Prompts from this episode

Prior to Discussing Rocket Nine

Created a profile on myself using my LinkedIn profile, StrengthsFinder profile and the "Find Your Why" work.

Further Info

My personal why statement: "To bring energy and insight that help people and communities connect and grow, so that they discover new possibilities and flourish together."

Prior to creating the Post-Agile "Agile+" strategy

Worked with ChatGPT to create a profile of Rocket Nine Solutions based on their website, LinkedIn posts and comments, and publicly available web search results. ChatGPT asked several questions, and together we developed a Post-Agile Agile+ strategy and explored the potential market.

Further Info

Result: ChatGPT returned a solid profile confirming very few consulting companies were talking about Agile+. It then created a complete program offering with pricing. Remember this is only an example and in no way represents current Rocket Nine offering bundles.

Rocket Nine Market Research

Based on your knowledge of consulting companies anywhere in the world, do any of them promote a strategic view similar to Post-Agile +

Created Well Formatted Strategic Paper

I have a one off document request. Here is the proposed Rocket Nine strategic paper I wrote with the help of ChatGPT on embracing an Agile+ strategy (strategic posture) in a largely Post-Agile training, consulting and coaching world. This led to Rocket Nine's current pursuit of Agile+ AI efforts. This document is for Rocket Nine team members and anyone including senior to executive management interested in a detailed look at Rocket Nine's strategic posture. This should be a PDF document using the current Rocket Nine color palette.
