You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a High-Potential Programme Design.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I want to design a high-potential (HiPo) identification and development programme. What are the best criteria for identifying HiPos (beyond current performance)? What are the risks of HiPo programmes (e.g., the 'frozen middle', disengagement of non-HiPos)?
- Step 2: Design the programme: selection process, development activities, sponsorship model, and timeline.
- Step 3: Write the communication for employees selected and not selected — both need to be handled carefully.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When building a talent pipeline for senior roles — a structured HiPo programme with explicit selection criteria.

PRO TIP

Never make HiPo status visible to the broader organisation — it creates unhealthy competition and disengages everyone not on the list.
