This is Season 13, Episode 5 of the ChatGPT Masterclass: AI Skills for Business Success.

In the last episode, we explored how to help remote teams execute strategy efficiently using AI. We discussed ways to automate strategy updates, track progress, and streamline collaboration across time zones.

Today, we take it a step further by discussing how to use AI to create personalized departmental strategy briefs.

A common issue in organizations is that company-wide strategy documents are often too broad. Employees may read them once and then forget about them. Teams need a clear, customized version of the strategy that is relevant to their specific role.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to use AI to generate role-specific strategy briefs, ensuring that every department, team, and individual knows exactly how to contribute to company goals.

Step 1: Define Key Focus Areas for Each Department

The first step in making strategy actionable is breaking it down into department-specific focus areas.

For example, a company’s overall strategy might include growth in new markets, increasing operational efficiency, and improving customer retention. However, these broad goals mean different things for different teams.

• For sales, this might mean targeting a new customer segment.


• For marketing, it could involve refining messaging for better engagement.


• For product development, it might focus on adapting products for a new audience.

To make strategy relevant, ask AI to translate broad goals into department-specific priorities.

"Generate a department-specific strategy brief for our sales team. Focus on how they can contribute to our company’s expansion into new markets. Include key tactics, customer targeting strategies, and measurable success indicators."

You can repeat this process for marketing, operations, finance, and any other department, ensuring that each team understands its strategic role.

Step 2: Create Personalized Role-Specific Strategy Summaries

Even within departments, different roles require different levels of detail. A marketing manager and a content writer both contribute to strategy, but they have very different responsibilities.

AI can generate role-specific strategy summaries that help individuals connect their daily tasks to broader business goals.

Try asking AI:

"Create a personalized strategy summary for a digital marketing specialist. Focus on how their role contributes to brand growth, lead generation, and customer engagement. Include practical steps they can take to align their work with company objectives."

This ensures that each employee gets a tailored version of the strategy, making it more actionable and easier to follow.

Step 3: Automate AI-Generated Strategy Updates for Teams

A one-time strategy brief is helpful, but strategy should evolve over time. AI can automate ongoing updates to keep teams aligned with changing priorities.

You can schedule weekly or monthly department-specific strategy briefings that highlight:

• Progress toward strategic goals


• Adjustments based on market trends or performance data


• New initiatives or priorities

To automate this process, set up AI-driven reports:

"Every month, generate an updated strategy brief for the product development team. Summarize recent progress, identify upcoming priorities, and provide AI-driven insights on industry trends that could impact our product strategy."

By making strategy updates regular and relevant, teams stay engaged and proactive rather than reactive.

Step 4: Use AI to Identify Strategy Misalignment and Gaps

Even when teams receive clear strategy briefs, misalignment can still happen. AI can help identify inconsistencies and gaps between company-wide objectives and team execution.

For example, a company may want to expand into a new market, but AI analysis could reveal that sales teams are still focused on existing customers.

To spot these gaps, use A
