AI Strategy vs AI Tactics: Moving Beyond Basic Prompts to Strategic Conversations
This guide accompanies our video exploring how to elevate your AI interactions from simple task-based prompts to strategic business conversations. As AI tools evolve into AI assistants, it’s crucial to shift our approach from “how to prompt” to “what to prompt.”
The Strategic Shift in AI Communication
Many users get stuck in tactical thinking, focusing solely on basic prompts like “write this” or “create that.” While these tasks have their place, the real power of AI comes from treating it as a strategic business partner rather than just a tool.
Here’s the key mindset shift: Instead of being an employee learning prompts, position yourself as a manager having meaningful conversations with your AI assistant about business transformation and growth.
Three Core Principles for Strategic AI Conversations
- Stop Asking AI to Do Your Homework
Instead of “Write me 10 questions,” ask “Help me identify which of my existing skills has the biggest market demand and least competition.” - Avoid Requesting Random Content
Rather than “Write me 10 social media posts,” try “Help me transform my core expertise into content that positions me as the go-to expert in my field.” - Move Beyond One-Off Help
Leverage AI’s memory capabilities for ongoing strategic discussions rather than disposable prompts.
15 Strategic Conversations to Have with Your AI Assistant
🎥 Video Timestamp: 5:30 – Examples of strategic conversations begin
1. The “Help Me Figure It Out” Conversation
Example prompt: “I’m thinking about starting an online course business, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. There seems to be a lot of competition in this space. Can we analyze whether this makes sense for me?”
This approach:
- Uses natural conversational tone
- Admits uncertainty
- Seeks strategic guidance rather than tactical solutions
2. The “I’m Stuck” Conversation
Example prompt: “I’m going back and forth between starting with a course or coaching first. Here’s my situation… If you were me, what would you do and why?”
3. The “Challenge My Thinking” Conversation
Example prompt: “I’ve been planning this approach to my online course. Before I dive in, can you poke holes in my strategy and identify potential blind spots?”
