Some references there.

I'm really confident about this one if the topic is business process related. I used to work for a blue chip company in Japan, and transparency was one of the business buzz words at the time. It was almost always translated into 可視化. I also saw it as 見える化 at times.

agree  Naikei Wong: Also possible indeed. But if what follow are really some diagrams/figures, the interpretation could be much more literal.

  -> Thanks. Yes if a process map follows the statement I could see how it could be "visualization" as well. I'll stick to my transparancy though with the given information!

agree  michiko tsum (X): I agree with Naikei and your comment to him.
