‣ tactics <> strategy
‣ strategy as a project vs strategy in the process
‣ just one framework
Caveat!
![Page 47: Digital Strategy for dummies](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051815/53e9e4788d7f7289708b4f48/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Strategy is not just a chain of different tactical actions; how cleverly they may be disguised in an action plan.
Strategy binds the tactical actions together with a narrative and a purpose.
Tactics <> strategy
![Page 48: Digital Strategy for dummies](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051815/53e9e4788d7f7289708b4f48/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
People fill the word ‘strategy’ with different meanings.
Confusion: strategy as a finite project with deliverable versus strategy as a skill in a process. Everything in the digital process is (or should be) strategic. From concept over design and development to online marketing.
But ‘strategy’ is also a project: deliver a document that outlines the strategy to be followed in the future.
Strategy as project vs process
![Page 49: Digital Strategy for dummies](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051815/53e9e4788d7f7289708b4f48/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Compare it to ‘usability’.
1. Usability in the processEvery step in the process should include attention for usability; everyone (designer, front-ender, developer) should have notions of usability
2. Usability as a projectA ‘usability audit’ is a finite project with an end deliverable - a document that outlines the steps to take to improve usability
Strategy as project vs process
![Page 50: Digital Strategy for dummies](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051815/53e9e4788d7f7289708b4f48/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
This document talks about strategy as a project; as the first step in the complete process. It has a clearly defined duration and a clearly defined deliverable.
(For me it is obvious that strategy and strategic thinking should be
involved throughout the whole process. Developers, designers,
frontenders, IA’s, online marketeers should all include strategic
thinking in their work, and contribute to the overall strategy of
the project.)
Strategy as project vs process

This is just one version and one view of Strategy.
There are several ways to reach the same goal...
Just a framework!
