Medical - Medical (general)
Danish term or phrase: Rykke
I am struggling to figure out what rykke means in this sentence.

From an MBA on management/organisation.
Specifically a plan on how to improve workplace culture among staff in a prison:


Måned 2-6: De tværfaglige møder igangsættes omkring de indsatte (bilag 3).
Måned 4-8: Workshops omkring hvor vigtig en samfundsrolle anstalten udfører.
Måned 8-14: Fælles evaluering af de tværfaglige møder omkring de indsatte: “Rykker arbejdet noget”

Any help much appreciated!

English translation:move/change/achieve
Explanation:
Did the work move/change achieve anything - something along those lines? I assume it is referring back to the work of the two session they have had.

Rykke (frem) arbejdet noget
To nudge along the work a bit; give the project a bit of a nudge


Explanation:
I can't see that this is medical, unless occupational-therapeutic.

Rykke can mean postpone, but we may have a 'nudge-along' scenario here.

Example sentence(s):
  • For instance, political segments may create variance with regard to how a given nudge will work and how.
