To help SayPro generate a list of topics that aligns with its current and future priorities, the employee will need to craft 100 thoughtful and strategically targeted prompts for GPT. Each prompt should focus on extracting relevant, actionable information that meets SayPro’s needs in areas like strategic planning, monitoring, evaluation, and learning.
Here’s a step-by-step approach to create and organize these prompts:
Step 1: Define Key Focus Areas
Before creating the prompts, it’s important to identify the core focus areas where SayPro requires input. These could include, but are not limited to:
- Strategic Planning and Organizational Development
- Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Systems
- Data Collection and Analysis
- Learning and Knowledge Sharing
- Partnerships and External Relations
- Risk Management and Mitigation
- Capacity Building and Training
- Resource Allocation and Budgeting
- Technology and Innovation in Strategic Implementation
- Sustainability and Long-term Impact
Step 2: Crafting Specific Prompts
Each of the 100 prompts should be targeted towards extracting actionable insights in these focus areas. Below are example prompts for each key area, to help guide the creation of the full list.
A. Strategic Planning and Organizational Development
- “What are the emerging trends in strategic planning for NGOs in 2025, and how can SayPro adapt these trends?”
- “What are best practices for aligning organizational mission with strategic goals in the nonprofit sector?”

- “How can SayPro build a culture of continuous learning and improvement?”
E. Partnerships and External Relations
- “What strategies can SayPro use to build stronger partnerships with donors and government agencies?”
- “How can SayPro foster collaboration with international NGOs for greater program impact?”
- “What are the key elements for maintaining successful long-term partnerships in the development sector?”
- “How can SayPro improve its communication and reporting processes with external partners?”
F. Risk Management and Mitigation
- “What are the most common risks in implementing nonprofit programs, and how can SayPro mitigate them?”
- “How can SayPro incorporate a risk management framework into its strategic planning?”
- “What are the best practices for assessing risk in community-based projects?”
- “How can SayPro prepare its teams for potential financial and operational risks?”
G. Capacity Building and Training
- “What training programs can SayPro offer to enhance staff capacity in program implementation?”
- “How can SayPro create an effective training curriculum for new team members?”
- “What are the most successful capacity-building models in nonprofit organizations?”
- “How can SayPro measure the effectiveness of its training and development initiatives?”
H. Resource Allocation and Budgeting
- “What tools can SayPro use to optimize resource allocation across its programs?”
- “How can SayPro ensure its budgeting process aligns with strategic priorities?”
- “What strategies can SayPro use to secure funding for long-term strategic goals?”
- “How can SayPro improve its financial sustainability through efficient resource management?”
I. Technology and Innovation in Strategic Implementation
- “What role does technology play in improving the implementation of nonprofit strategies?”
- “How can SayPro leverage data visualization tools for better decision-making?”
- “What are the benefits of using cloud-based project management software for strategic alignment?”
- “How can SayPro adopt digital tools for remote monitoring and evaluation?”
J. Sustainability and Long-term Impact
- “What strategies can SayPro adopt to ensure the long-term sustainability of its programs?”
- “How can SayPro integrate environmental sustainability into its strategic planning?”
- “What are the best practices for measuring the long-term impact of nonprofit initiatives?”
- “How can SayPro ensure that its programs continue to have a lasting impact after funding ends?”
Step 3: Expand to 100 Prompts
Following the format above, continue to generate additional prompts. For a complete list of 100 prompts, you’ll want to ensure each focus area is represented, and that the questions cover a broad spectrum of issues related to strategic planning, M&E, data analysis, learning, partnerships, and sustainability.
Some prompts could be iterative, asking about the same topic from different angles or for different phases in the process (e.g., pre-planning, during implementation, post-implementation). Additionally, some prompts can address emerging challenges and trends, as these could directly influence SayPro’s strategic priorities.
Step 4: Organize and Review
Once the 100 prompts are compiled, organize them by theme or focus area to ensure they cover all of SayPro’s core needs. The prompts should also be reviewed to ensure they meet the following criteria:
- Alignment with SayPro’s mission: The topics should focus on improving or evolving the organization’s impact, capacity, and strategic direction.
- Future Focus: Ensure that the prompts also take into account future needs, such as potential changes in the nonprofit sector, technological advances, or shifting global priorities.
- Clarity and Specificity: Make sure the prompts are clear and specific enough to elicit valuable responses from GPT.
Step 5: Input the Prompts into GPT
Once the 100 prompts are finalized:
- Input them into GPT (in batches if necessary) to generate a comprehensive list of topics, ideas, and recommendations that align with SayPro’s updated strategy and priorities.
Step 6: Review the Output
After GPT generates the topic list, the employee will need to:
- Review the topics generated by GPT, ensuring they are relevant and applicable to SayPro’s strategic planning process.
- Refine the output by summarizing key insights or prioritizing topics that are most critical for the organization’s success.
This process will allow SayPro to gather strategic insights from the GPT-generated topics and use them for further development, ensuring that its strategies are aligned with both current and future goals.
