A Dawn for Adaptive Organisations
2026 Global LeSS Conference Japan / LeSS’ Yoaké ASIA 2026
In October 2026, the Global LeSS community comes together in Japan.
Yoaké (夜明け) means dawn — the moment just before everything becomes visible. It’s a fitting metaphor for where many organisations stand today: sensing change, feeling pressure from AI and accelerating markets, but still searching for clarity.
The Global LeSS Conference is where experienced practitioners, leaders, and thinkers meet to explore what really makes organisations adaptive and resillient at scale. Together with LeSS’ Yoaké ASIA, rooted in Japanese and Asian practice, this edition brings global insight and local experience together in one place.
This is not a conference about frameworks or hype.
It is about learning systems, organisational design, and flow — the foundations that make organisations resilient, adaptive, and ready for whatever comes next, such as AI.
