About the book
Set inside Business Solutions, Inc., a firm in disarray whose two co-CEOs have hired shadowy consultants to shake things up, the novel by Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss follows the people who work there. Will Evans, a communications manager who came up from the warehouse floor and now straddles blue-collar roots and a white-collar career, must translate executive jargon and is handed the rollout of the consultants' murky new strategy, branded Optelligence. Anna Reed, an ambitious job hopper demoted onto his team on her first day, sees the company only as a stepping stone.
Dunn Group founder Brian J. Dunn praised its witty, flawed characters and likened the story to great companies built by ordinary people, and Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce chief Matt Kramer called it funny and sharp.

I enjoyed the hell out of this book. It harpoons the bloated, mindlessly self-destructive tendencies of American corporations. But it’s also a human story. Which is why--despite the absurdity and arrogance and plain ol’ stupidity on display at BSI--I’d kind of like to work there. Are they hiring?
Matt Kramer (CEO/Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce)
Funny as hell, with sharp observations and cunning insights. It reads like the best happy-hour story you've ever heard.
Brian J. Dunn (Founder/Dunn Group)
Entertaining, eerily familiar and full of compelling characters who are witty and smart-- yet flawed in all the right ways. I loved this story for the same reason I love great companies: at their core, they represent ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary things (demonstrating my deeply held belief that there are no such thing as ordinary people).
