Efficiency is how well you do something, and effectiveness is how useful it is.
For example, if a company is not doing well and they decide to train their workforce on a new technology. The training goes really well - they train all their employees in record time and tests show they have absorbed the training well. But overall productivity doesn't improve. In this case the company's strategy was efficient but not effective.

Or, as they say: Effectiveness is doing the right things. Efficiency is doing things right.
