How Ruben Can Help Your Organization
That was the question that brought an organization to me. They wanted to level up their ability to make decisions rapidly. So I worked with them to design a custom workshop that tackled their most pressing challenges engagingly and enjoyably.
I shared several ideas on making better decisions while mixing case studies, hot seats, and group exercises to ensure the team understood how to implement these ideas in the real world. Then, they used the ideas to drive higher sales and profits and reduce errors.
I can help your organization through various speaking formats, including keynotes, workshops, and webinars. They can all be delivered in person or virtually. Whether you’re just starting with decisions or have mature decision-making capabilities, you can benefit from a refresher by a decision and data expert.

The Death of Strategic Planning: Formulating Strategies that Get Results in Less Time
Every organization understands the value of a good strategy but the process for getting one isn’t quite as clear. I have helped over 80+ organizations formulate strategies that tackle the issues no one wants to deal with while ensuring the strategy actually gets implemented.
Here’s what your attendees will learn:

Innovative Decisions: How Your Organization Can Create Their Ideal Future
Innovation doesn’t need a pitch deck. Organizations have been talking about the need to be innovative since the end of WWII, where technological innovation was seen as the catalyst for economic growth.
Every executive has been told to be “more innovative” or to foster an “innovative environment.” You understand why, but do you know if your organization is being truly innovative?
The best place to look for innovation is in the quality of decisions being made. Everything an organization does can be broken down into decisions, which are the building blocks of innovation, like Legos.
Here’s what your attendees will learn:
1) How to foster new avenues for ideas while ensuring those ideas reach decision-makers
2) How tracking Decision Speed can surface bottlenecks in decision-making
3) How to ignore HPOs (Highest Paid Opinion) and create an environment where the best ideas win
4) Why innovation isn’t about major changes but small tweaks.
