Who Silenced Strategy? a Wake-up Call for Leaders, Managers and Board Members

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.
