Experience from global leaders now informs the ideas, systems and stories I bring to every stage.

Keynotes That Create Clarity in a World of Infinite Choices

From boardrooms to conferences, I equip audiences with practical tools to make better decisions under pressure. I also speak regularly at corporate events and leadership forums.

📖 The Infinite Choice

God’s Wisdom for a World of AI

We stand at a crossroads. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we work, decide, and even believe. The promise is staggering—but so are the risks. In The Infinite Choice, Aldrich Obach explores how ancient wisdom and modern analytics can come together to guide humanity in this age of AI.

With stories, insights, and a fresh lens on faith, he reveals how we can make better choices—choices that are not only smarter, but also more human.

This book is for anyone who wonders: How do I stay grounded in a world where machines know me better than I know myself?

Conceptual Framework (Developed by Aldrich Obach)

The 3D Model™ — Decisions. Data. Dialogue.

Exploring how decisions are made, how systems script behaviour, and how dialogue sustains judgment in an age of AI.

The 3D Model™ is a practical and theoretical framework I’m developing to help people and organisations make wiser, more grounded choices. It aligns three dimensions of modern judgment — Decisions (how we think), Data (how systems shape us), and Dialogue (how we communicate and influence one another). When all three dimensions work together, decision-making becomes not only faster or smarter, but more human, coherent, and ethical.

Decisions

How choices are made

Understanding how people actually think — with bias, emotion, and social influence — enables clearer, fairer judgments.

Example: A hiring manager replaces gut feel with structured criteria, revealing hidden bias and improving fairness.

🧭 Ask: “What assumptions are shaping this choice?”

Data

How systems script behaviour

Metrics and technology steer behaviour as much as they measure it. Systems must reward what truly matters, not just what’s easy to count.

Example: A company changes its KPI from “tickets closed” to “issues resolved,” shifting behaviour toward quality.

🧭 Ask: “What behaviours are our systems encouraging?”

Dialogue

How meaning is created

The way we speak and frame ideas shapes how they’re understood. Clear, calm communication builds trust even under pressure.

Example: A leader reframes blame (“You’re late”) into curiosity (“What slowed us down?”), preserving trust and focus.

🧭 Ask: “How is this conversation shaping the decision?”

When the Three Dimensions Align

Decisions create clarity. Data creates alignment. Dialogue creates trust.

Together, they form Decision Integrity — choices that are intelligent, evidence-based, and human.

Dimension Practical Impact Result
Decisions Increases cognitive awareness and reasoning quality. Clearer thinking under pressure.
Data Aligns systems and incentives with desired outcomes. Smarter, evidence-based actions.
Dialogue Improves framing, trust, and emotional intelligence. Stronger influence and relationships.
All Three Builds a culture of reflective, ethical decision-making. Sustainable success and trust.

Author’s Note: The 3D Model™ is an evolving framework I’m developing and applying across coaching, leadership, and organisational decision systems. It draws from evidence-based decision science, behavioural analytics, and conversational leadership practice.

“The 3D Model™ shows that great decisions aren’t just made in the mind or the machine — they’re forged in conversation.”
