I think you need to separate out the notion of a 'strategy' from an
'ideal strategy.'
Copying someone else is a strategy. In some contexts (though I can't
think of an example right now), it could possibly be an ideal strategy.
There are really three states that I see:
1) Not having any strategy.
2) Having a strategy, but one that isn't very good.
3) Having an ideal strategy, that will yield successful results.
With your definition, are you trying to transition people from 1 to 2,
or from 2 to 3. I think, if you try to do from 1 to 3, you're results
won't be what you hope them to be. In my opinion, for the folks who
need this discussion, it's too much distance in one jump.
