To me, the term suggests a quality of high discipline rather than "pioneering" or "trailblazing."

Many thanks to all. Points go to Robert for having mentioned the word "trailblazing", which is the one I ultimately used, even though he suggested NOT to use it.

Explanation:
Por lo que he estado revisando al respecto y a la luz de mi propia experiencia (nunca he escuchado ese término en el lenguaje corporativo mexicano), tengo la idea de que tu texto originalmente provino de Brasil y luego lo tradujeron al español.

Mira cómo manejan aquí la relación entre "desbravadora" y "challenge": http://www.embratel.com.br/hotsites/relatorioanual/2003/

Espero que te dé una pequeña ayuda en tu búsqueda.
