Marketing
Dutch term or phrase: daadkrachtig
"Met deze moodvideo willen we intern de externe reclamecampagne ondersteunen, waarmee we ons gaan profileren als een daadkrachtige bank"

daadkrachtig = energetic, decisive

Can anyone suggest any other English language (preferably UK English) synonyms that would fit in the context.

Thanks to all of you for the many suggestions.
"action-oriented" is probably the best choice within the context, as most of the other suggestions are too specific, i.e. limiting within a marketing context.

productive


Explanation:
"The more productive bank typically has fewer employees per dollar of assets
held and often controls personnel expense per employee better."
Een suggestie (geïnitiëerd door Babylon); zelf zou ik nochtans wellicht eerder "energetic" kiezen.
Groeten,

a dynamic, client-driven bank


Explanation:
Just another suggestion. It is hard to capture the mood of the rest of the text. Other adjectives may well be more suited to the context, depending on what precedes this sentence.

Good luck

makes things happen


Explanation:
I think this is a more "English" way of saying the same thing:

"a bank that makes things happen"

"Our "hands on" training program means you would become part of a team that makes things happen."
