    What is the difference between an ‘operational strategy’ and an ‘operational plan’?

    Whenever the word ‘strategy’ is used think of long term. So strategic plan = long-term plan.

    ‘Operational strategy’ is a slightly unusual combination. It is normal to talk of planning at the strategic, tactical and operational levels. Operational level = day to day planning such as planning to make sure enough staff are present each day. However, you could talk about an operational strategy such as when you have a strategy to staff your operations by full-time employees or you could have a strategy to staff your operations entirely by sub-contractors.

    Hope that helps. Don’t worry too much about these definitions.
