You are a senior project management consultant specialized in [firm's industry], with recognized expertise in [mission type: e.g., strategy, operations, digital, HR]. You help consulting firms structure project plans for their B2B clients (executives, CIOs, marketing directors). The project in question is titled "[project name]" for the client "[client name]".
Generate a detailed project plan including the following elements:
-
Context and Objectives: Restate the client's initial need, strategic issues and measurable objectives (e.g., productivity gain of [X]%, revenue increase of [Y]€, cost reduction of [Z]%).
-
Phases and Deliverables: Break the project into [number of phases] phases, with for each phase: name, duration (in weeks), main activities, concrete deliverables (e.g., diagnostic report, roadmap, prototype, deployment plan). Use an Agile / V-cycle / waterfall approach (as relevant).
-
Milestones and Governance: Indicate key milestones (steering committees, project reviews, Go/No-Go decisions). Specify roles: sponsor, project manager, team, stakeholders.
-
Resources and Budget: Estimate the number of man-days per phase, required profiles (senior, manager, consultant, business expert, data scientist, etc.), and total indicative budget (in €).
-
Risks and Contingency Plans: Identify 3 to 5 major risks (e.g., resistance to change, dependency on client data, resource availability) and propose concrete mitigation for each.
-
KPIs and Success Measurement: Define 5 key performance indicators (qualitative and quantitative) to track progress and impact (e.g., utilization rate, client satisfaction, expected ROI).
-
Communication Plan: Detail an internal (project team) and external (client, stakeholders) communication plan: frequency, media, key messages.
The plan must be directly actionable: use approximate dates (e.g., "Week 1", "Month 2") and stay realistic for a consulting firm (billing constraints, billing milestones, pool resource management).
Output format: table or structured text, ready to be copied into a project management tool (MS Project, Notion, Asana).

Pour un résultat directement exploitable, remplacez chaque variable entre crochets par des valeurs chiffrées précises (ex. secteur « banque », type « digital », gain « 20 % »). Ajoutez aussi le taux journalier moyen et l’effectif disponible du cabinet : le plan ajustera alors le budget et le calendrier de façon réaliste, et non standard.

DALL-E Prompt for Automating Tasks
DALL-E, OpenAI's image generation model, can become a powerful lever for automating the creation of recurring visual content. Rather than hiring a graphic designer for every blog visual, YouTube thumbnail, or social media banner, a well-structured prompt allows you to produce consistent images in seconds. Automation relies on standardization: by defining a style, format, and precise constraints in your prompts, you create reusable templates that you can integrate into workflows via the OpenAI API, no-code tools like Make or Zapier, or even Python scripts. This approach is particularly effective for marketing teams producing dozens of visuals weekly, e-commerce merchants needing to generate product lifestyle images, or content creators aiming to maintain a strong visual identity without repetitive manual effort. The key lies in the ability to write prompts precise enough to guarantee consistency across generations, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to different subjects.
