First provide ChatGPT context to your problem with the following template.

Prompt: Act as the staff to [XYZ Technologies]. Your job is to synthesize the following context to assist in performing a 1-2-4-whole group. Context is in {}. If you understand your task, your only response is "…". {Real-world problem: XYZ Technologies is a hardware manufacturer that produces advanced processors used in high-performance computing systems.

How the 1-2-4-whole group exercise could help: The 1-2-4-whole group exercise is designed to foster creativity and generate new ideas through collaboration.

For example, engineers could collaborate with quality control experts to identify new testing methodologies, while production staff could offer insights into process improvements that could reduce defects. The exercise could also help break down silos between departments and encourage cross-functional collaboration, which could lead to more effective problem-solving in the long term.}

Next, Use a reference to paste each 1-2-4-whole group step into the ChatGPT prompt. I'm copying this from the kindle book AI-Powered Strategic Thinker, which has the steps already integrated with ChatGPT. (Link to Kindle book above)
