giocare d'anticipo
Italian to English
Art/Literary
Qualche madrelingua inglese sa darmi qualche idea su come tradurre questo modo di dire? Si parla di strategie aziendali, dove "giocare d'anticipo", ovviamente, significa innovare ancor prima che se ne crei l'esigenza, o qualcosa del genere.

proactive
La soluzione è 'proactive', una parole molto in modo nel mondo di business oggi e la puo usare con tutti sostantivi o con un verbio.

It's not a literal translation, but this phrase is so common (and abused) in this kind of document that I think you might want to sprinkle it in there anyway :-)

I believe this is more in line with the figure of speech used in Italian, even if any of our suggestions could be used.
