recalibrate
I was looking for streamlining but came across recalibrate at the same time:
The Steering Board welcomed the opportunity to meet with UNMIBH, OSCE, UNHCR, UNDP, IMF and World Bank to recalibrate and streamline the international civilian implementation effort in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Innovation policy in Europe
In order to increase the innovativeness and competitiveness of the Dutch economy, the Minister for Economic Affairs (EZ) has decided to modernise, or 'recalibrate', the financial innovation instruments

The current framework is weighted too much towards the regions at one end and neighbourhoods at the other. We need to recalibrate to put a stronger focus around cities and city-regions. That would make democratic and economic sense

: doesn't this sound dangerously like "Eurospeak" to you?

sorry but it sounds like what is written and there are lots of examples of it for politics. Perhaps it's a new buzz word; not one that I would normally use myself...

| agree |
Tony M
: I agree with CMJ's sentiment, but note that its use in this sort of sense is widespread on the Net, and not confined to Eurospeak-type contexts; seems to be a buzzword in this sort of context
