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.
