Take a mental break for a few minutes.

Tactics move us forward.

…in the tug of war between strategy and tactics, they are really one and the same. A sailboat tacks (that is, changes direction) to maximize the benefit of the wind, but it keeps its destination-point fixed. Similarly, a defined strategy needs tactics to reach its destination faster. Tactics also provide tangible evidence of progress to the organization. It makes the strategy (and change) visible and real. And when strategy and tactics are intertwined, a manager can exploit competitive missteps, address crises proactively, and capitalize on ideas that emerge from cultural shifts. Learning is a byproduct of action, not inaction.

This Inc article ( Full Article Here ) hits home on a philosophy I try to hold true to. The tactics and actions taken by a strategic approach are critical to moving forward in projects. High level strategic thinking is a great conversation starter but the power of taking that thinking from 30,000 feet to a detailed and tactical view will always be the most critical aspect of any initiative. To re-emphasize the final point of the quote, ‘learning is the byproduct of action, not inaction.’ Make things and get tactical so you can learn and improve throughout the product/project lifecycle.

Surprisingly, it is the ecosystems created by the device’s apps and not the devices creator (Apple) that are pushing convergence.
