Nõuandlik

Nõuandlik is an Estonian word that translates to "advisory" or "consultative" in English. It describes a role or a function that provides advice, recommendations, or guidance without having direct decision-making authority. In various contexts, a nõuandlik body or individual offers expert opinions and insights to inform the decisions of others.

For example, a nõuandlik committee might be established to assist a government ministry in developing policy. This committee would consist of specialists who can offer their knowledge and perspectives on a particular issue. However, the final decision on whether to implement the suggested policies would rest with the ministry itself, not the nõuandlik committee. Similarly, a nõuandlik role in a company might involve a senior employee providing mentorship and strategic advice to a junior colleague, helping them navigate challenges and develop their skills. The essence of nõuandlik is to contribute expertise and counsel to support a more informed and effective decision-making process.
