Navigating crises in times of upheaval and tranquillity  

In a world frequently confronted with adversity and crises, the ability to bounce back and forge ahead is a vital trait for individuals, communities, businesses, and nations. In his new book, ‘Building Resilient Futures,’ Robert Hall explores the concept of resilience during times of upheaval and tranquillity. Filled with a diverse array of theory, case studies, and anecdotes, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to manage the consequences of trauma and turmoil.

Resilience takes on different forms, ranging from emotional resilience to organisational and societal resilience. Hall delves into each type, offering keen insights into how individuals and entities can effectively navigate and overcome challenges. Whether it's a community struggling to stay afloat, a business endeavouring to remain solvent, or a nation striving to safeguard its citizens, the principles of resilience can be applied to build a better, more prepared future.

Robert Hall is an independent consultant on resilience. He was the Executive Director (2018-21) and then Director of Strategy (2021-22) at Resilience First Ltd, which he helped to cofound. He also served as the Research and Policy Co-ordinator for the National Preparedness Commission (2021-22). He left both positions in May 2022. 

Robert has authored over 50 articles in a variety of publications on strategic risk, security and resilience issues, as well as around 200 news articles and papers on the Resilience First website.

‘Building Resilient Futures’ is a timely and necessary addition to the literature on resilience. With its accessible yet thought-provoking approach, the book appeals to a broad audience, including professionals, practitioners, students, government ministers, and business leaders. Hall's work not only provides theoretical insights but also emphasises the practical application of resilience principles. By encouraging readers to absorb the knowledge within and take proactive measures, the book has the potential to contribute to a safer and better world.
