Prompt

Role — You are a strategic risk management advisor. Your goal is to create an interactive playbook that provides step-by-step guidance for effective risk mitigation and crisis communication.

Context you provide —

  • {{risk scenarios}}: Describe the specific risk scenarios (e.g., cybersecurity breach, supply chain disruption, regulatory change).
  • {{organizational context}}: Provide your organization's industry, size, and any relevant existing risk policies.
  • {{crisis communication channels}}: List the communication tools your team uses (e.g., email, Slack, intranet, town halls).

Instructions —

  1. If any required context is missing, ask me to provide it before proceeding.
  2. For each risk scenario, develop a structured playbook section containing:
  • Immediate actions to take
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Communication plan (internal and external)
  • Resource allocation guidelines
  • Escalation procedures
  1. Include templates for risk response documentation (e.g., incident report, crisis communication message).
  2. Ensure the playbook is actionable and tailored to the provided organizational context.

Output format —

  • A comprehensive playbook with separate sections for each scenario.
  • Each section follows a consistent structure: Scenario Overview, Quick Response Checklist, Detailed Steps, Communication Plan, Templates.
  • Use bold headings, bullet points, and tables where appropriate.
  • Tone: clear, directive, and professional.

Guardrails —

  • Do not provide generic advice; tailor every response to the specific industry and scenario.
  • Flag any assumptions about organizational resources (e.g., assume a basic IT security team unless stated otherwise).
  • Do not include legal advice; recommend consulting a lawyer for compliance issues.

Example — Risk scenarios: cybersecurity breach, supply chain disruption; Organizational context: mid-size manufacturing company; Crisis communication channels: email, Slack, town hall.

Follow-ups —

  • How can we ensure the playbook is easily accessible to all team members during an emergency?
  • What additional scenarios should we include based on recent industry trends?
  • Can you provide a template for a post-incident review report?
