German term or phrase: ausziehen
"Die internen Coaching-Konzepte setzen sich in der Regel intensiver und nachhaltiger mit den Interessen und Bedingungen der Organisation auseinander. Sie können so auch einen besonderen Nutzen ***aus der Organisation ziehen*** und für die Organisation erbringen."

I realize it normally means to "draw out," (and other synonyms) but in this context, I'm not sure how a coaching approach could draw benefits out of an organisation... bring to, yes, but draw out? Is there another way of interpreting this phrase?

capitalize
Explanation:
Internal resources are often better in the know of an organisational structure. They are fully integrated personally, technologically, and otherwise. As a result they are able to provide a quicker turn around on the coaching investment. It is cheaper, faster setup, etc. - provided the skills and resources are available.

  -> Dankeschön, Harald, frohes Schaffen.
neutral  Edith Kelly: hallo Brigitte, wie bringst du das denn im Satz unter? Benefit from ... and bring back the benefit to ....?
2 hrs
  -> Ich würde wohl schreiben: "at the same time benefit from and deliver benefit to ...".
agree  Horst Huber (X): I sense you would need to use a phrase like "and in return" to make it work. The question should be rephrased "aus ... ziehen".
5 hrs
  -> Thank you Horst - "in return" seems a good solution. Hm, yes, it has nothing to do with getting undressed. ;-) Have a pleasant afternoon.
agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: benefit from and give back to

draw


Explanation:
The concepts of internal coaching generally quite intensively and durably respond to (or address) the interests and conditions of the organization. Thus they can draw particular benefits from the organization as well as contributing benefits to it.
(I went with the plural, because "benefit" is harder to work-in idiomatically in English.)

The use of "draw" has the advantage of being quite faithful to the author, if as a translator you value such things.

draw upon


Explanation:
It might help to change the translation of Nutzen to something like "advantage(s)" or "strong point(s)":
"Thus they can also draw upon/build upon and extend the organization's strong points."
I don't see a way to do this preserving the singular noun in English.
