In this case study, a team embarks on developing an AI prompting course but quickly becomes bogged down by prolonged discussions, unclear objectives, and a lack of focus on the audience. The observations that follow the study highlight critical issues and provide actionable suggestions to ensure the program’s success.

This is in response to a prompt to develop a summer story about work and the word, brainstorm.

A digital office water cooler represents a virtual space where people chat, share files, and brainstorm without leaving their desks. The image shows a sleek, futuristic water cooler with digital screens displaying chat bubbles, shared files, and brainstorming ideas, all in a modern office setting. Surrounding the cooler are floating icons of messages, files, and lightbulbs, symbolizing ideas, with a background of desks and computers in a bright, collaborative workspace. AI-generated image.
The author created this AI-generated image with the prompt: a digital office water cooler where you can chat, share files, and brainstorm without leaving your desk.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, allowing it to learn and respond to challenges. The team needs to embrace a similar adaptive approach to the one described in the case study below.

Just as neuroplasticity enables growth and learning, the team must adjust their strategy, focus on clear objectives, and understand their audience to create an effective AI training program.

By adapting their methods and learning from their discussions, they can transform their scattered efforts into a cohesive, strategic plan.

This “neuroplastic” mindset will help them overcome obstacles and ensure the project’s success.
