This is from a CV - "god til at skabe overblik ved planlægning"
('Overview' or 'perspective' don't work on this one, as I see it. Overblik here is more practical than seeing the bigger perspective. And English-speakers don't use the word 'overview' very much. Any ideas?)

see the whole/wider picture
´Able to present the whole picture´ or ´the wider picture´ when planning.
This is an English expression that largely means the same as the Danish, and I agree, overview is not nearly as common as the ubiquitous overblik!
Overview simply does not register in the same way in many contexts.
´Overarching´ fits sometimes, but strikes me as just as vague and ´translated´ as ´overview´.
