The spiss- need (to) be reflected, whether in cutting*-*edge expertise or otherwise.
There used to be an era about 40 years ago where almost every Norwegian company's annual report referred to 'possessing' a kompetansesentrum, routinely translatable as 'centre of expertise' until 'capability center' started taking hold in the USA and India.
