Small meetings that make a big difference – the health centers' social mission throughout childhood - Health Centers in Trøndelag
Find all health centers in Trøndelag in one place. This page provides an updated and quality-assured overview of health centers in all municipalities, with information about services for pregnant women, children, young people and families. The goal is to make it easy to find the right health center and at the same time provide a comprehensive overview of preventive health services in Trøndelag.
Why have I created this overview?
When I started working on Invisible Capital, I wanted to highlight the capital that is rarely included in the accounts, but which means the most to our society – people.
Health centers are perhaps one of the best examples of this invisible capital. Every single day, midwives, public health nurses and other health personnel meet pregnant women, infants, children, adolescents and parents with knowledge, care and prevention. They contribute to safety, health and quality of life long before challenges develop into larger problems.
This overview is therefore far more than a collection of addresses. It highlights the scope of a national social mission that is carried out every day in small and large municipalities throughout Norway. When we see all the health centers together, it becomes clear how extensive this work actually is – and how important it is for individuals, families and society as a whole.
Good public health is not created only in hospitals or doctor's offices. It is built through thousands of small encounters between people – in conversations with parents, during health examinations, vaccinations, advice and guidance. It is these everyday efforts that create values that we can rarely measure in kroner, but which have enormous significance for quality of life, security and sustainable local communities.
This is precisely what Invisible Capital is about – highlighting the people, knowledge and relationships that create value every single day, often without us noticing them.

The overview is being developed further.
This is part of a nationwide overview of health centers in Norway. The work is ongoing, and new municipalities and counties are added as the information is quality assured and updated.
The goal is to collect all of Norway's health center services in one place - so that parents, students, health personnel and others can easily find updated information about the municipalities' preventive health services.

This article is a complete overview of the health centers in Norway.
If you first want to understand why health centers are so important for children, parents and society, we recommend that you start with the main article.
There we tell the story of the people behind the health centers, the research that shows the importance of early intervention, and why the health centers are one of Norway's most important investments in human capital.
The knowledge behind The Invisible Capital
Invisible Capital is not built on one book or one idea. It has been developed through many years of study, research, international seminars, and practical experience from working life.
The books below represent some of the most important professional sources of inspiration behind the project. They have shaped the way I think about leadership, innovation, digitalization, customer experiences, value creation and – not least – the importance of the people who create the values.
Each book has contributed new perspectives. Together, they have helped develop the knowledge base for The Invisible Capital and the book project Value-Creating People.
I hope they can give you the same professional inspiration that they have given me.
Don't Make Me ThinkAuthor: Steve Krug
Short review
Don't Make Me Think is one of the world's most influential books on usability and web design. Since its first edition in 2000, the book has helped designers, developers, content producers, and managers understand a simple but powerful principle: Good digital services should be intuitive. The user should be able to complete their task without having to stop and think about how the website works.
Why we recommend the book
This is one of the books that has had the greatest impact on my own work with digital services. Over the years – from SAS and the Norwegian Opera & Ballet to working on Bærum Municipality’s website – the principles in this book have been an important reminder that technology is never an end in itself. The goal is to make everyday life easier for the people who use the services. Despite the fact that the book was published many years ago, the message is just as relevant today.
Internet Marketing & eCommerce
Authors: Ward Hanson and Kirthi Kalyanam
Short review
Internet Marketing & eCommerce provides a thorough introduction to how the internet has changed marketing, commerce, and business development. The book combines theory and practical examples in digital marketing, e-commerce, customer behavior, value creation, and digital business models. Although written at a time when the internet was still in its infancy, many of the fundamental principles are still highly relevant.
Why we recommend the book
This book was an important part of my own learning journey in digital marketing and e-commerce. It helped build my understanding of how technology, customer experiences and business strategy are interconnected – an insight that later became very important in my work with SAS, the Norwegian Opera & Ballet, Bærum Municipality and eventually the project The Invisible Capital. Many of the ideas about customer value, digitalization and innovation presented on the website have their roots in the knowledge this book conveys.
The Innovator's Dilemma: When New
Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail
Author: Clayton M. Christensen
Short review
The Innovator's Dilemma is one of the most influential books on innovation and technological change. Clayton Christensen introduces the concept of "disruptive innovation" and shows how even the most successful businesses can fail when new technologies and business models change the market. Through a series of examples, he explains why established companies often have difficulty adapting to radical change - even when they do "everything right."
Why we recommend the book
This book has had a major impact on how I view innovation, digitalization, and change management. It provided a new perspective on why established businesses are challenged by new players, and why the ability to think differently is crucial in a world characterized by continuous technological development. Many of the reflections in The Invisible Capital on innovation, digital transformation, and value creation are based on the insights Clayton Christensen conveys in this classic.
