and demanding (see below) Explanation: The slogan would seem to say that these people are agile, flexible etc. but without sacrificing the attention to precision and detail (to pinch a phrase from Francis' answer). I'd envisage, in the slogan, something with adjectives.... "agile, flexible (if those are the words you want to use) but/and also demanding" For the second occurrence, I'd use demands - the demands of industry |

tight... Explanation: Obviously, it depends how far you can stray from the source text, but something like "A tight ship with an agile, flexible crew" might work for a slogan. If not: Agility and flexibility within a tight/solid/sturdy framework |
