Explanation: I did some thinking about that is meant with 'slagvaardig' in the context of an organisation. It is a word often used to indicate that an organisation is not too bureaucratic to act fast when needed. Often this is a problem in the kind of organisations NGOs have. It should be decisive, alert, and does not waste much time on internal procedures.
Words that are close to slagvaardig in Dutch are besluitvaardig, daadkrachtig. These words share an emphasis on action. So I guess an organisation that has an emphasis on action is action-oriented.
Explanation: I suppose what they mean is that the organistion is ready lways ready to fight to e.g. attract new customers, keep old ones, etc... OR ready to deliver what is asked for (no matter what it takes)

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
