Norwegian term or phrase: oppside
Vi har så mange samarbeid med så stort potensialet, at oppsiden er meget stor.

This must be some kind of business advantage or updrift, but I'm not sure of the exact term...

I've taken over a rushed job from a colleague who is ill, and I'm regretting it! Thanks for any help!

The term is actually just a Norwegian twist on the English term upside, as used in the financial/business language.
