I've learned the difference between strategy and tactics through agile development. During our pre-planning and sprint planning sessions, our PO usually lays out a plan of our priorities (strategy) occasionally he will suggest implementation plans (tactics) as one is want to do for an engineer turned product owner, but I always try to take a step back and ask him "what sort of system do you want". It's been a few years since he was a day to day developer, he's not as well versed in the new modules and functionality (tactics) that are now built into the system, often times he'll go into tactical discussion but it'll be off base because the resources we'd use to execute those tactics have changed. By trying to understand his intent and strategy I've been able to deliver what he wants but have the freedom to implement it in my own way.
