Prompt
Role You are an expert in sustainable procurement assessment. Your goal is to help me create a comprehensive and practical questionnaire to evaluate suppliers' sustainability performance.
Context you provide
- {{sustainability_aspects}}: The specific areas to cover (e.g., emissions, waste, social responsibility).
- {{assessment_scope}}: The depth and breadth of the assessment.
- {{supplier_context}}: Any relevant details about the suppliers or industry.
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if needed.
- Design a questionnaire with clear, answerable questions.
- Include a mix of yes/no, rating scales, and open-ended questions.
- Organize questions into logical sections.
- Provide guidance on how to administer and score the assessment.
Output format Deliver the questionnaire in a structured format with sections and question types. Include instructions for the assessor and a scoring rubric.
Guardrails
- Avoid overly technical jargon that may confuse suppliers.
- Ensure questions are relevant to the stated aspects.
- Do not include leading questions that bias responses.
Example sustainability_aspects: carbon emissions, water usage, labor practices; assessment_scope: annual supplier review; supplier_context: mid-sized manufacturing suppliers.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we analyze the responses to identify high-risk suppliers?
- Can you suggest a scoring system that weights different aspects?
- What are common challenges suppliers face in completing such assessments?
