French法语词条或短语： ...sur trois leviers
See context below. I have translated this (not literally) as: '..... on three levels' as I can't see a better way - even though I know it means 'levers' ...which can sometimes be used in a business sense. Can anyone make a better suggestion?

Les experts d’X proposent d’intervenir sur trois leviers
 Audit global énergétique pour définir les sources d’économies d’énergies potentielles.
 Maîtrise de la conduite pour optimiser l’adaptation entre la fourniture d’énergie et l’usage.
 Maintenance et fourniture pour maîtriser les quantités d’énergies consommées.

Well, I hate it, but I have to agree that it IS (sadly) what people would say in such a case - although I suppose by running with it I am adding fuel to the fire of yukky English. To me 'leverage' is a noun disguised as a nasty-sounding verb, and one that is probably used far too often in management-speak. I guess we don't always have to like it necessarily.

on three [performance] levers


说明：
I think levers would be fine here because, as you said, it is used often in management texts.

...that three levers be applied


说明：
More mgt jargon, of course, but for once, I feel, used reasonably appropriately. The idea of a lever, of course, is that relatively little effort at one end can cause a far greater effect at the other end.

The construction of "xxxx pour yyyy" actually reflects this for once (too often, one does see "levier" used when 'area' or 'key aspect' or similar is really more appropriate). Hence, for once, I see no reason not to stick relatively closely to the source.

So, I'd be tempted to go with:
"the experts (consultants?) suggest/propose that 3 levers be applied:
aaaa in order to bbbb
cccc in order to ddddd....."

The use of 'in order to' simply drives home the cause-effect aspect of the lever image.

Now I've had a much-needed kip, I wonder whether just "..propose that effort(s) be applied/directed to: aaaa in order to bbbb....etc." wouldn't have much the same impact, while removing the fairly ugly/clumsy 'lever' word entirely....
