Advertising / Public Relations / job advert
Norwegian term or phrase: helhetsforståelse
Job advert. Sentence: Det er samtidig stort krav til helhetsforståelse da nettopp det er svaert viktig for prosessene og ved feilsituasjoner.
What precisely is meant by this word do you think? 'Total understanding' (or similar) sounds a bit odd in an English job advert.
Advice appreciated!
