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.

This research report presents the ‘Data Only Edition’ for Société Générale — Société Générale’s research results. For those seeking an even deeper understanding of the drivers behind excellence in wholesale banking (i.e., commercial, corporate, and investment banking), seen through the lens of clients, I strongly recommend reviewing the ‘Extended Edition’ or ‘Extended + Edition’ of the Goldman Sachs report, Goldman Sachs — The Blueprint for Leadership.

Ranked first in this extensive, multi-year study, Goldman Sachs received the most nominations, offering valuable insights for every leading bank — financial behemoth or boutique bank. While each bank faces unique challenges, the in-depth analysis of Goldman Sachs’ performance provides invaluable lessons applicable across the industry.
