Pr. Gallien’s research involves the design, analysis and implementation of mathematical models to improve the efficiency of supply chains and global health delivery systems.


His research involves collaborations with firms at the frontier of supply chain management including Amazon, Dell and Zara, working on topics that include inventory control and distribution, procurement optimization, dynamic pricing, warehouse control optimization and dynamic supply routing.

Pr. Gallien has also been collaborating with the Global Fund, the World Bank, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, IBM and the Governments of Zambia and Mozambique on the mathematical analysis of global health delivery systems, working on topics that include inventory control and distribution of essential medicines, design of HIV early infant diagnosis networks and performance-based procurement funding. Some of this work has influenced policy guidelines to practitioners and motivated field deployment projects in sub-Saharan Africa.

    • Business Resilience
      Covid, Brexit, financial crises, cyber-attacks, labour strikes, key employees turnover… businesses are now confronted to a vast range of possible disruptions often threatening not just their profits but also their survival. This course offers in-depth exposure to the latest knowledge, tools and frameworks relevant to business resilience, that is the capability of a business to survive and minimise costs incurred when facing disruptions. Its structure reflects the three different levels driving business resilience, namely: Strategic resilience: capability of designing or changing the business model (products offered, markets targeted) in response to actual or possible disruptions (instructor Julian Birkinshaw); Operational resilience: capability of maintaining existing core business activities when facing disruptions (Jérémie Gallien and Alex Yang); Personal resilience: capability of coping with stress-provoking events while reducing adverse experience and stress symptoms (Dan Cable).

    • Managing Healthcare
      With increased demand and pressure to reduce costs, healthcare delivery systems across the globe are under pressure to find ways to increase quality and widen access, while simultaneously reducing cost. The aim of the course is to explore the challenges these competing goals create and to throw light on how they can be best managed. In so doing the course seeks to identify opportunities in health care for managers, entrepreneurs and policy makers. This course draws substantially from the research and consulting expertise of the team of instructors teaching it.

    • Supply Chain Management
      The modern economy is characterised by reduced legal and technological obstacles to global trading. As a result, the success of modern enterprises is increasingly driven not only by their products, people and internal processes, but also by the performance of their supply chain as a whole. In this context, the goal of this course is twofold: Present the best practices and most relevant theory for designing and managing supply chains; Provide a laboratory that is as realistic as possible for students to practice managing supply-chains and obtain insightful feedback on their decisions. Using a combination of case studies, simulations, practitioner guest lectures and readings, the specific topics covered include: physical infrastructure (logistics and warehousing); product flows (forecasting and planning); supply chain design (strategic sourcing and contracting); supply chain risks (resilience to disruptions) and sustainability.
