into being zeroed in on the needs of the end user of a product or the customer of an organization. Of course, this remains mission-critical to making things people love. But today, creating with intention requires a much broader remit. It requires expanding to include decision-making that considers societal and environmental factors. To discuss how to shift toward a more “planet-centric mindset,” we’re joined by Idun Aune, designer and Head of Sustainability in frog Norway.

    Making Connectivity Matter

    Making Connectivity Matter

    Today on our show, we’re talking about what we here at frog call the ‘Connected World.’ Connecting hardware to the internet is not exactly new at this point. But what is new is the reach our connected devices can have, the services and applications they enable, the technology behind them and the positive outcomes they can have on people and planet. To talk about the potential applications of connectivity, four strategies for success and the pitfalls to avoid, we're joined by five experts from across frog and Capgemini Invent.

    Our Guests:
    Jeff Hebert, Global Head of Intelligent Products and Services in Intelligent Industry, Capgemini Invent
    Richard Traherne, Global Head of Next Frontiers, Capgemini Invent
    Chiara Diana, Vice President, Chief Design Officer and Head of the Global Innovation Team, frog
    Heather Brundage, Senior Director, Strategy and Innovation, Synapse Product Development

    Forget the Social Algorithm

    Forget the Social Algorithm

    Today on our show, we’re jumping into the constantly shifting, sometimes chaotic world of social media. For those developing social media strategy for brands, these are places to tell stories, curate content, sell products and measure engagement. To talk about how to capture attention amidst all the noise while also managing to somehow be authentic on these platforms, we’re joined by two voices deeply enmeshed in this space: Laura Davies, a Senior Performance Marketing Manager at Deliveroo and Isabelle Cavanagh, Marketing Consultant here at frog.

Podcast

Excellent material, delivered with grace, clarity, and knowledge. I’ve learned so much by listening to the podcast. Looking forward to hearing many more.

Genuinely smart and inspiring

The guests on this podcast explore relevant topics in a way that encouraged me to actually think about them in new ways. The depth of experience here is clear, but the speakers are humble and their opinions are well-researched. It’s a design-focused show, but it goes way beyond that. Highly encourage checking it out.
