Met ******* wordt in een korte tijd een diagnose gesteld van de gezondheid van een onderneming, zowel bedrijfskundig als veranderkundig.
VERANDERKUNDIG - I'm looking for a concise translation if it exists - management of change sounds a bit clumsy as certainly does change management.

in terms of change
zowel bedrijfskundig als veranderkundig = in terms of management and change
PS: Change is big business in business. I wouldn't have too many scruples about using 'management of change' or even 'change management' either. In 'Total Quality Management' [John S. Oakland, ISBN 0 89397 386 6] there's a whole chapter devoted to and titled 'Implementation of TQM and the management of change'. The 'International Dict. of Management' [Johannsen/Page] has an entry for 'change agent', defined as: third person, acting as a catalyst, who assists in the achievement of the smooth introduction and implementation of change'.

a little more literally: zowel bedrijfskundig als veranderkundig = in terms of management as well as change

Dutch term (edited):
zowel bedrijfskundig als veranderkundig
both from a management perspective and the need for any change
rephrasing may well be needed to get the idea across

Chris Hopley
: Yup, "need for change" is def. the way to go here. The Dutch is very wordy. I would be inclined to rephrase as: "We will diagnose the health of your business and signal any areas where change is needed" (o.i.d.).

: Both "the need for any change" and Chris's "any areas where change is needed" are far too mild! With "veranderen" a transition is definitely underway - it is by no means merely an assessment, an audit or something like that ...

well let's see what the others say - the text clearly refers to diagnosis so I consider your rendering to be jumping the gun a little personally. Thanks for the input. Keep well

ability to meet new business needs/conditions
Another option to put in the pot of the previous answers:
skill or proficiency with change . . . Thus, the health of the company, in terms of both operation/management and its ability to adapt to or meet new requirements of the business or industry.

This may be: skill or proficiency in handling change, both change within the company as well as change in response to new conditions exterior to it . . .
Here are a few notes from the internet on this word:
Veranderkundig werken vraagt om leiderschap waarin verschillende dimensies aanwezig zijn. Visionair, strategisch, persoonlijk en beheersmatig leiderschap, zijn allen belangrijk in een zekere balans met elkaar. (http://www.condact.nl/condact_leiderschap_veranderkunde.htm)

: I think it's the management itself that's changing here. That's not necessarily the case (and usually wouldn't be, I think) when it comes to management of change in an organisation.
