Bedeutung
Moving forward in a process.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Danish business culture, 'taking the step further' often involves a flat hierarchy where the 'step' is discussed and agreed upon by the whole team, not just the boss. There is a strong emphasis on 'life-long learning'. Taking the step further often refers to adult education or changing careers later in life. In international contexts, Danes use this phrase to signal readiness for globalization, often moving from a 'Nordic' mindset to a 'Global' one. Danes are known for being pragmatic about relationships. 'Taking the step further' often means moving in together (samlever) rather than immediate marriage.
