From AudioFile:

Jason Culp delivers the type of narration often featured in business audiobooks. Clipped enunciation, relentless pacing, and a slightly nasal timbre emphasize the corporate values at the foundation of this material. The overall effect is a sense of forward momentum that sweeps one along regardless of one's desire for a pause. Although the pace, at times, has the effect of a verbal onslaught, it does reflect the subject matter, which focuses on the uncompromising drive of corporate innovation, characterized by an ongoing quest for better practices and ever-higher profit margins.
