Bedeutung
Knowing the whole situation.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians value 'selvstendighet' (independence). Employees are expected to 'ha oversikt' over their own work without a manager checking in constantly. The focus on digital transparency (like open tax records) is designed to give the public 'oversikt' over society. In Norwegian meetings, 'oversikt' is often presented via 'punktlister' (bullet points) to ensure clarity and avoid wasting time. The 'Fjellvettreglene' (Mountain Code) emphasize having 'oversikt' over weather and terrain to prevent accidents.
The Preposition Rule
If you remember nothing else, remember 'oversikt OVER'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers.
Professionalism
In a job interview, saying 'Jeg er flink til å skaffe meg oversikt' is a very strong selling point in Norway.

Don't over-use it
Don't use it for simple things. 'Jeg har oversikt over eplet mitt' (I have an overview of my apple) sounds like you are a scientist studying the apple.
