Dutch term or phrase: afkaderen/afkadering
"Deze bedrijfsbrede problematiek is afgekaderd door oplossingen te zoeken voor de afdeling projectmanagement, de projectmanager bewaakt het primaire proces en is verantwoordelijk voor een goede klantrelatie. Door de afbakening kunnen sneller kleine successen worden geboekt waardoor de motivatie hoog blijft."

From what I understood this kind of means the same as "afbakenen", but the suggestions of the Van Dale (mark out, define, demarcate, etc) don't seem to fit.

framed/framing


Explanation:
"Kader" is in most cases simply translated this way, so I think this can also be done here.

Example sentence(s):
  • In short, agency theory assumes consistent choice behavior across a variety of differently framed problems, and does not consider the important role of problem framing

Explanation:
These company-wide issues can be understood and dealt with as part of the solutions found for the project management department


ik begrijp "afkaderen" hier als "zicht en grip op iets krijgen door/in het kader van" (die oplossingen)



je kunt ook zeggen "moet/kan begrepen en aangepakt worden in het licht/kader van

of "heeft vorm gekregen en is hanteerbaar geworden door/in het kader van"
