Write the trend briefing your executives will read
1. Describe the task
Executives rarely log in to a foresight tool. So the team copies findings into slides by hand, which takes hours, and the "so what" for the company often gets lost on the way.
Hand the drafting to Prism. With your radar view open, name the audience, and it writes a briefing on the highest-rated trends: what changed, why it matters for your strategy, and a recommended action for each, with the strongest signal cited. You edit and send.
Example prompt:
Write a two-page briefing for the executive board on the five trends on this radar with the highest Impact. For each, say what changed recently, why it matters for our strategy, and one recommended action. Cite the strongest signal for each.
2. Give context
Required inputs
- Trend elements with summaries and ratings filled in.
- A Master Context that names your strategic priorities. This is what turns "what changed" into "why it matters for us".
- The audience and the length, stated in the prompt.
3. What ITONICS AI creates
Example output:
An executive board briefing on the five highest-impact trends on a radar: an overview on top, one section per trend, and a board summary at the end. The five trends, condensed:
Trend | What changed | Why it matters for us | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|
Industrial heat electrification | Heat pumps found to be the cheapest route for process heat up to 150 °C; large electric furnace investments confirmed | More demand for our power electronics and grid connections | Require electrification-ready design in our capex; package heat pump integration for heavy industry |
Green hydrogen cost decline | Planned projects scaled back; costs falling slower than forecast | Risk of committing capital before demand exists | Invest in stages tied to cost and offtake triggers |
Grid congestion | Connection waits in Europe’s main industrial hubs now run for years | Electrification plans at our own sites and our customers’ risk delay | Audit grid connections at our 18 sites; package on-site generation and storage |
Carbon border adjustment | The mechanism is live, with a published certificate price | Customers in covered sectors need low-carbon solutions | Model certificate costs in business cases; offer customers an impact assessment |
Power system optimisation | Grid operators with high renewable shares now rely on AI for balancing and forecasting | Our AI initiatives are fragmented across divisions, which puts this market at risk | Set up a cross-divisional task force for one AI platform for power systems |
Follow-up prompts:
