Signification
Spotting a chance to succeed.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'dugnad' (community volunteer work) often involves people 'seeing opportunities' to improve their local neighborhood together. Flat hierarchy means even junior employees are expected to 'se muligheter' and suggest improvements to their bosses. While traditionally you shouldn't brag, 'seeing an opportunity' is now a socially acceptable way to express ambition without sounding arrogant. Norwegian athletes, especially in skiing, are praised for their 'blikk' (vision) and ability to 'se muligheter' in the terrain.
