Signification
To lose the right path.
Contexte culturel
Finns value 'suoruus' (straightness). Straying from the path is seen as inefficient. Similar values regarding focus and clarity exist in Sweden and Norway. The concept of 'michi' (the path) is central to many arts, making this metaphor very resonant. The 'off-track' metaphor is universal in corporate environments for project management.
