English term or phrase: head-scratcher
Bonjour,

J'ai beaucoup de difficultés à traduire cette expression. Je comprend le sens mais, impossible pour moi de trouver un équivalent en français.
Voici la phrase complète : "Despite the industry press and marketing and technology conference hype, mobile is not highlighted as a major ‘head-scratcher’ for CMOs. "

Le contexte est le résultat d'une étude marketing sur l'impact du numérique.

Merci pour votre aide
