Bedeutung
Changing an earlier decision.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Danes value 'omstillingsparathed' (readiness to change). Changing your mind is often seen as a positive trait of being flexible. In Danish meetings, the 'best argument' wins, regardless of hierarchy. A boss changing their mind is respected. Danish politics is based on compromise. 'At skifte mening' is a tool for negotiation. It's polite to explain *why* you changed your mind to avoid appearing flaky.
