BPCE unveils its own structure dedicated to business councils

The Group COPD has just signed a new stage in the diversification of its activities. The bank, as the second player in its market, has indeed joined Eurogroup Consulting, an independent French consulting firm specializing in strategy and transformation. Their partnership leads to the creation of BPCE Partner Consulting, a consulting entity dedicated to SMEs, ITEs and institutions.

FACTS

• BPCE Partner Consulting is primarily presented as a joint venture held equally by the two partners that are at the origin, namely BPCE and Eurogroup Consulting.

• This new structure is presented as an accompaniment to the professional clients of the Banques Populaires, Caisses d'Epargne and other establishments in the group.

• BPCE Partner Conseil will launch on the basis of a range of services:
  • a tool to diagnose the company's performance and strategy,
