Frode Heldal
About
Frode Heldal has his PhD degree from Industrial Economics in 2008, where he looked at interdisciplinary collaboration in hospitals. After four years as a consultant, Frode returned to academia in what eventually became the NTNU School of Economics. He works there now as a professor in organization and management.
Both academically and research-wise, teams and team management are an important focus. Frode teaches as of 2024 in the subjects Team management and technology, Experts in teams and Technology-based business development. Central to both teaching and research is how team development plays out in practice, which is also an important theme in the latest book publication "Living Team". In addition to consultancy, Heldal is also widely used as a speaker, both for private and public business.
