nålestiksoperation

Danish to English Bus/Financial Management
Dagen blev en stor succes, hvor vi havde held til at gennemføre vores ”nålestiksoperation” som forandrings facilitatorer i organisationen, trods det korte indflyvnings og forberedelsesforløb til opgaven.

pinprick operation

I guess this is what is meant (Laparoscopic surgery; keyhole surgery would be in a medical context)

pinprick strategy

My first thought was laparoscopy too, but with the mixed metaphors (flying) and the prospect of applying it to a whole organisation, this does not sound like medicine to me.

(Assuming you chose the right subject category too).

A strategy of constant reminders - turn the lights off to save energy, or remember to do those little things that add up if we all actually do them. Rather than big lectures and peptalks that are soon forgotten, small attacks everywhere (to keep consciences pricking?) are sometimes more effective.

Needling strategy?
Someone seems to have used this of Obama, and it´s all over Google, but I actually thought of it myself!

Just another take on it.
