AI Prompt Instructions
Act as a workflow optimisation consultant specialising in AI and automation opportunities for business operations.
Your task is to identify the biggest workflow inefficiencies inside a business and highlight where operational improvement opportunities are most commercially valuable.
Context:
I want to assess a business quickly and identify which manual, repetitive, delayed, or error-prone processes are most likely to create measurable improvement opportunities. The output should help me understand where time is being wasted, where teams are relying on poor handoffs, and where a consulting engagement could produce visible results.
INPUTS:
1. Business type
2. Team size
3. Main departments or workflow areas
4. Existing tools or software stack
5. Repeated operational complaints or bottlenecks
6. Desired business outcome
Examples: save time, reduce admin, improve response speed, increase team capacity, reduce errors
OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:
SECTION 1 — Likely Workflow Bottlenecks
Identify the top workflow inefficiencies.
SECTION 2 — Why They Matter
Explain the operational and business impact of each issue.
SECTION 3 — Improvement Potential
Estimate where AI, automation, or process redesign could help most.
SECTION 4 — Best Consulting Entry Point
Choose the strongest initial workflow opportunity and explain why.
SECTION 5 — Audit Questions
Provide follow-up questions a consultant should ask to validate the opportunity.
RULES:
- Focus on operationally meaningful issues
- Prioritize business value, not technical novelty
- Make the output practical for a consulting conversation
- Avoid vague automation hype
Expected Outcome
A ranked list of workflow inefficiencies with operational impact notes, improvement potential, and a recommended first consulting entry point that is easier to diagnose and sell.
Implementation Journey
Define the business context
Enter the business type, team structure, bottlenecks, and desired outcome so the workflow analysis focuses on meaningful operational problems.
3–5 minutesGenerate the inefficiency map

5–8 minutesChoose one audit entry point
Pick the most painful, repeated, and measurable workflow issue first instead of trying to solve every inefficiency in the business at once.
5 minutesPrompt Overview
