Text is the annual report of research institute X. This comes up in the heading of the HR section and is followed by a summary of the section content.
Ressources humaines : mieux gérer pour mieux anticiper

Can't think of anything 'punchy' enough for a heading so any ideas welcome to get the old creative juices flowing!

Comment: "I quite like your forewarned is forearmed suggestion too. My husband came up with 'staying one step ahead', which isn't bad either. Thanks, everyone."

better managed means better prepared
I'm not so sure of "better managed", but I think "better prepared" is what could be taken from "mieux anticiper".

Be ready with better management
C'est juste une idée
Cela fait aussi un peu "catching" comme il faut pour un titre.
Si on est prêt, on peut anticiper !?!

planning for perfection
My two cents!

better management for a brighter future
another possibility

better, more proactive management
So long as "proactive" hasn't been overworked and gone out of fashion.

managing better to be ready for any thing
At least a little but punchy.

better management, a clearer vision
Hello,
I think this is how this title would read naturally in English.
You could put a "for" instead of the comma, but I don't prefer it.
I hope this helps.

The idea is that if a company/segment of a company is better managed, it will have a better sense of what to expect in the future (better forecasting, prepared for harder times). So, in essence, you're just saying that the company will have a clearer vision of where it's headed if indeed it's better managed

BTW you can find lots of ideas if you google "better * better" – e.g., "better management better" or "better planning better"
