German term
vernetzt zu begegnen
German to English
Social Sciences
Education / Pedagogy
Coaching
The word "vernetzt" has been translated several times in proz.com but I still have trouble with this use of the word. Does it mean holistically in this context? The expression occurs in the description of a coaching service and its benefits. This is the context:
Diese nahtlose Verknüpfung von strategischem Consulting und Executive Coaching ermöglicht es Unternehmen und ihren führenden Köpfen, Herausforderungen **vernetzt zu begegnen** und damit der Komplexität des Alltags von Anfang an gerecht zu werden.
Suggestions or confirmation or rebuttal of my notion that this should be rendered as "holisitically" will be very helpful.

Comment: "I like this very much-revives the correct use of "concerted". Am not sure if this language is fashionable but I like it. Hope the customer does too. If not, can fall back on lirka's solution Thanks very much to both of you."

assume a multi/interdisciplinary approach to [challenges]
It DOES mean holistically, IMO and even a step further: vernetzt, meaning dealing with challenges in a multidisciplinary fashion...
Something went wrong...
