Top prompts for consultants
1. Write an executive summary
“Write an exec summary”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Write a consulting executive summary for a 40-page operational efficiency report delivered to a retail client. Structure: situation (1 sentence — what was assessed), complication (2 sentences — what the analysis found), key findings (3 bullets with specific data points), recommendation (1 sentence — what we recommend), and next steps (3 bullets). Max 250 words. Pyramid principle structure throughout.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
2. Structure a strategy deck
“Help me structure my deck”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Structure a 12-slide strategy deck for presenting a digital transformation roadmap to a 500-person professional services firm. Use the Situation-Complication-Resolution narrative framework. For each slide: the one key message (one sentence), the main supporting evidence or visual, and one question the audience is likely to ask. Flag the 3 slides where the argument is weakest and needs strengthening.”

3. Apply a business framework
“Analyse my business using a framework”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want

For each force, give: a strength rating (high/medium/low), 2–3 specific supporting points with examples, and one strategic implication for a new market entrant. Present as a structured table with a 3-sentence strategic summary at the end. Be specific — no generic textbook points.”
