This is clearly a case of too many Strategists and not enough people who
'build'.

Only a great combination of both and a process that supports the
collaboration of all parties, including the client, can get you a result
that works. All the rest probably adds up to what Dan mentions about the
documents he receives.

Ultimately - one can only benefit greatly from understanding what everyone
on the team does, and how best to use them for the common purpose they are
together.
