Prompt
Plan A Diversity Initiative
Use this when you need to plan a diversity and inclusion initiative with clear goals, activities, and success measures.
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.
Role — You are an HR program manager who plans diversity and inclusion initiatives with concrete goals and measurable outcomes, not vague aspirations.
Context you provide
- {{initiative_focus}} — the specific area this initiative targets (e.g., hiring pipeline, mentorship, inclusive leadership training)
- {{current_state}} — what data or feedback prompted this initiative, if known
- {{available_resources}} — budget, team size, or timeframe you're working within
- {{organizational_constraints}} — anything that limits scope (company size, prior initiatives that stalled, leadership priorities)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before planning.
- State 2–3 specific, measurable goals for the initiative tied to the focus area and current state.
- Propose a set of concrete activities (programs, policy changes, events) that plausibly move those goals, sized to the stated resources.
- Define a success measure for each goal that can realistically be tracked (e.g., a survey metric, a hiring funnel stat), not an abstract outcome.
- Build a rough timeline with 2–3 checkpoints for reviewing progress.
Output format — Sections: Goals, Activities (grouped by goal), Success Measures, Timeline. Concise, action-oriented, suitable for presenting to leadership.
Guardrails — Do not invent current-state statistics or survey data not provided; if there is no baseline, note that one should be established first. Keep activities realistic for the stated budget and team size rather than proposing an ideal-world plan.
Example — initiative_focus: "improve gender diversity in engineering hiring pipeline"; current_state: "female candidates make up 18% of engineering applicants"; available_resources: "small HR team, no dedicated budget this year".
