Swedish term or phrase: Beställarfunktion
two contexts, same word. This is in regards to an HR department.

1. Beställarfunktionen
för chefs- och
ledarutveckling

2. Beställarfunktionen
för grund- fort-
och vidareutbildning

I know that this word usually translates as "orderer" or "client" but what sense does that make here??!

commissioner/commissioning
Explanation:
This was a solution I used for ´beställare´ some time ago in a text about social work, where nobody was ´ordering´anyone else to do anything, but in practice someone had to take the lead and decide what the others were supposed to do :-)
