Frog is a global design and innovation consultancy that is part of Capgemini Invent that was founded in 1969 by Hermit Esslinger who ushered in an era of emotional design and which became famous thanks to their work with Apple.

Frog Design's Service Design process that features three phases. Discover (Analysis becomes insights), Design (Insights become Ideas) and Deliver (Ideas become Products).

Frog Design's Service Design Process

Frog's original innovation model involves three steps: Discover, Design and Deliver.

Discover: Analysis becomes insights

This step involves doing design research, user research and desk research to understand the market and available technologies.

Frog recommends that you synthesize this research into insights and other products of research synthesis to generate ideas and design outcomes.

Design: Insights Become Ideas

After generating the products of research synthesis, Frog suggests that you generate ideas and evaluate concepts to develop.

This development crosses the physical and the digital and may involve interaction, industrial, visual and experience design as well as a go-to-market strategy.

Deliver: Ideas become products

Once you know what to develop, the next step is to prototype it and carry out usability tests.

This process should be iterative and should culminate in a fully fleshed out UI/UX (i.e. a user experience map) or a complete CAD Model.

From this, you should create a backlog, product roadmap and begin executing the concept. We recommend that you do this using Scrum or Agile Methodologies.
