Pull Up a Chair: Roger Spitz Wrote the Business Book You’ll Actually Finish

You know that business book someone gave you three years ago that’s still holding up a wobbly monitor? This one’s different. Roger Spitz’s Disrupt with Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World (Kogan Page) is the rare business title that reads like a conversation, not a lecture.

Spitz chairs the Disruptive Futures Institute and has spent years studying how companies either bend with change or snap under it. He’s built two frameworks here: the “Disruptive Thinking Canvas” and something he calls the AAA framework (Antifragile, Anticipatory, Agility). Sounds like jargon, I know. But the San Francisco Book Review gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, calling it “packed with practical and realistic advice that is presented in a conversational and approachable style.” They’re right. Spitz writes in bite-sized sections stuffed with real-world examples, and each one earns its page count.

What I like best: he doesn’t pretend there’s a magic formula. His advice is built for people who know the ground keeps shifting. The SFBR review nailed it when they said his guidance is “realistic and actionable in pretty much every industry.” Whether you’re running a startup or steering a department inside a bigger ship, there’s something here you can use on Monday morning.

The book’s already racked up a Foreword Indies Book of the Year win, a Chanticleer CIBA first place, and a Readers’ Favorite bronze. BookTrib called it “pure gold.” I’d call it the business book that finally respects your time.

If you’ve got a seat at this table and you’re tired of business books that talk at you, grab this one. It talks with you.
