Dakota Crow

Innovation doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built intentionally through mindset, momentum, and most importantly- people. In this energizing keynote, Dakota Crow shares his insights from leading innovation efforts at one of the nation’s largest banks, offering practical, powerful strategies to help you transform big ideas into real-world results. Demystify the process of moving from inspiration to action and get ideas for how to build a culture that empowers teams to think creatively, how to activate innovation across your branch network, and how to design programs that actually work. This session isn’t just about dreaming; it’s about doing. You’ll leave with fresh energy, new tools, and clear steps to activate innovation in your own role and institution—no matter where you sit in the org chart. You’ll leave this session ready to:

• Foster a culture of curiosity and experimentation across your teams
• Empower staff to be everyday innovators
• Translate big ideas into actionable, testable pilots
• Navigate the common roadblocks that stall progress and momentum

In this interactive workshop, roll up your sleeves and dive into a practical framework for turning bold ideas into measurable impact. Through guided exercises, participants will map out their own innovation goals, identify roadblocks, and design actionable strategies to elevate performance, engagement, or experience within their organization. Whether you're leading a new initiative or refining an existing one, you’ll leave with a personalized success map—and the tools to bring it to life.
