A Procedure typically involves a set of actions that are followed in order to achieve a specific goal or target.
A Strategy is a SPECIFIC SET of PROCEDURES to achieve an OVERALL GOAL or TARGET.
The DIFFERENCE:
While a Procedure is usually pretty consistent (unchanging); Strategy / Strategies are usually dynamic (constantly updated/changed), depending on the circumstances of a given situation (like the actions of others).
For example, there is a Procedure to building a table & There is a Strategy to winning a game. If you follow the correct procedure to build a table, you will end up with a correctly built table. The outcome of a game, on the other hand, depends on the other players strategy and your response (strategy) to their strategy; so your actions (procedures) are part of your strategy.
A Procedure will ONLY work given the circumstances are NOT CHANGING; therefore the same actions (a procedure) will NOT always result in the same outcome if the circumstances are changed/changing.
