The Art of Excellent Products makes me fall in love with the integrity of the four pillars of the Incanto framework which Riccardo Illy explains will make you appreciate Illy and their products even more. The benefits a company can obtain by reading this book is endless, even though the case studies mentioned have a long line of familial connections and history, Riccardo Illy helps you enhance your knowledge on how it is possible to adopt this resilient mindset to propel you and your product into an excellent product, even if you started your business yesterday. You also learn a lot from Illy, their mission of sustainability, how oriented they are with their employees and the families of their employees, the early history of Illy, and much more.
