class Test
  def self.test
    puts "The huge test...OF DOOM!"
  end
end
Test.test # => The huge test...OF DOOM!

Test.test isn't really a static method, but a singleton method on
Test. Then just do a test in your method:

  def call_one_or_the_other(x)
    case x
      when SomeClass
        Role.something
      when OtherClass
        Organisation.anotherthing
    end
  end
