Invitation Prof. dr. Jan Fransoo in online INSEAD SIG Healthcare & Life Sciences event
Operation Steepen the Curve, Monday March 22nd at 20:00 CET
Operation ‘Steepen the curve’ was a result of Prof. dr. Jan Fransoo’s initiative to speak up in the media, joining the debate about vaccination logistics in December last year. He was convinced that the development of a good logistics design would save time. Together with volunteers from ASML & Philips the principle was adopted that logistics are not subject to any limitations. They quickly developed a model intended to show immediately the consequences arising whenever something changes in one of the identified key variables resulting in the exact quantity of vaccines or their shelf life, or to the issue of which cohorts you want to prioritize in vaccinating. Their support was happily accepted by RIVM accelerating the number of vaccinated people significantly.
Prof. dr. Jan Fransoo will share some of his key learnings with INSEAD alumni and will take questions from participants. The session will be held in the English language.
