Biography
Stefan Scholtes is Distinguished Visiting Professor at HEC Paris, France, and holds the Dennis Gillings Chair for Health Management at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. His work focuses on the development of research and leadership programmes that leverage business school expertise across subject domains to support the transformation of health systems and the development of health service innovations at scale and at low cost. His work is heavily practice-based. He is founding Director of the Cambridge Centre for Health Leadership & Enterprise, which fosters deep and long-term engagement between business school faculty and students and healthcare practitioners to jointly tackle the thorny organisational and leadership challenges that arise in the pursuit of advancing innovation in healthcare and making these advances more accessible and affordable for all. Professor Scholtes has close links with many healthcare organizations, including as Chair of the Board of one of the largest primary care practices in England and, through honorary appointments, with Cambridge University Hospitals and other leading hospitals in England. At the outset of the COVID pandemic, he co-founded the Joint Evidence and Intelligence Cell jointly with Health System Agencies across the East of England, with a remit to support the regional COVID response and recovery through rigorous and timely analysis of regional and organizational data. Most recently, he teamed up with SSM Health, a large US healthcare system, to launch the Healthcare Utility Initiative with the goal to develop business models for not-for-profit social enterprises that remedy organizational and market inefficiencies and scale up known service innovations rapidly and at sustainably low cost to society. Professor Scholtes’ methodological expertise lies in operations research and statistics. He leads the Business Analytics core course on the Cambridge MBA, is a member of the interdisciplinary Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine, and Department Editor for Healthcare Management at Management Science.
