SMART Start: Strategies for Transformation Success Before You Begin

Transformation isn’t just about launching new software or improving processes. It’s about preparing your people to navigate the unknown with clarity, strategy, and heart. In this powerful keynote, Deb Reuben shares the all-too-familiar story of a fictional company (inspired by real clients) that sets out with good intentions but ends up overwhelmed, exhausted, and off course. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Deb breaks down exactly where things go wrong, and more importantly, how to get it right. Attendees walk away with five practical, people-first strategies to build alignment, drive adoption, and create momentum before a project even kicks off. No buzzwords or fluff, just real tools to help leaders avoid becoming the next cautionary tale and lead transformation that actually sticks.

You will learn:

  • Why most transformation efforts fail, and what to do differently from day one.
  • How to assess pre-project readiness to avoid costly misalignment.
  • Ways to build shared understanding and team alignment before kickoff.
  • What it really takes to prepare your people, not just your technology.
  • Simple tools to visualize progress, maintain momentum, and navigate the “messy middle.”
  • Practical strategies to boost adoption and reduce burnout across your organization.

This session is ideal for business and IT leaders, project managers, transformation champions, and innovation-minded executives ready to lead change that sticks.

Innovation Beyond the Buzzwords™  

Innovation blah blah blah blah blah. You’ve heard all the buzzwords and learned all the lingo. But, despite all the jargon, innovation still feels stuck in your organization. You’re moving fast, but not forward. The business landscape is shifting beneath your feet, and your teams are spinning in circles, chasing change without making real progress.

Here’s the truth: innovation isn’t about tools. It’s about people. Just like dog training isn’t about the dog, digital transformation isn’t about digital. It’s about how your people interact with change, tech, and each other. If you’ve been burned by so-called “transformation” that only created rework and confusion, you’re not alone. Let’s flip the script, rewire your approach, and finally make awesome happen… together.

You will learn:

  • How to help your team overcome the fears that often derail innovation initiatives.
  • How to foster curiosity, the vital fuel for the imagination.
  • The importance of looking outside traditional sources for inspiration.
  • Ways to enhance the human dynamics to begin your innovation initiatives on a strong foundation.
