Furthermore, crossed training and technical indoctrinations at first-rate, global corporations are in due place.
Mr. Agostini is a corporate, cross-functional strategy consultant/analyst/manager and thinker with a multidimensional vista of the world of risk and its concurrent administration. He has addressed major advisory services to high-ranking executives from GE (General Electrics) and Abbot Laboratories, both in the U.S. In a persistent, recursive search for cutting-edge, applied knowledge --consistent with this new era of swirling change (chaos), researching (ongoing) these topics has been a major, prevalent endeavor of his everyday activities.
He has also been engaged in independent consultancy/management services pertaining to (i) business innovation, (ii) management transformation, (iii) performance enhancement, (iv) organizational strategies, (v) systems thinking, (vi) outsourcing, (vii) transformational risk management, (viii) change stewardship (impact management), (ix) crisis and emergency administration, (x) scenario planning, (xi) organizational effectiveness, (xii) healthcare systems (delivery), and (xiii) intercultural counseling for top executives.In addition to those aforementioned, Mr. Agostini has had institutional/corporate clients such as the World Bank, Toyota, and Mitsubishi Motors plus Lloyd's of London (London, U.K.), Williams & Company [U.S.].
Other clients include, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA, Citgo's parent company), and its subsidiary companies. It can too be cited LAGOVEN (formerly EXXON in Venezuela), MARAVEN (formerly SHELL in Venezuela), CORPOVEN (a fully integrated petroleum company, stemming from the merger of several American and British oil producers), INTEVEP (PDVSA's R&D), BARIVEN (PDVSA's trader, based in Caracas and Houston, USA), CARBOZULIA (PDVSA's coal company), PALMAVEN (PDVSA's agribusiness company), INTERVEN (PDVSA's division for the internationalization expansion of the group of companies), and PEQUIVEN (PDVSA's petrochemical operation).

His professional experience has been mainly gained within the U.S. and the U.K. and through American, British corporations as well as those from Japan, Canada, Spain, Brazil, Venezuela, and Indonesia.He has devoted himself to the advancement in new practices of management per se and holistic, “transformative risk management” (TRM). He has published some of his works on the World Wide Web.
He is dedicated to developing and constantly enhancing many "knowledge/skill transfers" events as per his lines of practice.To Mr. Agostini, a "solution" is in no way a "quick fix," but a "fundamental, continuing, evolutionary, optimum solution."
A more fundamental solution is even a more holistic one, especially when it is practiced/rendered/sustained systematically and systematically. Some people mistakenly associate "solutions" (optimum and on-going) to "quick fixes" (sub-optimum and always discontinued).
His global sophistication has allowed him to walk across several complex frameworks (clients, disciplines, industries, practices, methods, approaches, teams, cultures) to get the client a set of unique, effective responses adequate to his/her expectations.
Beyond methodologies such as Total Quality Assurance, Kaisen, Six Sigma, and other Multidimensional, [omni-mode] Cross-Functional methodologies compiled in one multi-procedure, Mr. Agostini believes that corporate strategies must be reinforced--at all times-- with applied, evolutionary "Systems Thinking," and other novelties from the utmost determined "organizational learning" and “learning self” stance.
