French to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Management / déclinaison
French term or phrase: déclinaison
la phrase:
... vous assure une parfaite corrélation entre les décisions de la Direction et leur " déclinaison auprès des équipes "
Je comprend que dans cette phrase cela veut dire ' de faire descendre les décisions de la Direction vers les équipes de travail'
Quelqu'un ou quelqu'une aurait-il/elle une proposition de traduction pour "déclinaison" dans ce contexte ?
Merci de votre aide.

Explanation:
"...perfect adequation between the Management's decisions and their passing on to the teams..." - Just an idea, can't think of another translation this minute... Don't like "forwarding" or "transmission", "communication" ! :-)
