The ASD is a body of individual members and applicants who, in their daily lives, work in organisational development. Members and applicants specifically chose the ASD for working across borders within the scientific spiritual field.
We do this by:
Exchanging Ideas
Organisational development work is non-standard. We need each other to exchange ideas on how to facilitate our clients in an ever changing context. Conversing on a theoretical and practical level is an important part of our yearly meeting.
Deepening the roots of our work
The ASD stems from the work of Bernard Lievegoed who continued on the findings of Rudolf Steiner. Lievegoed was the founder of the NPI in the Netherlands, a consultant practice collective in Zeist. The NPI now no longer exists. The ASD is the continuation of the NPI as an association in a non-commercial entity.
Cooperating with each other in working with clients
When working with clients we might appreciate working with colleagues with other skill sets than our own, but who also work from the same philosphy and theory of man. Whatever the situation, the ASD is a community in which we can work together on our clients’ matters with the same philosophy.
Strengthening the spiritual and ethical bases of our work
At the ASD we believe that the inner life of man and the spiritual world want to connect. We also believe that human development exists through collaboration. We bring these beliefs into practice with (group)conversations, theoretical and explorative exercises inspired by the conference theme. A highlight of the conference is a guest speaker who is exercising the same beliefs in the business environment.
Connecting to the regional orientation..
ASD members work together intercontinentally and within regions. When deemed needed by the members a regional ASD meeting will be held. Do you want to know if ASD members are active in your region?
…With a global consciousness
Many ASD members and applicants work with international clients. We and our clients are influenced by global factors, therefore our awareness is global. In between the annual conferences project groups are initiated to support each other in our day to day work. We value the fact that these groups are unobstructed by boarders and travel.
