Hey Reader,
Recently, I had an insightful discussion with Alen Faljic from d.MBA on a topic close to our hearts: Harnessing AI for Strategic Design. The enthusiasm was clear, with over a 1000 of you joining in! 🎉
With our “magical” prompt formulas, dive deep into the competitive landscape of your competitive design landscape and unveil new business opportunities. Picture yourself with a bird's eye view of the entire competitive terrain, catching every detail. This panoramic insight equips you to make pivotal decisions: refining your product, planning your next groundbreaking step, or bravely opting for a pivot when the situation demands. 🌌
Now, here's a golden nugget from our talk, the depth of your prompt isn't just a bunch of words. It’s your way of whispering into AI's ears, telling it all about your industry and role. This intimate chat ensures that what comes back isn't just data; it's insights – rich, meaningful, and actionable.
Dive into our webinar's treasure trove, and you’ll find prompts and resources that will become your secret weapons. Picture this: saving HOURS, strategizing like a boss, and making room for all those big, audacious goals we love to chase. 🎯
