Bedeutung
Resolving a difficulty.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Dugnad' spirit often requires finding solutions to practical problems as a group without a clear boss. The 'Jante Law' (Janteloven) can sometimes mean that 'finding a solution' should be a humble process, not a way to show off. Flat hierarchy in Norwegian offices means anyone, not just the boss, is expected to 'finne en løsning'. Norway's minority governments rely on 'finding solutions' across party lines constantly.
