Dr. Andres Agostini was, over 17 years, thoroughly and unambiguously mentored by a NASA scientist, Dr. Vernon L. Grose , that is to say, NASA’s utterly right hand to Dr. Wernher von Braun , on top-notch, yet state-of-the-art (Systems-Based) “Enterprise Risk Management” through a formidable Systems-Based and Non-Theological Omniscience-Centric Approach, in order to bring critically challenged Operations under fundamental control, re-assuring maximum levels of OPERATIONALLY RELIABILITY at all times in real time.

Additionally, and changing the subject matter, Dr. Agostini, too, has a Scenario-Planning meeting with Royal Dutch Shell (Oil, Gas & Energy) CEO & Chairman at https://www.slideshare.net/MrAndresAgostiniAmer/shell-agostini.

Dr. Agostini thoroughly and unambigously underlines the following by Jeff Bezo’s Blue Origin, as literally follows: << *Gradatim Ferociter* is the motto of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. It means step by step, ferociously. According to Bezos, “If you’re building a flying vehicle, you can’t cut any corners. >> Nonetheless, to further underpin that indisputable objective, he incorporates – concerning his critical thinking, problem solving and beyond – completely, thoroughly unambiguously, the ensuing: << Furiously able to deal with complexity, ambivalence and ambiguity, swiftly! >>

(v) Andres give state-of-the-art practical and yet pracmatical fundamental solutions — around the globe — using advanced math, physics and engineering underpinned with NASA/DARPA-based tools of “Systems Thinking”. TO THIS END, Andres was mentored on systems-centric operational reliability (advanced industrial safety and state-of-the-art Operational Reliability) by NASA’s Dr. Wehrener Von Braun’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun) Dr. Vernon L. Grose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_L._Grose). Dr. Grose is Andres’ direct supervisor at Omega Systems Group Incorporated (www.omegainc.com), acting as OSGI’s [worldwide] Global Business Executive Associate.
 
Andres institutes such turnkey solutions in the tradition of non-partisan think tanks, in order to enhance the decision-making process and with the utter purpose of solving complex corporate, managerial, organizational, business and technical problems.

Andres is prolifically concentrated on many man-made and otherwise-induced risks, including existential risks. For man-made existential risks unrelated to the geometric progression of science and technology, Andres writes and speaks about the “…Disruptional Singularity…,” hoping that a responsible and positive Technological Singularity takes precedence.

Andres implements his fundamental, thorough and complete solutions regarding the framework, context and theater of operations for think tanks, multilaterals, supranationals, NGOs, as well as to for-profit enterprises and governmental institutions, whose core business is into: oil-and-energy, telecommunications, maritime, health-care, insurance, automotive, employee benefits, logistics, transport, consultancy and government.

Andres’ proprietary methodology treatise is White Swan Transformative and Integrative Risk Management (https://lifeboat.com/blog/2014/04/white-swan), a beyond-insurance enterprise risk management methodology developed by him. AND an on-topic update here. (https://lifeboat.com/blog/2014/05/white-swan-update-5)
 
He observes that his own approach ascertains, at all times, the practical application of womb-to-tomb actionable systems thinking and pragmatic execution with the applied omniscience perspective — via most pragmatic mechanical engineering — as it is understood, conceived and instituted by NASA, DARPA and the Industrial-Military Complex.

Other organizations that institute beyond-insurance methodologies include: OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), IBM and Manitoba Government Air Services.

He advises world-class institutions on dynamic driving forces (and how to beforehand cope with them and their counter-forces successfully and sustainably) in innovation, computing, financial services, health care, population (and demography), life sciences, energy, security, workforce, climate change, globalization. and exponential technologies.
