Use a Text to Column tools and select a space bar as a delimiter.

 

and if you find this helpful mark it as accepted solution

I assume you may have another row that does not contain 'diversifying' and you want to avoid that. 

 

1. use the formula tool and add new column with formula contains[Name] = ''diversifying''. 

2. Use Summarize tool to sum data. group by newly added column.

Here is dynamic solution using Fuzzy matching this should work for different common word changes.
