Welcome to Asia Organization Development Network

In a period characterized by rapid technological advancements, economic changes, and complex global challenges, organizations across Asia are navigating an unprecedented landscape of transformation. The demand for practical, sustainable, and culturally sensitive strategies for organizational development (OD) has never been more urgent. Leading this transformative effort is the Asia Organization Development Network (AODN), registered in Illinois in 2006, a leading professional community dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of OD within the Asian context. Founded on the belief that organizations are the core units of societal progress, AODN serves as an essential hub for practitioners, leaders, scholars, and consultants committed to fostering healthy, adaptable, and effective organizations throughout the region.

The AODN’s mission is diverse and important. It seeks to create a lively learning community where members can share cutting-edge knowledge, innovative practices, and deep experiential wisdom. Unlike generic international organizations, AODN has a clear advantage: its focused attention on the unique cultural, economic, and social dynamics of Asia. The network understands that solutions cannot be simply copied from the West; they must be co-created and customized to fit local values, business environments, and leadership styles. By providing a platform for this nuanced dialogue, AODN hosts an annual international conference with a prestigious university in an Asian country, ensuring that OD interventions are not only theoretically sound but also practically applicable and respectful of Asia’s diverse cultures.
