Lafool to Exhibit at '2nd Ideal Manager EXPO'; Showcasing AI-Powered Management Support Solution

Lafool Inc. (Headquarters: Nissin Building 7F, 2-9-5 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Keita Yuki, President) will exhibit at the 2nd Ideal Manager EXPO, held within the 25th Tokyo General Affairs, HR, and Accounting Week, from June 17 (Wed) to 19 (Fri), 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight (Booth: E40-11, East Hall 8).

Human resources and management teams are increasingly reporting that training and policies for strengthening management feel temporary and ineffective. At this exhibition, Lafool will feature 'Lafool Management,' a solution that combines data from over 2,300 companies accumulated through 'Lafool Survey'—a tool that visualizes the root causes of organizational challenges—with AI to support the continuous growth cycle of managers.

Visitors can experience demonstrations of the service, which can be difficult to grasp from materials alone. Direct, face-to-face discussions allow for tailored proposals based on industry characteristics and specific organizational challenges. We invite all those interested in solving HR and organizational issues to visit our booth.

The 'Management Crisis' in Japanese Corporations Managers today face an increasingly harsh environment: stricter harassment regulations, a more diverse workforce, overtime work restrictions, and the rise of generative AI. These factors have left many managers feeling stuck. Persol Research and Consulting has identified the 'punishment-gameification of management' as a top HR trend for 2026.

The reality is even more severe: - 75% of management and CHROs feel there is a 'lack of management capability.' - 95.6% of frontline managers feel the 'difficulty and burden of management.' - 68.8% of companies that implemented training measures found them to be 'temporary, ineffective, or unclear.'

Furthermore, according to a 2025 Gallup study, Japanese employee engagement is at a world-low level of 6%. Manager engagement has also declined from 30% to 27% in 2024, indicating that organizational stagnation is a structural issue that cannot be solved by blaming individual managers.

Lafool Management Philosophy: 'Don't Blame, Don't Penalize, Don't Cause Confusion' Lafool provides 'Lafool Management,' a solution designed with the philosophy of 'don't blame managers, don't penalize, don't cause confusion,' to equip all managers with standardized management skills through AI and structural support.

'Lafool Management' is a total solution providing AI advice learned from over 300 million organizational data points, surveys that capture status through both quantitative and qualitative means, and dedicated consultant support. By connecting the growth cycle—'Stance Formulation -> Visualization -> GAP Analysis -> Continuous Support -> Training'—it ensures that training, surveys, and AI insights do not end up as isolated tasks but lead to actual skill retention.

For managers: Eliminate management indecision, resolve communication gaps, and create opportunities for team challenges. For team members: Enhance the sense of being recognized, leading to higher engagement, agency, and collective efficacy.

This synergy of 'conviction' and 'satisfaction' fosters high psychological safety and rapid execution speed within teams. Our booth will feature demo experiences for 'Lafool Management' and 'Lafool Survey,' along with individual consultation opportunities.
