Spanish term or phrase: plantearse / plantear
this is one of those words that I always have trouble with, and when it is used reflexively, I get even more confused.
Since it is the opening slide of a marketing presentation, I want to get it spot on...
What would you "magos" put?

Thanks!

sorry, obviously that includes the "a partir de" as well. We tend to keep things simple in English, and the Spanish seem to love "plumping" sentences up
