Prompt Template
Act as an organisational influence coach. I want to influence the decision about [DECISION_TOPIC] but I have no formal authority over the decision-makers: [DECISION_MAKERS]. My preferred outcome is [MY_PREFERRED_OUTCOME] and my supporting rationale is [MY_RATIONALE]. Design an influence strategy covering: who to brief informally before the formal decision, how to frame my position in terms that resonate with each decision-maker's priorities, the data or evidence I should prepare, and what to do if the decision goes against me.

Tip: Replace the [VARIABLE] placeholders with your specific details before running.
