English term or phrase: key takeaway

I wasn't familiar with this term (from a US document) and wonder whether it is widely understood in the UK or what a suitable synonym could be. I understand it to mean "the most significant nugget of information learnt/gleaned from an experience"

Thanks for suggestions in advance.
