hacer uso del poder de


Explanation:
Es una palabra que me suena muy familiar, pero pensándolo luego de leer tu pregunta nunca supe como traducirla. Buscando un poco encontré ésta definición, que me pareció bastante acertada. Estoy de acuerdo con el autor del enlace, que no es la traducción mas elegante, y que puede parecer un poco larga, pero me parece muy apropiada. Espero que te sea de utilidad!

armonizar


Explanation:
El sentido de "armonizar" se acerca más a "leverage" y así evitamos utilizar la palabra "integrar" que yo reservaría para "integrated approach" .
La idea sería: "...una cultura...que armonice la planificación, las personas y la práctica...en un enfoque integrado...

potencia


Explanation:
Literalmente, "leverage" se refiere a usar una palanca para mover algo. Por tanto, sugiero "potencia" porque se pretende "mover" el enfoque integral mediante la planeación, las personas, y la práctica.
