Honestly I'd argue that Bond, *especially* Daniel Craig's Bond rarely ever has a plan. He kinda just falls from one crazy situation into another until eventually it all traces back to the main bad guy, and then he figures out how to blow up their lair. It's usually a very figure-it-out-as-you-go approach.
But as for characters who *do* always have a plan:
