Signification
Thinking of something clever.
Contexte culturel
In Denmark's flat hierarchy, anyone is expected to 'få en god idé'. It's not just the boss's job. This is part of 'medarbejderindflydelse' (employee influence). While having a good idea is great, don't brag too much. Use 'Jeg fik en god idé' with a tone of helpfulness rather than superiority. The phrase is central to the history of Danish design. Icons like LEGO were built on 'den gode idé' of a modular toy. Danish schools focus on 'problemorienteret projektarbejde', where the main goal is for students to 'få idéer' and solve problems together.
