The Practices of Resilient Companies with Ron Robinson

How can leaders build organizations that remain responsive and successful through constant disruption? Kevin sits down with Ron Robinson to explore what makes a company resilient in the face of economic uncertainty, social change, climate events, and rapidly evolving technology. Ron explains why leaders must look beyond financial results and strengthen four interconnected areas of the business: finances, operations, employees, and customers. They discuss how involving employees in budgeting, problem-solving, recruiting, and process improvement can reduce costs, increase responsiveness, and create greater ownership throughout the organization. Ron also introduces the value of internal mastermind groups, where employees closest to the work meet regularly to share knowledge, identify improvements, and respond more quickly to challenges.
