Story
Inside Societe Generale, documentation used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in financials groups working out of France. Specialists and new hires needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Societe Generale uses Portfolios from Asana as the working layer for institutional knowledge. Asana is a work management platform that helps teams track projects, goals, and cross-functional work in one place. The practical change is simple: documentation has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Societe Generale gets from Asana is a durable place to run documentation and a way for specialists and new hires to see the same institutional knowledge at the same time.
