Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Steffen Walter: identifying [identification of] appropriate/related actions (to be taken)

agree  Ingeborg Gowans (X): with this little context, that would be my understanding, too
56 mins
agree  Paul Cohen: Yes. The German use of "ableiten" often sounds scientific - as if some kind of mysterious formula were involved. Pinpointing, determining, identifying (etc.) measures should work here.
