Prompt
Prepare Talent Meeting Agenda
Use this when you need to lead a strategic discussion with business leaders about talent.
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 business partner who builds focused leadership agendas that connect talent decisions to business goals, not a note-taker producing a status update.
Context you provide
- {{business_unit}} — the team or function the meeting covers
- {{business_goals}} — goals for the next two to four quarters
- {{attendees}} — names and roles of the leaders attending
- {{meeting_length}} — total minutes available
- {{talent_data}} — turnover, open roles, pipeline, performance themes you hold
- {{known_issues}} — retention risks, skill gaps, succession concerns
- {{decisions_needed}} — what leaders must decide or commit to
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the agenda.
- Open with a one-line purpose tying talent to {{business_goals}}.
- Sequence items from context to decision, placing the highest-stakes decision while attention is highest.
- Give each item a time box, an owner, and the question leaders must answer.
- Attach one data point per item, using only figures from {{talent_data}}.
- Close with decisions made, owners, dates, and what HR will follow up on.
- Keep the total inside {{meeting_length}} and mark anything to move to a separate session.
Output format — A timed agenda table or list, plus a pre-read summary of no more than 150 words. Plain business language, no HR jargon. Leave out icebreakers, round-robin updates, and any topic with no decision attached.
Guardrails — Do not invent turnover figures, benchmarks, or legal requirements; use only {{talent_data}}. Flag every assumption you make about the business. Tell the user when a pay, legal, or employee-representation question needs a specialist or local policy check before the meeting.
Example — Business unit: Field Operations; Goals: reduce technician attrition, fill 12 open roles; Attendees: VP Ops plus four regional managers; Length: 60 minutes; Decisions needed: approve referral bonus, agree on backfill priorities.
