French term or phrase: trajectoire de capitalisation
I have been translating a text on "capitalisation", and after a while I realized that I had been translating the word "capitalisation" wrong, in as much we were talking about capitalizing on experience, or knowledge accumulation. Hence my difficultihng in translating the expression "trajectoire de capitalisation "

Ex "On peut évaluer une trajectoire de capitalisation à plusieurs niveaux de la gestion des résultats "

roadmap for knowledge capitalisation


Explanation:
"Après presque six ans d’accompagnement des trajectoires de capitalisation de la BTC et en évaluant le rôle joué par les experts KIT, il est possible de présenter ici les capacités requises d’un animateur ou facilitateur d’un tel processus, la façon d’animer et de motiver."

accompagnement des trajectoires de capitalisation
=
supporting/facilitating roadmaps for capitalisation of know-how / knowledge (i.e. turning knowledge in a form of capital)

This sounds to me like like a planned / purposeful "trajectoire" so it would be a "road-map".

OTOH, if there is no teleological element in these "trajectoires" - i.e. if they just happened to happen the way they happened - then it would be simply "paths to ...", but my hunch is that it's far less likely - you don't "accumulate knowledge" by pure accident.

Only CL3 as it's based on a rather limited fragment of the ST,

disagree  Daryo: 1 - they are talking of knowledge as capital, not of that kind of capital 2 - confusing "the return on capital" with "the capital itself" is nonsense, for ANY type of capital! (like confusing the tree and the fruits!)
