What is the Accelerate frog Pathway?

The frog pathway of the Accelerate programme is designed for talented graduates who are passionate about creating memorable customer experiences by imagining and building innovative experiences, products, and businesses that disrupt markets, win hearts, and realise the future. As part of Capgemini Invent, frog is a leading global creative consultancy that partners with visionary leaders and entrepreneurs to apply strategy, creativity, data, AI and tech that can re-invent businesses, drive growth and lead customer-centric transformation in an eco-digital era.

The Accelerate Programme consists of 2 parts:

  • The Institute (circa 3 months)
  • The frog Academy (circa 18 months)

Following a 3-week induction, your first 3 months of the Accelerate Programme will be spent within The Institute, where you will learn core consulting skills and gain a broad understanding of everything we do at frog (Capgemini Invent) within a feedback-rich environment.

You’ll then move into the frog Academy, where you’ll join one of our craft teams. They are communities that bring together like-minded frogs who share common interests, skillsets & experiences to help you further develop & flourish. These are:

The Focus of Your Role

As an Associate Consultant you will embark on a stimulating and exciting journey where you will develop core consulting skills, influencing how our clients evolve the way they work, perform, and achieve their goals. You’ll have the opportunity to work on large-scale transformation programmes, ensuring the smooth delivery of end-to-end projects by working flexibly, demonstrating intellectual capability and delivering innovative solutions for clients.

Depending on your craft, the day-to-day tasks on a client project can vary from designing innovative strategies and propositions in areas such as customer engagement strategy, brand strategy, service design, product design, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), loyalty, marketing, content, commerce and service transformation, to testing these new designs with user research methodologies and evaluating technologies and platforms to bring them to life.

What you will need

We are interested to hear from you if you have experience working in the industries we operate in and are keen to start a career in an environment where you can drive change.

For all crafts within the frog Academy, you will ideally have some or all of the following:

  • A natural curiosity in topics such as customer & business strategy, content and marketing strategy, customer relationship management and loyalty, commerce, service design, product development, UI & Design Systems
  • A passion for enhancing customer experiences and identifying emerging technologies, with an understanding of the importance in putting the customer at the heart of new solutions to solve client problems
  • An interest and/or experience in our target sectors: Retail, Consumer Products, Financial Services, Public Sector, Energy & Utilities, Travel & Transport (incl. Automotive), and Telco & Media
  • A strong desire to work in a fast-paced environment alongside senior client stakeholders to articulate the value of the customer, their behaviours and motivations as a key part of any business’ growth and transformation strategy

At Capgemini Invent, although academics form part of our overall hiring decision, we do not select candidates purely on academic performance. We will assess your suitability for a role using several tools including video interviewing and assessment centers (all currently being held virtually).

Learning & Development

When you enter the frog Academy, a heavy emphasis is placed on your development and being able to learn a variety of skills, craft-led expertise, and our frog essentials in a multitude of environments.

During the programme you will benefit from wider learning opportunities and can choose from a suite of training and accreditations including:

  • CRM (i.e. Salesforce – Associate, AI, Marketing)
  • Marketing (i.e. Adobe, Google Marketing Platform, Sprinklr)
  • UX/UI Design or Product Design (i.e. Prototyping, Usability Testing, Interaction Design)
  • Visual Design (i.e. Adobe Suite – Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
  • frog Essentials (i.e. Journey Mapping, Design Thinking, Storytelling)
  • Agile (i.e. Scrum Master, Product Owner, Technical Delivery Management)
  • Craft-Led Methods and Foundational Training

What you can expect

The pond is an eclectic place, full of frogs with varied interests, skills and expertise. Working alongside a world-class team with a wealth of consulting and industry experience, you will begin to create relationships across the organisation and acquire a foundation of consulting skills, tools and methodologies to help you accelerate your career. You will be part of a project team, building trust-based relationships at the heart of a client’s organisation, helping them change the way they work and transforming their business to achieve their goals. You’ll get early responsibility and build your skills through interesting and challenging work.

Working at frog means being empowered to Make Your Mark on every project, in your studio, your community – and the world at large.

January 2022 Intake

The Institute and the frog Academy have served as an exceptional foundation for launching my career in consulting. These institutions provided a safe learning environment for me to gain valuable experience and build confidence before taking on my first client engagement. Moreover, the unwavering support from the community around me fostered a culture of growth, enthusiasm, and collaboration, greatly enhancing my learning journey and overall experience. Throughout my projects, my colleagues provided invaluable support by imparting best practices in service design and user research. They took the time to explain their methodologies and reasoning, equipping me with the skills and insights necessary to apply these approaches effectively in future engagements.

The frog Academy has provided me with a highly enriching experience, allowing me to work on diverse projects like the CX-Enabling Architecture and Complaints Reduction Programme for global retail and utilities clients. Taking ownership of deliverables and regularly engaging with clients has significantly enhanced my stakeholder management skills. I’ve also contributed to internal initiatives, such as developing content for senior leadership, completing Research Hub projects, and actively participating in networks like REN (Race & Equality Network). This has expanded my network and strengthened my research, storyboarding, and presentation skills. The Academy offers invaluable exposure and hands-on experience crucial for becoming a successful consultant, and the collaborative, supportive environment at frog makes the journey even more rewarding.
