The VISION™ AI Prompt Framework: A Strategic Approach to Prompting at Scale

As AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot embed deeper into daily operations, a quiet shift is underway. Prompting is no longer just a curious skill for early adopters—it’s becoming a core business capability.

At Envisago, we see this clearly: the way teams prompt AI is shaping how work gets done. Yet too often, this interaction is left to chance. That’s why we created the VISION™ Prompting Framework—a structured, human-centred approach to unlocking reliable, repeatable AI results.

Why Prompting Needs to Be a Strategic Skill

AI’s value is directly shaped by how we engage it. When prompts are vague or inconsistent, the outputs follow suit. Leaders tell us: “It just doesn’t give me what I need.” But this is rarely a tech failure—it’s a prompting gap.

To move from experimentation to operational confidence, teams need more than good instincts. They need design.

That’s where strategic AI prompting comes in.

Introducing the VISION™ AI Prompt Framework

The VISION™ Framework gives structure to something that often feels intangible: how to guide AI effectively. It’s especially valuable for teams using generative tools across operations, customer experience, transformation, and strategy.

Here’s how it works:

V – Voice Who should the AI act as? A CX strategist? A programme lead? An executive advisor? Set the tone and role so the output speaks from the right perspective.

I – Instruction What exactly do you want it to do? Be direct. Be specific. AI performs best when given clear intent.

S – Steps Guide how you want the thinking to unfold. Do you want a list? A comparison? A short narrative? Shape the structure of the response to fit your task.

I – Input What context or data does the AI need? Supply what matters—whether it’s business context, past decisions, or relevant materials. This is the most underused move in prompting.

O – Output Define what a good result looks like. A short email? A two-paragraph summary? A table with comparisons? Help the AI land in the format you need.

N – Nuance This is where you shape sophistication. Add tone preferences, constraints, or known organisational sensitivities. It’s where prompting becomes craft.

Together, these six moves help turn ad hoc requests into repeatable AI workflows—ones you can trust, teach, and scale.

From One-Offs to Operational Integration

When teams apply the VISION™ framework, a few key shifts happen:

Prompting becomes faster, clearer, and more repeatable.
Outputs improve in quality—and relevance.
AI becomes an embedded part of work, not a side experiment.

Instead of asking: “Why didn’t it get it right?”, teams begin to ask: “How can we shape this together?”

That’s the move from automation to augmentation. And it’s where strategic value lives.

The Human at the Centre

We believe AI should support judgement, not replace it. That’s why the VISION™ Framework is not about removing thinking—it’s about improving the way we frame it.

Prompting, when done well, becomes a leadership move. A way to direct intelligence—both human and machine—toward meaningful outcomes.

With VISION™, your team doesn’t just use AI. They lead it.
