Comment on Creating a Vision – An Analogy by Mark Wallinger

See if this helps.
Vision = dream.
Strategy = what you want to do, adjusted periodically to market conditions, etc.
Tactics = support the Strategy, or is how you are going to do what you want to do specifically.

We also reviewed how you can use mocks to verify methods were acted upon from withing the method under test.
