Catalan term or phrase: dóna 5 característiques de com plantejaries
This is a document relating to a session on business innovation, and participants are being asked to describe how they would collect and share knowledge...

I am struggling with the combination of "característiques" and "plantejar" in this sentence:

"Dóna almenys 5 característiques de com plantejaries un sistema de recopilar i compartir coneixement per a la Innovació en la teva organització"

Many thanks, as ever!

I think it's just awkwardly written.

I think that literally it would be what you say, but that strikes me as very convoluted. I think its likely that they just mean five characteristics of the system. If you could confirm this with the author, I guess that would be ideal.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Ross Thanks (again!)... so, it is "characteristics of a system you would propose" rather than "characteristics of how you would propose/approach", which is how I read it but without it making much sense to me. (hence the Kudoz question)

Asker: OK, thanks a lot Ross

state five ways that you would organise a system...


Explanation:
for gathering and sharing knowledge...."

Just in case you want an alternative that reads the text the way you originally read it. I certainly agree that the original is badly expressed.

describe 5 features of the setting up of a system you would implement....


Explanation:
Hi, I would go for this. The last part (you would implement) is to relate better the "setting up" to the Catalan "plantejaries", which is more direct.
