Tech/Engineering - Management / Idea Management
German term or phrase: Lauschangriff
In einer Überschrift heißt es:
Lauschangriff auf eine bis heute verkannte Erfolgsquelle (sic)

Es geht um das Konzept "Ideenmanagement".
Im Text heißt es: Es gutes Vorschlagswesen ist gleichzeitig Ausdruck einer guten Kommunikation im Betrieb, eines sehr guten Verständnisses für betriebliche Abläufe und eines sehr guten Verständnisses für Veränderungen.
That's it - no more context.

Es ist mir klar, dass ich mit "bugging" oder "eavesdropping" nicht weiterkomme, weil man "Quellen" nicht "belauschen" kann. Also umschreiben - aber wie???

TIA for suggestions

A secondary possibility:
Results 1 - 10 of about 81 for "keeping one's ear to the ground"
This is also not as intrusive as 'eavesdropping' or 'bugging' and might be OK in the context but is in a lower register.

I selected the second suggestion: keeping an ear to the ground for this particular context, but as a general translation, I find "active listening campaign" very helpful. Thank you!

Explanation:
I'm not sure I've fully understood the context, but I wonder if this picks up the sense of "Lauschangriff" without the negative connotations.
