Overview

The brief

VOIS 2024 needed to make DE&I tangible as innovation infrastructure across three partner organizations. We produced a hybrid dialogue system — narrative design, interactive polling, bilingual interpretation, and broadcast-grade execution — so Isuzu, Volvo, and UD Trucks teams could align on “diversity of opinion” as an operational advantage.

Challenge / Transformation / Impact

The work

01 / Challenge

Cross-corporate partnerships often struggle to turn DE&I from shared values into day-to-day behaviors that support real innovation. The challenge was designing an event that builds psychological safety and gives participants concrete tools to work across organizational boundaries.

02 / Transformation

YF designed the event narrative and program structure around the frame "DE&I = Innovation," including two panel discussion frameworks, an executive dialogue model, and a hybrid production system that kept remote and in-room participants equally engaged throughout.

03 / Impact

VOIS 2024 delivered a repeatable hybrid event model for cross-border culture alignment, giving participants concrete language and scenarios for honesty, inclusion, and collaborative decision-making. The format gave partner organizations a shared experience to build on in future cycles.
