What happens to strategy after the boardroom applause fades? 

In Who Silenced Strategy?, international bestselling author John Britt delivers a sharp and engaging business fable that uncovers a problem familiar to every organization: brilliant strategies that fail in execution. 

Through the lens of Detective McNally’s investigation, familiar corporate elements—Mission, Vision, Values, SWOT, Goals, Culture and Accountability—come to life as characters, each claiming innocence in Strategy’s mysterious disappearance. Yet, as the story unfolds, a deeper truth emerges: strategy is rarely destroyed—it is slowly neglected. 

Blending storytelling with practical insight, Britt reveals why even well-crafted plans lose momentum between planning and execution—and what leaders, managers and boards must do to keep strategy alive, aligned and actionable. 

A compelling wake-up call for anyone responsible for turning ideas into results.
