Dutch term or phrase: verdere invulling
Het schrappen van 100 boektitels is een eerste stap in de reorganisatie van het productportfolio. "Dit is het begin van de verdere invulling van de reorganisatie."

Context: A publishing company is scrapping 100 titles as part of a major reorganisation.

Can anyone help with 'verdere invulling'?
Thanks!

Explanation:
You can often translate 'verdere invulling' as 'exact details' (etc.), e.g. 'de verdere invulling van het beleid hangt van een aantal factoren af' = 'the exact details of the policy will depend on a number of factors'. However, this approach doesn't work satisfactorily in your sentence. On closer inspection, the phrase 'verdere invulling' appears to be redundant.

So how about: 'this is the start of reorganisation process'?

agree  jarry (X): Also with Chris' comments. This is a good example of Dutch verbosity. Especially beginners tend to look at every word in the source text as if it were worth its weight in gold, whereas the meaning is what really matters

agree  MoiraB: Agree that it adds nothing here. Often with 'invulling' you have to stand back and try and get the bigger picture.

disagree  Hilde Hoven: It sound to me like some steps have already taken place in the reorganisation process. I would translate "verdere invulling", but then I am not very experienced yet... :-) "start of the further realisation of the reorganisation"

  -> Hmmm... Personally, I feel that that approach adds too much emphasis to a phrase which is - to all intents and purposes - pretty much devoid of any semantic value in the source text. Just my two penn'orth.

realization of one more aspect of (the reorganisation process).


Explanation:
It seems that this is the first concrete action in the product porfolio reorganisation process (as part of a larger reorganisation process). "Verdere invulling" refers then to having to deal with one more subprocess. I have encountered this several times during a 10-year merger I was involved in.
