Learning to think and analyze at a high level is strategy. Becoming expert in a particular content area is tactics.

Yes!!! I’m about 25 years into a corporate writing career. I’m in my fifth industry. I can learn what I need to know about my subject matter way faster than an SME can learn to write well.

The chess version of that is that tactics are concrete moves you can make, combinations that yield an advantage. Strategy is what you do when there are no clear tactical ideas to pursue and you have to develop them. (A key early game strategy of course is to develop your pieces!)
