At Roche our Finance Centers of Excellence - including CoFI, FinEx, NExT, FC CoE, and CoRE - have led the way in breaking down silos, removing hierarchies, and working in new ways. We’ve learned from our successes and from the things that haven’t gone so well. We’re better equipped to look at interfaces and synergies, and to understand the risks of creating new silos.
