How to effectively learn AI Prompting, with the 'AI for Manager of Operations (Prompt Course)'?

Start turning daily operations questions into clear, AI-supported actions

AI for Manager of Operations (Prompt Course) is a practical, cross-functional program that shows operations leaders how to use AI and ChatGPT to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and support better decisions across the entire operations lifecycle. Instead of scattered tips, you get a connected learning path that covers process optimization, inventory, workforce analytics, finance, market insights, facilities, supply chain, training, crisis response, customer experience, vendor engagement, energy, quality, project analytics, and workflow automation. The result is a reliable, repeatable way to turn questions into structured outputs you can act on today.

What you will learn

  • How to translate operational goals into clear AI requests and get outputs that support decisions, not just text.
  • How to request structured outputs (lists, checklists, risk flags, scenario comparisons) that align with your KPIs and constraints.
  • How to combine qualitative insights (customer feedback, vendor notes) with quantitative data (forecasts, inventory levels) for balanced recommendations.
  • How to build a reusable prompt library organized by business objective, so teams get consistent results across shifts and sites.
  • How to validate AI outputs with quick checks, sanity tests, and back-of-the-envelope calculations before you act.
  • How to adapt prompts to different audiences (frontline teams, executives, vendors) with the right tone, scope, and detail.
  • How to keep an audit trail: version prompts, record context and assumptions, and document decisions.
  • How to integrate AI-supported steps into existing SOPs, project plans, and continuous improvement cycles.
  • How to apply responsible AI practices: privacy, data minimization, bias checks, and clear human-in-the-loop controls.

How the modules fit together

The course is intentionally cohesive. Each module strengthens the others, so you can build compound value:

  • Process and workflow modules provide a foundation for identifying bottlenecks and standardizing improvements.
  • Inventory, supply chain, and vendor modules work together to reduce stockouts, increase service levels, and prepare negotiation materials informed by current market conditions.
  • Financial and project analytics modules translate operational changes into budget impacts, prioritization, and delivery schedules.
  • HR analytics and training modules align staffing, skills, and onboarding with production plans and quality targets.
  • Customer experience and quality modules loop feedback into corrective actions and product/service improvements.
  • Facility and energy modules connect asset reliability and maintenance plans with consumption patterns and savings opportunities.
  • Crisis management module brings all areas together for scenario planning, escalation paths, and communications readiness.

As you progress, you'll see how a single prompt-driven workflow can pull inputs from multiple areas, produce consistent outputs, and trigger the next action in your process. This cross-linking is what turns AI into a dependable partner in daily operations.

Using the prompts effectively

The course emphasizes standards that make AI outputs dependable and easy to implement:

  • Context first: State the business objective, time horizon, constraints, and success criteria clearly.
  • Ground with data: Reference the sources you can share (summaries, anonymized metrics, exports) and state any gaps or assumptions.
  • Define the role: Specify the perspective you want (analyst, planner, coach, auditor) to shape the response style.
  • Structure the output: Ask for labeled sections, checklists, and action items that map to your workflows and KPIs.
  • Demand alternatives: Request multiple scenarios or options with trade-offs and risks.
  • Quality gates: Include quick verification steps, edge cases to test, and indicators that require human review.
  • Reproducibility: Use consistent phrasing, maintain versions, and keep a shared prompt library.
  • Operational hand-off: Convert outputs into SOP updates, dashboards requirements, training briefs, and vendor talking points.
  • Governance: Redact sensitive data, follow least-access practices, and log decisions with sources and assumptions.

What the course includes

You'll work through a sequence of modules that cover core operational areas. Each module includes instructional content, worksheets to capture your context, and implementation guidance that helps you fold AI into daily routines. You'll learn repeatable patterns for:

  • Process improvement and workflow redesign
  • Inventory planning and replenishment support
  • People analytics for staffing and training plans
  • Forecast summaries and scenario comparisons
  • Market and customer insight synthesis
  • Facility upkeep and asset reliability coordination
  • Supply chain performance and risk visibility
  • Programmatic learning and skills development
  • Contingency planning and response coordination
  • Customer journey analysis and service improvements
  • Vendor research and negotiation preparation
  • Energy usage analysis and savings ideas
  • Quality assurance and root cause support
  • Project status analysis and prioritization
  • Automation opportunities and SOP alignment

Value you can expect

  • Faster time-to-insight: Convert raw data and notes into digestible summaries and action lists in minutes.
  • Consistent decisions: Standardize how teams ask questions and review answers, reducing variance across sites and shifts.
  • Reduced rework and waste: Use AI to pressure-test plans before changeovers, purchases, or staffing moves.
  • Better cross-functional alignment: Give finance, ops, and commercial teams a shared structure for trade-offs.
  • Risk awareness: Spot early indicators and prepare alternatives for supply, staffing, and facility issues.
  • Sustainability support: Tie energy and waste insights to maintenance and process changes with clear savings estimates.
  • Skill development: Enable managers and frontline leaders to run analyses without waiting on scarce analyst time.

How this course fits into your day-to-day

This is not a theory-first curriculum. You'll apply each lesson to your current priorities and leave with artifacts you can use immediately: structured analyses, summaries for stakeholders, and updates to your routines. The course shows how to integrate AI steps into your cadence-weekly reviews, S&OP cycles, maintenance windows, project stand-ups, customer feedback loops, and vendor meetings-so the benefits persist after the course ends.

Data, privacy, and compliance

Operational data often contains sensitive details. The course covers:

  • What to include and what to redact when preparing context for AI.
  • How to anonymize people data and vendor information appropriately.
  • How to document sources, assumptions, and approvals for auditability.
  • How to set boundaries around regulated data and work with internal policies.

Tooling and integrations

The approach is platform-agnostic. You can work with exports from ERP, WMS, CMMS, HRIS, BI dashboards, or spreadsheets. The course explains how to turn these inputs into clear context for AI and how to map outputs back into your tools (SOPs, tickets, dashboards, or project trackers). No coding is required, though optional suggestions are provided for teams with access to automation platforms.

Who should enroll

  • Operations managers and directors responsible for performance, quality, or throughput.
  • Supply chain, inventory, and facilities leaders seeking better planning and coordination.
  • Quality, HR operations, and customer experience managers who need clear, repeatable analyses.
  • Project management and PMO teams who translate strategy into delivery and resource plans.

Familiarity with spreadsheets and basic reporting concepts is helpful, but you do not need a data science background.

Learning format and time commitment

  • Concise lessons with clear outcomes and practical checklists.
  • Hands-on worksheets to document your context, constraints, and KPIs.
  • Short knowledge checks to reinforce key practices.
  • A capstone exercise where you connect multiple modules into a single, cohesive workflow for your operation.

How this course helps your team

  • Gives everyone a shared language for asking better questions and reviewing AI outputs.
  • Reduces dependency on a few "AI champions" by documenting repeatable methods.
  • Improves handoffs between functions with structured summaries and action lists.
  • Builds confidence by combining AI assistance with human judgment and clear quality checks.

What you take away
