Improve On reveal bigger truths about organizations and life. The way the author uses the idea of a restaurant to explain value creation, delivery, and customer satisfaction is so simple yet powerful. It made me realize how every product or service we enjoy is like a dish, born from an idea, prepared with effort, and finally served with care.
