Don't leave leaders in the lurch

We see two big dangers in this moment: Waiting for clarity and treating AI adoption solely as an IT issue. Harness Intelligence helps your leaders overcome both challenges:

To counter analysis paralysis, our approach encourages embracing uncertainty as fuel for productive experimentation. Our FutureLab™ workshop grounds this exploration by focusing on your organization's value chain, today and tomorrow. Keeping the customer central allows leaders to strategically envision new possibilities, accelerate value delivery, and manage risk effectively.
We position AI interaction as a fundamental human capability, not merely a technical task. In our programs, participants experience generative AI tools as collaborative partners. This crucial mindset shift equips leaders to integrate AI effectively – treating it less like a chatbot and more like a valuable, albeit different, kind of colleague.

Prompted: Mapping Stakeholder Priorities

December 14, 2024

Mapping Stakeholder Priorities By Richard Hodge , Co-Founder of Harness Intelligence Unlock the Power of AI with Purposeful Prompts Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Google Gemini are transforming how professionals solve problems, innovate, and strategize. The key lies in crafting the right prompts and providing the right context. Each week, I’ll share a prompt and explain how to use it for maximum impact in your business role. This Week’s Prompt: Mapping Stakeholder Priorities "You are a seasoned business consultant in the [insert] industry. Identify the top three priorities for [specific stakeholder group, e.g., senior leadership, frontline employees, or customers] within [specific context or initiative, e.g., digital transformation, operational efficiency, or customer retention]. Outline actionable strategies that align with these priorities and explain their potential impact on business goals. Include strategies they are likely to already be thinking of, and a few that might be off their radar." How to Use It: Define the AI’s role and the Stakeholder Group you are targeting: In most cases, asking the AI to function as an industry consultant is a good start. Be specific about the group you're focusing on. For instance, are you considering the C-suite, a cross-functional team, or an external customer segment? Set the Context: Provide detailed information about the initiative or challenge. For example: For a digital transformation, mention tools, timelines, and objectives.For customer retention, share current metrics and customer feedback. Align with Business Goals: Clarify overarching company objectives, such as profitability, or sustainability. Relevance Understanding stakeholder priorities ensures that your strategies resonate with their needs and drive alignment. This prompt helps leaders and professionals think critically about who their stakeholders are and what success looks like from their perspective. Harnessing Insights Across Industries This prompt is versatile, applicable whether you're a marketer brainstorming customer engagement campaigns, an operations leader optimizing processes, or an HR professional spearheading organizational change. The real magic happens when you provide rich, specific details—so the AI can deliver insights that feel tailor-made for your challenges.
