Advanced Prompt Engineering

Use advanced prompting techniques to manage complex workplace tasks without losing control of the process or the final decision. You’ll learn how to break down projects, compare possible approaches, connect prompts into structured workflows, coordinate AI with tools and source material, and review results before they are shared or used.

What you'll learn: 

  • Plan Complex Workplace Tasks: Break large assignments into clear stages, identify required inputs and decisions, and use step-back prompting to establish the broader context before beginning detailed work.
  • Compare Approaches and Make Better Decisions: Ask AI to develop multiple possible solutions, compare them using business criteria such as effort, cost, risk, and impact, and present a clear decision brief for human review.
  • Build Multi-Step Prompt Workflows: Connect focused prompts so that the output from one stage becomes the input for the next, while preserving the source material, requirements, terminology, and approved decisions.
  • Use AI to Create and Improve Prompts: Apply meta-prompting to build reusable prompts for reports, communications, research, project planning, and other recurring workplace assignments.
  • Coordinate AI with Tools and Information Sources: Use a reason, act, observe, and adjust process to combine AI with documents, web research, calculations, connected tools, and human approval points.
  • Review, Verify, and Deliver Final Work: Evaluate multiple responses, identify unsupported claims or missed requirements, verify important information, and package the final result with assumptions, open questions, sources, and next steps.
You can design advanced AI workflows to plan projects, analyze workplace information, compare options, use tools, review outputs, and produce more reliable deliverables.
