Charles Leadbeater
Charles Redbit, a global authority in the field of innovation and creativity, is a renowned writer, thinker, and strategic advisor. Governments, cities, and businesses around the world hope to receive his advice. Charles was the first scholar to notice amateur innovation and pointed out that innovation is no longer limited to traditional professional institutions such as universities, research institutes, and large enterprises, but more comes from people who use various tools to collaborate and share their expertise. For this reason, he created the concept of Pro AMS as a professional amateur to describe amateurs who are passionate about a certain field and hope to reach a professional level. This theory of innovation forces traditional industry giants to rethink their strategies, and the world-renowned Long Tail Theory also widely cites Charles' viewpoint. The impact of mass collaboration and innovation on businesses and governments is discussed in detail in Charles' book 'Our Reflections'. After the book was published, the famous British bystander magazine praised Charles as the wizard of the web. The book foresees the rise of more collaborative and open forms of innovation that can be achieved through the internet. There are also animations adapted from the book on YouTube.

Chris Kotana
Cristiana has twice won the Governor General's Medal of Canada. He is a member of the Sauv \u00e9 Fellow of the Sowe Society and a scholar in the Commonwealth Scholarship Program. He is a researcher at Martin College, Oxford University and holds a PhD in Political Science from Oxford University.

He once lived in Oxford, London, and Regina... The risks and rewards of the New Renaissance, as discovered in books. Ian Golding and Cristiana define today as the New Renaissance - a rare moment where genius and risk coexist that promises to reshape our lives. Names such as Leonardo da Vinci, Columbus, Copernicus, Martin Luther, and Gutenberg evoke an era where unprecedented discoveries and disruptions have broken long-term barriers and also broken long-standing shackles of power. This wave has reshaped society, interweaving global economy, politics, and knowledge. 500 years ago, this force inspired the wisdom of genius, overturned social order, and promoted significant progress in the fields of science, trade, immigration, technology, education, and health; Now, this force is once again emerging, and its impact is becoming increasingly widespread and far-reaching. In the book 'The Age of Discovery', Ian Golding and Cristiana show us how to draw courage and wisdom from the Renaissance in history, thus creating the golden age of the New Renaissance. Whether it's Gutenberg or Zuckerberg, the discovery of the Americas or the rise of China, copper plate printing or deep silicon etching, the rise of vain bonfires or Islamic states, the spread of syphilis or the spread of Ebola, whether in the past or present, the Renaissance has always unleashed humanity's greatest potential in moments of life and death. The era of discovery teaches us how to cope with the crises faced by today's era and defines the cultural heritage left behind by history. Although half a century has passed, these legacies still shine brightly. Dr. Christana said that the divisions, political extremism, uncertainty, and various consequences of discovery we face today are no different from the social situation we experienced during the Spanish Inquisition and the Martin Luther Reformation. But he pointed out that these social pressures are inevitable by-products of innovation and development. He pointed out that we underestimated the threat that discovery poses to the current situation. The development of new technologies such as the Internet has brought us enormous systemic impacts, and we cannot ignore these impacts, but must understand how they cause social tension. This uncertainty reflects a paradigm shift, which we cannot and should not ignore. Just like the Renaissance had its bright and dark sides, although the changes we are facing today have their dark side, advances in technology, medicine, and other fields have also shown us the bright side. Kotana was previously a consultant for Boston Consulting Group in New Zealand, Australia, and China. Currently, he collaborates with senior partners at BCG and McKinsey to explore how to help organizations adapt to the Second Renaissance. His next book will explore how different leadership perspectives around the world respond to sustained social and political shocks. Recommendation: In this crazy era, many of us feel that
