Marketing - Manufacturing / manufacturing / products companies
English term or phrase: thought leadership
XYZ is uniquely positioned to deliver the thought leadership and technical expertise that manufacturing / products companies need to transform their business models and to broaden their markets.

I have found several hits for the term on German sites but I am not really happy. Can anyone "enlighten" me?

führende Ideen


Explanation:
I would change it a little around.
"...liefern die führenden Ideen und das technische Know-how (oder die technische Expertise)...".

Another way of editing this text would be to call them "Stand-der-Technik Ideen".
