Strategy vs. Tactic
The long-term plan versus the short-term move.
The comparisoni
“Our tactic for Q1 is a 20% price cut — a move within our broader strategy of market share.”
The ruleii
¶
STRATEGY = big picture. TACTIC = step.
STRATEGY is the overall approach to win — long-term, conceptual. TACTIC is the specific manoeuvre — short-term, practical. A strategy without tactics is fantasy; tactics without strategy are chaos.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Strategy = north star. Tactic = next step.
