AI can be a great partner in coming up with things you can do. Here is how you can get started brainstorming with AI.
To use so called generative AI to come up with ideas for how to be an impact intrapreneur, you need to feed the AI with a so called “prompt”. A prompt is basically an instruction of what you want the AI to do. As you write a prompt, see the AI as a person who works for you, helping you with various things. Here is a prompt template that you can use, where you simply replace the text in brackets to make it specific to your situation:
I work as a/an [insert your role here, for example “nurse”, “factory worker”, “assistant”, “CEO”, “software developer” or similar] at [insert your workplace here, for example “a hospital”, “a company who print books”, “a consultancy helping other companies with change management”]. Come up with one list of ten big ideas for what I can do at my workplace to contribute more to the Sustainable Development Goals. Also come up with a list of ten small low hanging fruits for what I can do at my workplace to contribute more to the Sustainable Development Goals. Make all ideas as specific as possible. For every idea, include which of the SDGs the idea is linked to. Make sure that the ideas target a diverse mix of SDGs.
After you use this prompt you can keep submitting prompts based on the response you get in order to refine it further until you have ideas you want to pursue. This first prompt should already give you a great list to get started.
If you want to really get a diverse set of ideas, you can ask AI to come up with one idea per SDG using this prompt:
I work as a/an [insert your role here, for example “nurse”, “factory worker”, “assistant”, “CEO”, “software developer” or similar] at [insert your workplace here, for example “a hospital”, “a company who print books”, “a consultancy helping other companies with change management”]. Come up with one list of ideas for what I can do at my workplace to contribute more to the Sustainable Development Goals. Create one idea for each of the seventeen goals. Make all ideas as specific as possible. For every idea, include which of the SDGs the idea is linked to.
To use these prompts, you can use any generative AI solution. Here are some of them you can experiment with (tap the logo to access the tool):
Perhaps try all of them and see how the responses differ from each other?
Hope helps.
