How to effectively learn AI Prompting, with the 'AI for Managing Directors (Prompt Course)'?
Lead with Confidence: Practical AI Skills for Managing Directors
This prompt course gives managing directors a complete, practical system for using AI and ChatGPT to support high-stakes decisions, increase execution speed, and improve communication across the organization. It is structured around the major responsibilities of a managing director and shows how AI can assist with strategy, financial stewardship, people leadership, market insight, risk control, and crisis response-without demanding technical expertise.
Across the modules, you will learn how to turn strategic goals into clear AI tasks, how to frame questions that yield board-ready outputs, and how to integrate AI results into your regular management rhythms. The course focuses on measurable outcomes: better decisions, faster cycles, clearer narratives, and stronger governance.

- Board members and chiefs of staff who support enterprise-level decision making
What you will learn
- How to turn strategic priorities into well-structured AI tasks that create clarity and momentum
- How to move from raw data and notes to decision-grade summaries, options, and risks
- How to establish prompt workflows that support planning, forecasting, people analytics, and project delivery
- How to build repeatable processes for market sensing, competitor tracking, and innovation scouting
- How to apply AI for legal and compliance checks, risk registers, and incident response coordination
- How to improve stakeholder communication with concise, consistent, and credible narratives
- How to measure impact, set guardrails, and govern AI use at the leadership level
Course structure and included modules
The course consists of interlocking modules, each focused on a core leadership responsibility. Each module provides a coherent set of prompts and workflows you can use in real meetings and reporting cycles.
- Strategic Planning: Turn strategic goals into scenarios, priorities, and execution roadmaps that are easy to communicate and review.
- Financial Analysis: Support capital allocation, margin improvement, and cash decisions with AI-assisted modeling narratives and variance analysis.
- Employee Productivity Analysis: Identify blockers, streamline workflows, and convert observations into measurable changes in output and engagement.
- Market Research: Build a consistent view of customers, competitors, and demand signals that informs both strategy and go-to-market plans.
- Risk Management: Maintain a live risk register, stress-test plans, and create mitigation playbooks linked to strategic objectives.
- Stakeholder Communication: Craft clear updates for boards, investors, partners, and employees that stay aligned across channels.
- Project Management: Turn goals into milestones, ensure ownership, and maintain disciplined follow-through with concise status reporting.
- Innovation & R&D: Prioritize ideas, assess feasibility, and connect research insights to commercial outcomes.
- CSR Initiatives: Define objectives, set metrics, and produce transparent progress updates that stand up to scrutiny.
- Legal Compliance: Improve policy clarity, spot inconsistencies, and prepare documentation that supports audits and reviews.
- Talent Acquisition Strategies: Align hiring with business needs, define profiles, and improve interview consistency and fairness.
- Crisis Management: Structure incident intake, coordinate actions, and communicate updates effectively under pressure.
How the prompts are structured
Each module's prompts follow a consistent pattern so you can apply them quickly:
- Objective framing: Clarifies what decision or outcome is needed and by when
- Context and constraints: Captures the data, policies, and limits that the output must respect
- Output format: Ensures results arrive as decision packs, action plans, dashboards, or briefs
- Quality checks: Adds validation steps, risk flags, and suggested follow-ups
- Iteration cues: Guides amendments and improvements based on stakeholder feedback
Using the prompts effectively
- Start with the decision: State the decision, criteria, and constraints before asking for analysis.
- Provide just enough context: Include KPIs, deadlines, and limits; skip unrelated detail.
- Standardize outputs: Ask for the same structure every time to speed review and comparison.
- Separate generation and critique: First generate options, then run a critique pass for risks and blind spots.
- Use iteration intentionally: Update with new facts, stakeholder comments, and revised targets; keep version notes.
- Protect sensitive data: Remove personally identifiable information and confidential figures unless using approved tools.
- Decide with evidence: Ask for sources and assumptions; request confidence ratings and alternative views.
How the modules work together
The true value comes from cross-module synergy. Strategic Planning sets direction; Market Research and Innovation & R&D provide input signals; Financial Analysis converts plans into numbers; Risk Management challenges assumptions and prepares mitigations; Project Management drives execution; Stakeholder Communication and CSR frame narratives and accountability; Legal Compliance checks policies and obligations; Talent Acquisition and Employee Productivity ensure you have the people and capacity to deliver; Crisis Management keeps the organization ready for shocks.
- Strategy-to-execution loop: Plans flow into projects, results cycle back into strategy updates.
- Insight-to-investment: Market and R&D insights inform financial scenarios and capital choices.
- Risk-aware decisions: Every major decision gets a quick risk pass and mitigation steps.
- One narrative: Messages stay consistent across board decks, investor notes, press, and internal updates.
- People-first delivery: Hiring, capability, and productivity data connect directly to plan feasibility.
Governance, ethics, and risk
Responsible use is built into the course. You will see how to establish guardrails so prompts and outputs align with company policy and regulatory expectations.
- Guidelines for handling sensitive data and confidential information
- Ways to check for bias, unsupported claims, and policy conflicts
- Approval paths for high-impact outputs before external use
- Auditability through version control and decision logs
Operational rollout and change management
Prompts only help if they become part of daily work. The course includes practical advice on embedding AI in leadership routines and team processes.
- Set a small pilot with clear success criteria and timelines
- Create prompt libraries by function with shared templates
- Define roles: who requests, who reviews, who approves
- Integrate outputs into existing meetings and dashboards
- Provide short training for chiefs of staff and EA teams to prepare decision packs
Measuring value and ROI
To keep adoption grounded, the course emphasizes measurement and accountability.
- Speed: Time saved in preparing briefs, plans, and reports
- Quality: Reduction in rework and clearer decisions with stated criteria
