NEW FOR 2027: THE BUSINESS RESILIENCE BOOK
Critical business briefings for today’s responsible leaders.
Many leaders seek certainties where none exist. It’s time to learn to live with ambiguity.
Material ready to train now.
“These are serious solutions for all serious business leaders.”
“This book brilliantly demonstrates the complexity of the issues yet points to clear, simple-to-understand actions that business leaders can take to secure their businesses, and the societies we live in. Every leader should read it.”
“One of the defining traits I look for in leaders is curiosity, and this is without doubt a book to inform the curious.”
“The days when business was seen as a potential ‘force for good’ in addressing the climate and nature crises are long gone. Over the last few years, it’s been all backsliding and greenwashing. As these crises deepen, can that kind of business leadership be reinvigorated? Kevin and Sarah Duncan’s very timely book suggests that it can and convincingly demonstrates how companies can really seize this moment. However, the jury’s still out on this critical challenge”.
“For anyone in business who’s committed or confused, doubting or denying, this book is for you – everything you need to mobilise or awaken or understand the greatest crisis of our time.”
“The world becomes more complex every day, so leaders need to be constantly updated on the issues that could affect their business. This set of briefings throws the net wide – well beyond conventional business as usual – allowing them to understand complex issues so they can take action at speed.”
“This is an important book to enable leaders to become well-informed, and to be able to take better action. The things that leapt out to me were the breadth of topics covered, the sheer complexity of it all, and the interconnectedness of the issues. The book is practical, pragmatic and action focused, and I would suggest all responsible leaders take note of the draft manifesto at the end.”

Kevin Duncan is co-author of The Business Resilience Book. Sessions based on all the research and learning for this can be customised to suit any leader. They can take the form of critical business briefings on any of the 20 topics in the book, or free-form advice to suit the specific nature of the business. The briefings are jargon-free, no-nonsense and in each case outline: What are the issues? Why is it so complicated? How can we solve it?
Topics include Geopolitics, Global Disasters, Climate Change, Social Issues, Sustainable Development, Governance, Money Matters, Non-Financial reporting, Technology, Marketing, Supply Chains, Natural Resources, Raw Materials, Energy, Water, Food Security, Waste, Customers, Employees, and Leadership.
Kevin demonstrates how the briefings can stimulate effective action, as well as referencing provocations from his many other books that inspire leaders to champion effective resilience.

The Business Resilience Book provides a crucial briefing kit on resilience for todays’ responsible leaders. In today’s complex and unpredictable world, it isn’t enough for business leaders to simply muddle through. Rather than working in the business, eternally reacting to shocks and fighting fires, responsible leaders should be working on the business to ensure a successful future for all.
Nothing is unprecedented, despite frequent claims to the contrary, so it is time for leaders to stop being ‘surprised’ every two to three years. Instead, they should abandon short-term thinking and start ensuring resilience for their companies, their people, and of course the planet.
This will only happen if they favour curiosity over certainty, develop acute awareness, take true responsibility, and act with the highest ethics. Because certainty doesn’t exist.
If that responsible leader is you, this training can help.
