AI Learning Group: Pressure Testing Strategy

Instructions, prompts, and resources for using AI to pressure test systems change strategies.

Today's activity:

You will drive the LLM, using the platform of your choice. You will be responsible for pasting each prompt, uploading your strategy document, reviewing the results, and individually reflecting on them.

The flow of the prompts:

The prompts gradually deepen the LLM's understanding and value-add responses from an entry point into deeper thinking. For this reason, make sure to get to the final prompt, even if it means not fully reading all the content offered along the way.​​

You have two choices. Click on one and follow the instructions.

Devil's Advocate

This LLM training is designed to pressure test the strategy against known failures related to philanthropy and power dynamics in complex, adaptive systems. It will consider the strategy from multiple perspectives, explore who stands to gain from the strategy, look for the road not taken, and ultimately craft an alternative strategy. 

Premortem

This LLM training is designed to test for strategic blind spots, attending to systems-change practices and how power and exclusion operate within systems. It will describe the spectacular failure of the strategy, why and how it happened, who benefits from the failure, and what the strategists missed. Ultimately, it will craft a disruptive strategy designed to maximize impact and avoid failures.
