Testimonials
For more than 20 years, I have known and highly recommended Diana Sandoiu-Acsente, D.Sc., for her functional expertise as a knowledgeable, Systems thinking Consultant/Analyst. But Dr. Acsente brings the added dimension of an insightful Coach capable of discerning the Human/Social behavioral facets of her clientele. Her dissertation research was conducted using the Grounded Theory approach through data systemically gathered and analyzed. Those analyses required that she immerse herself in the daily lives and routines of those being studied. These immersions, which she continues to perform superbly, have raised Dr. Acsente into a rare Consultant "grounded" in Human behavioral sensitivities.
Francesco Calabrese
President at ExMG International Inc.
Diana brings intelligence and passion to the knowledge management discipline despite the local obstacles inhibiting her efforts. She engages with clarity and precision to achieve value objectives beyond stakeholder expectations.
Diana was instrumental in directly supporting a specialized team effort charged with formulating the foundational basis for the corporate process framework to achieve repeatable operations with clear measures and metrics. This short acknowledgment is insufficient to describe the unbounded energy and talent Diana brings to the job.
