How to effectively learn AI Prompting, with the 'AI for EVP (Executive Vice Presidents) (Prompt Course)'?
Start strong: Practical AI prompts that turn EVP priorities into clear actions
This course gives Executive Vice Presidents a structured, repeatable way to use AI for the work that matters most: setting direction, testing options, communicating with influence, and guiding execution across complex portfolios. Rather than scattered tips, you'll work with a cohesive prompt system that supports strategy, analysis, communication, people leadership, and operational follow-through-built for the speed and scrutiny of executive life.
What you will learn
- How to frame business goals and constraints so AI produces concise outputs fit for boardrooms, customers, regulators, and internal teams.
- Ways to convert broad priorities into well-scoped requests that surface options, risks, and trade-offs without wasting cycles.
- Methods to refine outputs quickly-tone, structure, level of detail-so messages land with each audience.
- Techniques to pressure-test ideas using scenario thinking, sensitivity checks, and alternative viewpoints.
- Approaches to summarize long reports and synthesize diverse inputs into clear executive briefs.
- Good practices for working with data safely, reducing bias, and validating AI-generated claims before decisions.
- How to build repeatable prompt patterns for planning, analysis, and communication that your chiefs of staff and direct reports can reuse.
How the course is organized
The course flows through the full executive cycle-plan, analyze, communicate, and execute-so each section reinforces the others. You'll see how prompts for market and competitor work feed strategic choices, how financial and risk views shape options, how people and customer insights guide prioritization, and how communication and project prompts keep delivery on track. The outcome is a single operating rhythm, not disconnected exercises.
What the course includes
The course brings together targeted prompt sets that map to an EVP's core responsibilities across:
- Strategic direction and long-range planning
- Market and competitor assessment
- Financial forecasting and risk awareness
- Employee performance and customer sentiment insights
- Executive communications-presentations and speeches
- Project oversight and execution momentum
- Technology adoption choices and ROI thinking
- Mergers and acquisitions review
- Crisis planning and incident readiness
- Corporate social responsibility and stakeholder expectations
- Executive personal brand and thought leadership
Each area is presented in plain language with clear workflows, making it simpler to move from question to output to action.
Using the prompts effectively
- Start with outcomes: State the decision you need, the success criteria, the time horizon, and the key constraints. Clarity in setup saves extensive rework later.
- Provide context: Share background that shapes the task-audience, region, industry, stage of growth, and known sensitivities. Keep sensitive data out of chat tools unless your policies explicitly allow it.
- Control the format: Specify the output form (brief, memo, bullets, slide outline), length, and tone. This keeps results executive-ready.
- Ask for assumptions: Request explicit assumptions and confidence levels so you can verify easily and adjust inputs with precision.
- Compare alternatives: Have the AI present options with pros, cons, cost/benefit notes, and triggers that would change the recommendation.
- Iterate with purpose: Use short cycles-revise one variable at a time (audience, scope, depth) and lock the parts that already work.
- Cross-check: Ask for contrary views and potential blind spots. Then specify what data would confirm or challenge the conclusion.
- Standardize: Save prompt patterns that consistently produce value and share them with chiefs of staff, PMOs, and direct reports.
How these parts work together
- Plan: Strategic planning prompts clarify goals, constraints, and metrics. Market and competitor prompts test where to play and how to win. CSR prompts ensure priorities reflect stakeholder expectations.
- Analyze: Financial prompts give you defensible forecasts and scenario views. Risk prompts convert uncertainty into clear mitigations. M&A prompts surface deal logic, synergy themes, and integration watchouts.
- Listen: Employee performance and customer sentiment prompts reveal patterns, blockers, and early signals you can act on-without compromising confidentiality.
- Communicate: Presentation and speech prompts translate strategy into crisp messages tuned for boards, investors, customers, and teams.
- Execute: Project guidance prompts turn decisions into timelines, owners, milestones, and check-ins. Crisis prompts ensure you have playbooks ready before you need them.
- Modernize: Technology adoption prompts help evaluate claims, think through integration, and plan rollout sequencing in line with value and risk.
Why this matters for EVPs
- Speed with substance: Produce board-grade options and narratives quickly, with clear links to goals and constraints.
- Better meetings: Enter reviews with concise choices, anticipated objections, and pre-baked next steps.
- Stronger cross-functional coordination: Share consistent briefs that let finance, product, sales, legal, and HR move in sync.
- Less thrash: Reduce rework by setting up prompts that consistently give the right level of detail, tone, and structure.
- Reusable system:-strong> Create a prompt library that scales across your org, with minimal training for new leaders and chiefs of staff.
Governance, privacy, and accuracy
Senior leaders must set the standard for safe and responsible AI use. The course provides clear guidance on:
- Keeping confidential information out of general chat tools unless your enterprise permits it, and redacting details when needed.
- Labeling AI-assisted content and preserving authorship standards for speeches and executive notes.
- Spotting bias and superficial claims, and verifying figures through trusted systems before they influence decisions.
- Maintaining auditability by capturing assumptions, sources, and versioned outputs.
Who will benefit
- EVPs leading strategy, growth, operations, finance, technology, or people functions.
- Leaders responsible for cross-functional programs, transformation efforts, M&A, or board communications.
- Chiefs of staff and PMO leads who support executive planning, analysis, and communications.
How to get the most from this course
- Pick one live priority and apply the prompts end-to-end-plan, test, decide, communicate, execute.
- Time-box iterations. Two or three cycles usually beat ten unfocused tweaks.
- Anchor outputs to measurable goals and known constraints-budget, capacity, and risk appetite.
- Pair AI-generated work with quick human checks from finance, legal, or domain experts before final approvals.
- Save your best-performing prompt patterns and share them so your teams can move faster with confidence.
Expected outcomes
- Clearer strategies with quantified options and explicit trade-offs.
- Faster prep for board updates, all-hands messages, and executive reviews.
- Sharper analysis that connects market signals, competitor moves, and financial implications.
- More predictable execution through consistent plans, milestones, and accountability.
- Stronger presence through concise, audience-aware communication and a consistent executive voice.
Final note
This course treats AI as a dependable partner for high-stakes work: it organizes the thinking, speeds up the heavy lifting, and helps you move from intent to action with clarity. The prompts are practical, reusable, and built to fit the way EVPs lead-so you can set direction, make confident calls, and keep the organization moving.
