Business advisor Ron Robinson will release his book 'Practices of Resilient Companies' on March 2, 2026, through Business Expert Press. The publication draws from Robinson's personal experience of losing everything after the 9/11 attacks and his subsequent professional work turning around companies globally. The book is positioned as a resource for graduate business students, business leaders, and owners who recognize that repeating the same approaches is ineffective and who seek concrete options for not just surviving but thriving in modern economic conditions.
The core content of 'Practices of Resilient Companies' is based on research and stories about leaders who successfully 'spring forward' by building organizational resilience. Robinson identifies four predictable types of disruption that businesses face and pairs them with specific strategies to navigate what he terms the 'certain uncertainty' of the 21st century. This framework aims to move beyond theoretical discussion to provide actionable methodologies for enduring and prospering through challenges.
Robinson's professional background informs the book's perspective. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, he is trained, certified, and practiced in Lean Manufacturing, The Toyota Way, Leadership Development, and Strategic Planning. For the past six years, he has served businesses and nonprofits in North Carolina and Tennessee, following a career that involved traveling the globe to lead company turnarounds. This blend of academic grounding and hands-on crisis management experience underpins the practical advice offered in the publication.
The release of this book is significant for current and future business leaders facing a landscape marked by rapid technological change, geopolitical instability, and economic volatility. By systematizing the practices of resilient companies, Robinson provides a template for organizational preparedness that could influence how business education addresses risk management and how executives plan for long-term viability. The book will be available for purchase at https://ronspeaking.com/products/ols/products/practices-of-resilient-companies.

The implications of this work extend to the broader business ecosystem, suggesting that resilience is a learnable and implementable discipline rather than an innate trait. For industries worldwide, adopting such structured approaches to disruption could lead to greater stability, job preservation, and continued innovation during periods of stress. The book's focus on moving from mere survival to active thriving offers a proactive mindset shift that could redefine success metrics for companies in an unpredictable global market.
