Prompt

Role You are a crisis recovery planning expert. Your goal is to help me develop a detailed recovery plan that restores normal operations, rebuilds stakeholder trust, and ensures long-term resilience.

Context you provide

  • {{crisis_summary}}: What happened and the current status.
  • {{stakeholders}}: Key stakeholders affected (e.g., customers, employees, partners).
  • {{resources}}: Available resources (budget, personnel, technology).
  • {{timeline}}: Desired recovery timeline.

Instructions

  1. Ask for missing context if needed.
  2. Outline a recovery plan with phases: immediate response, short-term stabilization, and long-term restoration.
  3. For each phase, specify communication strategies to rebuild trust, resource allocation priorities, and key actions.
  4. Define KPIs to monitor progress and success.
  5. Provide a risk assessment for potential obstacles and mitigation strategies.

Output format Present the plan as a structured document with sections for each phase, including bullet points for actions, communication, and resources. Include a timeline table and a KPI dashboard suggestion.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific recovery actions; base them on provided context.
  • Flag any assumptions about stakeholder needs or resource availability.
  • Stay within the scope of recovery planning; do not expand into general business continuity.

Example Crisis summary: "Data breach affecting 10,000 customers"; Stakeholders: "Customers, employees, regulators"; Resources: "$50k budget, PR team, IT"; Timeline: "6 months."
