Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / Company strategy
Danish term or phrase:
Falde-over-muligheder-strategi
En "Falde-over-muligheder"-strategi holder ikke i en professionel verden.
No idea how this translates - 'fall-over options' strategy? Advice appreciated!

Ideas over options
Explanation:
Falde doesnt mean fall in this context, it is closer to "ideas right now".

So the sentence would be \"An \'Ideas-over-options\' stratagy doesnt work in the prodessional world.\"

Why did the menu change?
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
More information on the changes...
Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
I cannot find something
If you are having trouble finding something with the new menu, please
