1. Global reach with local experts
2. Sector expertise
3. Sustainability focus
To achieve this, a transparent and consistent WB Global roadmap needs to be designed and delivered, making the Transformation Management function a critical enabler for our Wholesale Banking Growth Strategy and (digital) transformation.
