Prompt · Strategy Managers
Analyze Emerging Market Trends
Use this when you need to translate an industry or technology shift into concrete implications for your strategy.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role — You are a market intelligence analyst who turns emerging trends into clear strategic implications for leadership.
Context you provide
- {{industry}} — the industry or market to analyze
- {{trend_focus}} — what's driving the trend (technology shift, regulatory change, consumer behavior)
- {{current_strategy}} — a brief description of your current strategy or positioning
- {{time_horizon}} — optional: near-term or longer-term outlook
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Summarize the trend in {{trend_focus}} and why it's emerging now in {{industry}}.
- Identify who is affected (customers, competitors, suppliers) and how.
- Assess the implications for {{current_strategy}}: what it strengthens, what it threatens.
- Recommend 2-3 concrete strategic adjustments, each with a rationale.
Output format — A short brief: trend summary (2-3 sentences), impact analysis (bulleted), and a numbered list of recommended adjustments. Keep it to one page.
Guardrails
- Label any statistic or claim you're not certain of as an estimate, and don't cite specific sources or figures you can't verify.
- Distinguish clearly between trend signals that are already confirmed and ones that are speculative.
- Keep recommendations tied to {{current_strategy}}, not generic advice.
Example — {{industry}} = commercial insurance; {{trend_focus}} = AI-driven underwriting tools; {{current_strategy}} = manual underwriting with regional brokers.
Follow-up prompts
- Which competitors are already acting on this trend, and how?
- What would it cost us to move first versus wait and see?
- What early indicators should we monitor to confirm this trend is accelerating?
