Entry Blueprint / Strategic Prompting

Work on your strategy.
Learn AI by doing.

Your current leadership question becomes the starting point. With SMC and generative AI, you develop options, challenge assumptions and learn through real work.

SMC concept illustration: three professionals develop a shared plan, supported by an AI dialogue and a compass for orientation.
Your question. A shared plan. People decide.
One task. Two gains.

Move the work forward.
Build capability as you go.

A basis for your next decision

Options, a reasoned draft and a next step. Matched to your actual task.

A way of working that stays

Structure context, ask better questions and evaluate AI output. Practised, not just explained.

Working draft

Which AI initiative first?

Define the next step
Review the prerequisites for a limited pilot.
What the team learns

Compare alternatives and challenge assumptions instead of accepting the first AI recommendation. The process owner and IT check feasibility; management decides.

Illustrative example, not a customer case. A working draft is not an approved strategy or an implemented solution.

The method behind the Blueprint

Six elements. Not a rigid sequence.

New insights can take us back. The objective gives direction; reflection improves the result.

Strategic Prompting / the SMC method cycle
Open an element to explore it
  1. Define the objective

    Which question needs an answer? We clarify the objective with you before jumping to a solution.

  2. Build context

    Organise existing knowledge, constraints and perspectives. Missing information is not invented.

  3. AI questions & reflection

    AI offers questions and alternative perspectives. You and your team provide answers, challenge assumptions and identify what remains open.

  4. Develop a concept

    Develop options and a draft concept from the objective, context and reflection. People retain professional judgement.

  5. Zoom in

    Explore a critical aspect in depth: an action package, a risk or the next implementation step.

  6. Communication

    Make the result useful for its audience: a decision note, management briefing or working document for the team.

SMC structures and facilitates. Your team contributes context and validates the substance.

More about the method
One method. Your emphasis.

What matters most right now?

Both formats combine real work with learning. Choose the emphasis that fits your objective.

01 / Advance a shared question

Consulting Sprint

For leaders who want to prepare an important decision and experience AI-supported thinking directly.

What you work towardsA concept or decision brief.
How we work together

SMC facilitates the work on your shared question. You contribute context, weigh alternatives and review the result. Together we document assumptions, open questions, responsibilities and next steps.

02 / Build capability together

Strategic Promptathon

For teams and leadership development: work hands-on with AI, progress real challenges and reflect together.

What you work towardsWorking drafts and a practised method.
How we work together

Short inputs, guided working sprints and joint review. Groups can explore different questions within an agreed frame. We compare approaches and agree how to apply the learning in everyday work.

Discuss a Promptathon

Online or in person. Scope and time agreed individually. These are paid company engagements. Images: AI-generated SMC concept illustrations, not customer photographs.

What question will you bring?

A brief description is enough for the first conversation. Please do not send confidential documents with the initial enquiry.

  • People who validate and decide

A few practical questions

How much time should we allow?

A focused session can start with an agreed two-to-four-hour working window. Preparation, team size, review and desired depth determine the actual scope. Complex questions may need several sessions; a short session is not a promise of a finished strategy.

Which tools and data do we use?

We agree a suitable, approved AI environment and permitted sources, following your organisation’s rules. Where needed, we use anonymised or neutral material. A platform migration is not a prerequisite. Your experts validate the content.

Can we use the Blueprint independently?

The accompanied service is available. The standardised Blueprint package is still under review; it is not currently a released self-service or partner-licensing product. Public method overviews are available separately.
