What wholesale banking practices build first-rate reputations? The research report Société Générale — Making it Happen draws from the experiences and perceptions of 4,039 C-level executives and senior managers from Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000 companies. The report presents Société Générale’s wholesale banking performance across six key success factors: client-centricity, external engagement, competitiveness, leadership and employee quality, innovativeness, and business model efficiency and effectiveness (e.g., SocGen’s reliability as a business partner, its agility, client responsiveness, and resilience). Société Générale — Making it Happen is descriptive (via dozens of statistics, ratings, and analyses) as well as prescriptive (through actionable performance improvement recommendations). It marks a turning point in truly understanding SocGen’s reputation in wholesale banking — the bank’s ultimate asset.

For those seeking an even deeper understanding of the drivers behind excellence in wholesale banking, seen through the lens of clients, I strongly recommend reviewing the ‘Extended Edition’ of the Goldman Sachs report, Goldman Sachs — The Blueprint for Leadership. As the top-rated firm in this extensive, multi-year study, Goldman Sachs received the most ‘best bank’ nominations, offering valuable insights for every leading bank, financial behemoth or boutique bank.
