I generally just try to explain this term (usually along the lines of "capacity to implement" something) but a client insists that there must be a more "powerful and concise" way to say this. Any ideas?
Example sentence:
"[Company] ønsker bredt samarbeid og økt gjennomføringskraft."
Thank you!
Example sentence:
"[Company] ønsker bredt samarbeid og økt gjennomføringskraft."
Thank you!

Only the third one is more concise, but the first two are more "powerful", in my opinion.
