Strategy and tactics

This campaign tip (no. 51) was published on Wednesday, 20th February 2019
"Should I go to meeting X or meeting Y?"

"Should we support zzzzzz group?"

"Is it a good idea to run aaaaaa event?

You / we can't do everything. And some things you could do might be fun and interesting but might not really achieve very much

I have always found that having the long view in my mind really helps with short term decisions. Once the objectives are set and the strategy to reach them is clear, the short term tactics and decisions are even clearer!

Illustration - the runner knows his long term strategy is to keep fit - leading him to the tactic of running.

These pages are written by Graham Ellis of Melksham, Wiltshire. Overlapping a life in IT and IT training, with running a hotel and campaigning for improved public transport, Graham has never been quiet - though he's starting to wind down gently now. He no longer takes overnight guests and has stepped doen from the "Community Rail Officer" role which he accidentally aquired. So he now has more time to write pages such as these and to travel in the UK. He'll be delighted to speak with your group or take a look through your case or camapaign, but be alerted that his time is not limitless even now, and he still has to keep the wolf from the door.

What a difference a campaign makes!

It probably wouldn't have happened without a strong community campaign with which I have been involved. Most days through 2019 I'll be sharing a thought, an idea, a way of working or an experience.
