Think with the Machine Workshop
From Prompts to Productivity Workshop 2
Most professionals have now tried AI tools but never tried to think with the machine. They’ve asked ChatGPT to rewrite an email, summarize a meeting, or brainstorm a few ideas. It’s helpful, but it still feels like a one-off conversation, not a real collaboration.
Here’s the reality:
If you only ever ask questions, you’ll only ever get answers. The real value of AI comes when you learn to think with it and design prompts that act like living frameworks, not throwaway lines.
This workshop is your step into that next level.
In just three hours, you’ll master advanced prompting techniques, e.g. how to build meta prompts and super prompts that make AI a reliable thinking partner. You’ll learn to shape your ideas, analyze complex problems, and generate structured outputs that actually move projects forward.
What we mean by “advanced prompting”
Advanced prompting isn’t about fancy language or secret commands. It’s about understanding how AI thinks and using that structure to your advantage.
You’ll learn to:
- Define precise roles and contexts for the AI to adopt
- Guide the AI through multi-step reasoning
- Chain prompts into logical sequences that lead to consistent outcomes
- Reuse those prompt “frameworks” across projects, teams, and workflows
The result: you stop getting random creativity, and start getting consistent intelligence.
Who this workshop is for
This session is built for people who have already explored basic prompting (or joined Workshop 1 Turning AI from tools into value) and now want to level up.
It’s ideal for:
- Analysts, consultants, or project managers who need AI for structured thinking
- Creators, marketers, or product teams who want deeper, more reliable ideation
- Leaders who want to train their teams to work with AI in a smarter, repeatable way
You don’t need to be a “tech” person. You just need curiosity, and a desire to make AI a real extension of your brain.
What you’ll learn
1. The logic of meta and super prompts
You’ll begin by exploring how meta prompts give you reusable structures for thinking.
Meta prompts aren’t tied to a single topic, however they’re frameworks like “analyze this process”, “generate options”, or “evaluate risks”.
Then you’ll build super prompts: complete, multi-step instructions that lead the AI through an entire workflow from understanding the task, to asking clarifying questions, to delivering a structured output.
You’ll learn to combine clarity and flexibility so your prompts adapt to new situations without losing control.
2. Build your own prompt architecture
We’ll walk you through the anatomy of a powerful super prompt:
- A defined role (e.g. “You are a strategy consultant…”)
- A clear goal (e.g. “Your task is to design a communication plan…”)
- A step sequence (e.g. “First analyze audience, then craft tone, then draft message”)
- Built-in quality checks (“If the brief lacks information, ask for clarification”)
- A structured output (“Deliver in a 3-column table with summary notes”)
You’ll design your own architecture and test it live. You’ll see the AI ask smarter questions, deliver higher-quality results, and stay aligned with your intent.
3. Ready-to-use frameworks
To speed up learning, we’ll give you a library of tested super prompts built for real business use.
Examples include:
- Stakeholder Update Generator – turns raw project notes into polished briefings
- Decision Helper – analyses options, pros/cons, and recommends action
- Process Reviewer – evaluates workflows step by step
- Innovation Sprint Assistant – structures ideation sessions with time-boxed phases
- Meeting Synthesizer – extracts themes, decisions, and next steps automatically
You’ll pick anyone you like to bring to the workshop, adapt them to your job, and see the difference between “a reply” and “a real result”.
4. Co-create in real time
The magic moment happens when you start designing together with AI.
In this session, you’ll work on a live business case by developing, testing, and refining your prompts with guided facilitation.
You’ll learn how to:
- Prompt iteratively (how to talk to the AI, not at it)
- Give feedback and corrections that teach the AI your preferences
- Create reusable templates your team can share
This is where prompting becomes a true collaborative skill.
Workshop flow (3 hours)
This workshop balances explanation and live creation. Everything you learn, you test instantly.
- Introduction: Why advanced prompting matters and how top performers use it.
- Core concepts: Meta vs. super prompts, prompt logic and reasoning chains.
- Architecture design: Build your own super prompt step by step.
- Template testing: Apply and adapt pre-built frameworks to your own role.
- Embedding & reuse: Learn how to integrate these prompts into your daily workflow.
- Wrap-up: Reflect, share, and plan your next application.
What you’ll take away
By the end of the session, you’ll have:
- Your own custom super prompts for your job or department
- Access to a prompt-architecture library you can reuse across projects
- A practical understanding of how to think in AI “steps”
- A repeatable process to turn any complex task into a structured conversation
- Confidence that you can get consistent, high-quality output from AI tools
Why participants love this workshop
Because it changes how they think about AI – from tool to co-creation partner. Instead of spending hours rewriting prompts or checking poor answers, they learn to design once, use often.
They stop getting “something roughly right” and start getting results that are structured, reasoned, and reliable.
Participants often tell us:
- “It finally feels like AI understands me.”
- “My prompts used to be random – now they’re reusable assets.”
- “I can actually teach my team to work with AI in the same way.”
Why this training is different
Most advanced prompting trainings focus on techniques in isolation.
We focus on outcomes. We teach not only how to write a super prompt but how to use it productively in your business.
We bridge creativity and structure so you can innovate faster and standardize quality.
Every exercise uses real work examples – from project updates to planning sessions – so everything you build is directly usable the next day.
Connection to the full series
This is the second step in our “From Prompts to Productivity” journey. After mastering the basics in Workshop 1, you now go deeper by learning to design prompts that act like intelligent frameworks.
You can join this session independently, or continue the journey with:
- Workshop 3: Master Prompts & Workflow Automation – where you turn frameworks into automated processes.
- Workshop 4: AI Strategy & Enablement – where you evaluate chances and risks of AI tools
Each level builds capability and confidence, but every session stands on its own.
Practical details
- Duration: 3 hours (online via Zoom / Miro)
- Format: Live, interactive and hands-on
- Group size: Up to 20 participants per session
- Included: Digital workbook, super prompt library, and follow-up assignment to apply what you’ve built
Registration
Take the next step toward productive, value-adding AI. Stop prompting for answers and start prompting for outcomes.
Reserve your place in “Think With the Machine: Advanced Prompting Techniques”
Seats are limited to ensure live feedback and co-creation time.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have joined Workshop 1?
Not necessarily. We’ll briefly recap the basics before diving deeper, so you’ll fit right in.
Is this session technical?
No. Everything is explained in plain language, with examples relevant to your job, not code.
Will I leave with ready-to-use prompts?
Yes – working super prompts and a library of frameworks to adapt.
Can we book this for a team?
Absolutely. Many organizations run it as a live team session to build shared AI competence and a prompt library for internal use.
Final thought
AI isn’t just a helper – it’s a collaborator waiting for instructions. When you learn to design your prompts like frameworks, you start shaping how intelligence works with you.
Think with the machine. Build structured intelligence, not just quick answers.
