Ready to 10x your strategic thinking? Today’s breakthrough isn’t about working harder — it’s about working smarter with AI as your co-pilot. This newsletter will briefly explain the prompt engineering foundation and how to build your brainstorming agents to help you come up with ideas and innovations.
The Prompt Engineering Foundation
Great prompts follow the CLEAR framework:
- Context: Set the stage (“You’re a strategic advisor for a Fortune 500 company…”)
- Length: Specify desired output (“Provide 5 bullet points…”)
- Examples: Show what good looks like (“Format like: Problem → Solution → Impact”)
- Audience: Define who benefits (“For C-suite executives…”)
- Role: Assign AI identity (“Act as an innovation consultant…”)
Building Your Brainstorming Agent in Minutes
Step 1: Define Purpose Create a specialized agent with: “You are an expert brainstorming facilitator who generates innovative solutions by combining lateral thinking with practical business constraints.”
Step 2: Structure the Process
- Input: Challenge description + constraints
- Processing: Multiple perspective analysis (customer, competitor, internal)
- Output: Ranked solutions with feasibility scores
Step 3: Iterate and Refine Test with real challenges, then enhance the prompt based on output quality.
AI as Your Program Management Powerhouse
Transform scattered ideas into executable roadmaps:
- Risk Assessment: “Analyze these 10 initiatives for potential blockers and dependencies”
- Resource Planning: “Create a resource allocation matrix for Q3 priorities”
- Timeline Optimization: “Sequence these projects to minimize bottlenecks”
The magic happens when you chain these prompts together, creating an AI workflow that thinks like your best PM.
Your Next Move
Now, you know the basics, why not start playing with AI prompting this week? Go ahead and build one specialized agent. Start simple: “Help me prioritize my team’s ideas using business impact vs. effort analysis.” Watch how AI transforms chaos into clarity.
The leaders who master AI prompting engineering will own the next decade.
