- Roche project and product teams drive the operation. They set challenging business-related performance targets and are rewarded for performance. They are given the authority to implement strategies and plans as they think best within the clearly established responsibilities and accountabilities they are given.
- World-class excellence in business processes is necessary to enhance efficiency. Processes are continuously created, adapted, measured and improved, and staff is educated and trained to effectively manage the processes.
- Management support of business performance is needed to establish and sustain excellence. Training and mentoring by management facilitates employee growth, as does support of career development, whether internal or external.
