Business advisor Ron Robinson will release his new book 'Practices of Resilient Companies' on March 2, 2026, through Business Expert Press. The publication targets graduate business students, business leaders, and owners seeking alternatives to traditional approaches in an era of constant disruption.
The book's development stems from Robinson's personal experience of losing everything after the September 11, 2001 attacks and learning to rebuild. This background informs his research into leaders who successfully navigate adversity by creating resilient organizations. Robinson identifies four predictable disruptions that modern businesses face and provides practical strategies for not just surviving but thriving amid what he calls 'the certain uncertainty of the 21st century.'
Robinson brings substantial professional credentials to the subject, holding certification and practical experience in Lean Manufacturing, The Toyota Way, Leadership Development, and Strategic Planning. A University of North Carolina graduate, he has spent six years serving businesses and nonprofits in North Carolina and Tennessee while conducting global company turnarounds. His methodology challenges conventional thinking, suggesting that repeating the same approaches constitutes 'insanity' when facing today's volatile business environment.
The book will be available for purchase through Robinson's website at https://ronspeaking.com/products/ols/products/practices-of-resilient-companies. Additional information about the author can be found at https://ronspeaking.com.
This publication arrives as businesses worldwide grapple with rapid technological change, geopolitical instability, and economic volatility. Robinson's work provides a framework for organizational resilience that moves beyond crisis management to proactive adaptation. For business leaders, the book offers evidence-based approaches to building companies that can withstand predictable disruptions while maintaining competitive advantage.
The timing of the release coincides with increasing academic and corporate interest in resilience as a core business competency. By combining personal narrative with practical business strategies, Robinson bridges the gap between theoretical resilience concepts and actionable leadership practices. His global turnaround experience lends credibility to the methodologies presented, suggesting they have been tested in diverse business environments.
For graduate business programs, the book provides case studies and frameworks relevant to contemporary business challenges. The focus on 'certain uncertainty' acknowledges that volatility has become a permanent feature of the business landscape rather than an occasional interruption. This perspective shifts resilience from being a reactive capability to a fundamental design principle for 21st-century organizations.
