No single invention epitomizes the Victorian era more than the black cast-iron range. Aware that the 21st-century has reduced it to a quaint relic, Ruth Goodman was determined to prove that the hot coal stove provided so much more than morning tea: It might even have kick-started the Industrial Revolution.

On August 28, 2019, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked Queen Elizabeth II to prorogue Parliament. She approved the request. The elaborate ritual of the queen granting the prime minister permission to do what he intended to do anyway demonstrates how the legacy of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 made the British Parliament, not the monarch, the ultimate source of power in government. But it was not always so.

Ronald Reagan carried a conservative vision of America to the White House, where his administration gave it life. Peggy Noonan followed Reagan to Washington as his speechwriter— and gave his vision voice. As speech writer for George Bush during his Presidential campaign, Noonan dispelled her candidate's "wimpy" image and replaced it with one of quiet strength by coining such eloquent phrases as "a thousand points of light" and "a kinder, gentler nation."

기술 혁신보다 중요한 것은 '일하는 방법'의 혁신이다! 가장 중요하지만 아무도 말하지 않는 4차 산업혁명의 본질과 핵심 인공지능, 플랫폼, 블록체인, 증강현실 등이 어느덧 익숙한 말이 됐다. 그래서인지 많은 이들이 이런 새로운 기술을 알면 4차 산업혁명을 제대로 이해하는 것이라고 생각한다. 누구보다 빠르고 정확하게 변화를 감지해야 하는 비즈니스맨조차 4차 산업혁명을 기술적 측면에서만 바라본다. 그러나 급속히 달라지는 비즈니스 생태계에서 승패를 좌우하는 것은 기술 혁신이 아니다. 4차 산업혁명은 100개의 레고 조각을 가지고 놀다가 갑자기 레고 조각이 1억 개로 늘어난 것과 같다. 이런 상황에서는 '노는 방법'을 완전히 달리해야 한다. 스포츠에 비유하자면 야구를 하던 선수들이 농구 선수로 뛰어야 하는 상황이다. 지금까지 9명이 공을 던지고 받는 연습을 하며 정교한 작전을 짰다면, 이제부터는 5명이 몸싸움을 해가며 순발력을 발휘해야 하는 것이다. 그래서 필요한 것이 바로 '일하는 방법의 혁신'이다. 신생 스타트업에서 '유니콘 기업'으로 성장해 기존의 강자들을 위협하고 있는 몇몇 기업을 살펴보면 '일하는 방법을 완전히 바꿨다'는 공통점이 있다.
