The Bionic Plan: Marrying Strategy and *AI*

Marrying Strategy and AI creates a Bionic Plan. “We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better, stronger, faster.”¹

Does AI matter? You bet it does. Everyone is talking about it. But is anyone making sense, or are they just making noise? “You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything”, as David Byrne would say. 

Bottom line up front: Generative AI is a tool, not a magic solution. Making AI relevant is like a Texas 2-Step: (1) You need specific operational and financial data to feed to the generative AI machine;  (2) you need powerful AI prompts that will make your plans stand up and your services punch hard. Bionic. Here's how (scroll to bottom for an example).

Anyone can talk about AI for business advisors. But not everyone can help you generate killer data and give you the prompts you need to make that data both actionable and hyper-client specific. For example, Growth-Drive’s analysis tools generate data, and our training is designed to help you integrate AI immediately into your profit and equity value growth engagements. 

Growth-Drive is where business advisors go to be great at what they do. You can count on us to give you the tools you need to succeed. 

So the big question is this: “How do you make AI relevant to your advisory business?”

First, you can participate in free webinars like "AI Uncovered: Killer Prompts for Strategic Planning & Execution Leadership". During the webinar you'll learn specific prompts you can use with clients immediately. 

Next, the Growth-Drive Summit is devoting a big chunk of time to two workshops:

1. After completing the first workshop you and your multi-disciplinary team will have applied leading tools to a case fact set, creating a bullet-point strategic growth plan. [This high-impact exercise recognizes that profit growth and equity planning are a team sport, thank you Growth Specialist Michael Desiato CPA CEPA of @bt-specialists.com]
   
   
2. After completing the second workshop you and your team will have used Generative AI to your plan, creating a hyper-relevant set of client KPIs, milestones, and more. Think size, industry and geographically relevant and built using your client’s operational DNA. It’s like a Bionic Plan. 

Does this sound like it will help you increase your reach and relevance? Get tools and training both now and as these powerful technologies evolve. Who has your back? We do.

OK, here's your example: Let's have some fun. Use ChatGPT 3.5 and enter the following prompt: "Create a 3 month project plan, with start and end dates for each phase, from which a business can achieve the following result. Break the objective into sprints and create a success metric for each sprint: "Within 3 months develop an effective leadership team that is aligned with and accountable to the business' vision and mission.”  OK, that's entry level - the Growth-Drive system has 3 sets of 8 sophisticated growth-driving objectives, you;re just scratching the surface. 

For even more fun, run the same prompt in Google Bard - how could this be integrated into the first result?

If you have ChatGPT 4 with web access set to 6 results, enter the same prompt. Wow. And this is a teaser...

...just imagine what you'll learn by being a part of Growth-Drive's profit and value growth community. You'll be delivering bionic results, we promise.
