Think of the following hierarchy to demystify vision, strategy, and tactics:
(1) Core Values: Enduring tenets—guiding principles—to adhere to no matter what mountain you climb. These never change.
(2) Core Purpose: The underlying “why” you climb mountains at all.
(3) BHAG: The specific mountain you are currently trying to climb.
Strategy: The route you intend to take and the general methods you intend to use to reach the top of that specific mountain.
(4) Base Camps: Intermediate objectives to the top of the mountain. If you have a ten- to thirty-year BHAG, these would be three- to five-year intermediate goals on the way up the mountain.
(5) Tactics: Specific methods for climbing the sections of rock and ice that confront you right now. These would be analogous to detailed annual plans for getting things done this year on the way to the five-year goal.
