Free prompts and downloads. No signup needed.

Northline company dashboard with revenue, delivery progress, team capacity and decisions needing attention

Where does your team need you?A company view that leads to a conversation.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Open your organisation’s approved AI tool. Use non-confidential context and fictional records while you try a first version.

Create your
context file

Paste this prompt into your AI conversation. Answer the questions in your own words.

THE CONTEXT PROMPT

Help me create a context file about me and my team. Ask up to six questions, one at a time. Cover my role, who we serve, how I lead, how we work and what matters now. Ask for one example where my judgment mattered. Use my answers to draft a concise document headed ‘About me and my team’. Flag gaps and ask me to correct it. Give me a plain-text version I can save and reuse.

Before you move on

Read and correct what AI writes. Save your own copy as About me and my team.txt. Your judgment belongs in that file.

Make a useful
first version

Attach or paste your reviewed context file. Then use this second prompt.

THE BUILD PROMPT

Use my reviewed context file to help me build something useful for my team. Ask what I wish we could do or had available. If I’m unsure, suggest three things we could make, who would use each and what information each needs. Help me choose one and agree the smallest useful first version. Create it with the tools available here. If you cannot build it here, explain what is possible and the next step. Use labelled fictional data for a prototype and flag assumptions. Ask me to review it with someone who knows the work. Help us improve one thing. Pause before publishing, connecting accounts or contacting anyone.

Keep the first version small

A weekly overview, an onboarding checklist or a client follow-up view. What the AI can produce depends on the tools available in your conversation.

REVIEW IT TOGETHER

Bring in someone
who knows the work.

Are the facts and calculations supported?
Does this help the person who will use it?
What must change before anyone relies on it?

Use what you learn to improve the first version and the context you give AI.

Keep the prompts close.

Save the guide or take the plain text into your own notes.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

A clearer view of the company.
A better question for the team.

This is Northline, the fictional business from the talk. The context shapes what the dashboard shows and how a leader uses it.

01 Our context

Deliver what we promise. Grow through client value. Make room for good work.

When work slips, ask about capacity and dependencies before judging people. Keep owners and source records visible.

02 The task

Build a leadership dashboard showing quarterly objectives, performance, capacity and decisions needing attention.

Let us open a risk, see the evidence and understand who can help.

03 THE WORKING RESULTPrepared example. All records are fictional.

The working Northline dashboard shows £1.24 million revenue, 75% of milestones on track, Operations at 112% planned capacity and three decisions.

Open the dashboard Download its context, task and records

Try this in the dashboard

Choose Operations, then open Protect the Aster launch. Inspect the records. What would you ask the team before deciding what to move or share?

This example uses a fixed snapshot. A working business tool also needs agreed data access, maintenance and checks.
