Course Overview

Technology choices around professional prompt engineering are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. The distance between a working prototype of the wider digital and data-driven work agenda and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. Organisations that document this part of digital and data-driven work properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for professional prompt engineering, not for observers of it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the wider digital and data-driven work agenda hard in practice. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this strand of digital and data-driven work it covers ends in something applicable. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about professional prompt engineering. Most organisations already have a policy on this part of digital and data-driven work; far fewer can show it working. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the digital and data-driven work capability that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Build the internal skills to operate professional prompt engineering without permanent vendor dependency.

02

Prepare the human side of professional prompt engineering: who is retrained, who is redeployed, and when they are told.

03

Translate policy on professional prompt engineering into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.

04

Adapt recognised practice on professional prompt engineering to local constraints without hollowing it out.

05

Design a practical operating method for professional prompt engineering that fits the organisation's size and maturity.

06

Establish monitoring that detects model or service degradation in professional prompt engineering before users report it.

07

Evaluate the bias, fairness and explainability obligations attaching to professional prompt engineering.

Course Modules

01

Professional prompt engineering: people, skills and the change that follows

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making professional prompt engineering secure without making it unusable

  • Define the exit route from the supplier supporting professional prompt engineering.
  • Agree what will be standardised in professional prompt engineering and what will not.
  • Check that professional prompt engineering still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.

Session 2Sizing professional prompt engineering honestly before committing budget

  • Test professional prompt engineering against edge cases drawn from real historical records.
  • Build the competence framework that supports professional prompt engineering.
  • Remove steps in professional prompt engineering that add effort without adding assurance.

02

Professional prompt engineering: governance, ethics and explainability

2 sessions · 8 points

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of professional prompt engineering before proposing changes.
  • Agree who is on call for professional prompt engineering outside working hours.
  • Estimate compute and licensing cost for professional prompt engineering at expected and at peak load.
  • Verify that professional prompt engineering still performs when input volume doubles unexpectedly.

Session 2The data question everyone skips at the start of professional prompt engineering

  • Identify single points of dependency in professional prompt engineering and reduce them.
  • Define acceptance criteria for professional prompt engineering in advance.
  • Plan how professional prompt engineering is versioned and how a bad release is rolled back.

03

Professional prompt engineering: business case, scope and the data it depends on

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Proving professional prompt engineering paid for itself

  • Measure the current quality of the data feeding professional prompt engineering before assuming it is usable.
  • Reduce the variation in how professional prompt engineering is carried out between teams.
  • Identify every system professional prompt engineering must read from or write to.
  • Design the pilot for professional prompt engineering so that a negative result is still useful.

Session 2Who answers for professional prompt engineering, and to whom

  • Compare the cost of professional prompt engineering with the cost of its absence.
  • Prepare the summary of professional prompt engineering that senior management will read.
  • Identify the skills the team lacks to operate professional prompt engineering independently.
  • List the data sources professional prompt engineering consumes and confirm each has a named owner.
04

Professional prompt engineering: from pilot to production

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The pilot that actually settles the argument about professional prompt engineering

  • Build the internal briefing that explains professional prompt engineering to those affected.
  • Define the service level professional prompt engineering must meet and what happens when it is missed.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates professional prompt engineering is under control.
  • Build the user briefing that explains what professional prompt engineering does and does not decide.

Session 2Keeping professional prompt engineering alive after the initial push

  • Review whether professional prompt engineering is aligned with the objectives of the transformation programme.
  • Identify where judgement in professional prompt engineering is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Record the reasoning behind each architectural choice in professional prompt engineering.
  • Confirm that reporting on professional prompt engineering reaches the people who can act.
