German translation:eingreifen

Explanation:
Ich denke, hier ist das "an die Wand klopfen, weil es zu laut ist" figurativ gemeint.
"Hier geht es um eine Rede eines leitenden Angestellten der sich zum Thema Qualität äußert und sagt der Herr xx wäre am ort der rede direkt an seiner Seite damit er "bang on the wall"

"Ich meine, man den Herrn XX direkt neben ihn platziert, damit er bei Bedarf eingreifen kann" (d.h. ihn zurechtweisen/korrigieren)
