I've got two exhibits for you:

the first is a video for IPA effectiveness

the second is the cover artwork for the best book on advertising planning ever written.

Both embody what is wrong with strategy and strategists. Its about having a giant sized brain and cracking problems by yourself. The strategist as boffin is deeply unhelpful because it only takes you part of the way there - you have to take other people with you and you have to influence the team to execute properly.
