Not only that, but they would likely have the best military strategists from all NATO countries helping plan this offensive.
I bet that intelligence predicted the destruction of the dam and how to adjust plans accordingly.

Obviously that's a bonus, but I'm not sure how helpful NATO strategists are here compared to Ukrainians. This isn't a type of war NATO has experience with or even something they've been preparing for.
I'm not sure if there's any military in the world that had up-to-date plans for attacking deep fortified entrenched defensive positions before the war. This just isn't what 21st century warfare was supposed to look like.
Fortunately, Ukrainians have so far looked like fast learners, and superior intelligence is a big advantage, as is superior morale.
