There was no "plan" for regulation, only vague calls for more or at least smarter regulation. While this is welcome, it's not a plan.

which is all he could reasonably do at this time.
It was a good outline for action.
A real plan will involve developing legislation and a strategy for pushing it through. That comes next year this time.

He wants to change the mindset that got us into these policies.
That is what he presented, and it is a necessary, tone-setting first step. Tone is everything, because it will shape the environment in which the actual legislation is authored. And probably not authored by Obama, but by those economics he identifies as having the correct frame of mind and the proper experience.
