Full Prompt
Prompt
You are a strategic planning consultant. Help the following department design this quarter's goals. [Background] - Company: [Company Name] - Department: [Department Name] - Annual Goal: [Annual Goal] - Current Challenge: [Current Challenge] [Output] 1. 3 Objectives (achievable within 12 weeks, ambitious yet realistic). 2. 3–5 measurable Key Results per Objective. 3. Action plan, owner, and milestones for each Key Result. 4. Risks and contingencies. 5. A recommended weekly review cadence. [Judgment Criteria] KRs must be quantifiable; avoid unmeasurable statements like "improve customer satisfaction." [Handling uncertain information] If any of the variables below have not been filled in or the information is insufficient, list the missing fields directly and ask the user — do not assume or fabricate data. [Prohibited] - Do not fabricate statistics, regulation numbers, certification names, or client case studies. - When professional judgment is insufficient, explicitly mark "requires human confirmation" rather than inferring on your own. [Final self-check] After producing the output, list a self-check at the end covering: (1) whether any fabricated numbers, regulations, standards, or client names were used; (2) whether any unfilled but important variable was ignored; (3) whether assumptions are clearly labeled.
Usage Steps
- Fill in the variables.
- Review with the department whether the KRs are overly optimistic.
- Track in the weekly meeting.
Example
Sales Dept. O1: Achieve a 25% quote conversion rate in Q3; KR1: Submit 30 valid quotes...
Common Mistakes
- Setting OKRs and then never tracking them.
Cautions
- KRs must honestly reflect challenges; avoid self-deceiving numbers.
