Strategic Goals Drive Tactical Measures
Hanns-Jürgen Hodann
​ A STRATEGY  could be defined as a long-term goal or overriding aim.

TACTICS  could be defined as activities meant to deal with the demands of the moment guided by the pursuit of the overriding goal.

As long-term strategic goals are abstract by nature, they do not take into account local, complex issues of the movement. This makes it necessary to adapt the long-term plan via tactical short-term goals and decisions to avoid unintended consequences. The CLD suggests that this process is driven by goal-seeking feedback loops.
