How to Turn a Business Question Into a Strategy Deck With ChatGPT Work | Tutorial

By OpenAI

Categories: AI, Product

Summary

Strategy work that once took days can now be completed in hours by connecting ChatGPT to data sources, templates, and tools—enabling business teams to move from raw questions to presentation-ready recommendations without manual compilation.

Key Takeaways

  1. Start with a single, focused business question rather than vague analysis—ChatGPT works backward from a clear objective to determine what data and research is actually needed.
  2. Connect multiple data sources through plugins (market research, account data, customer trends, past reports) so ChatGPT can synthesize across tools instead of requiring manual data gathering.
  3. Request a storyline and plan before full deck generation—this checkpoint lets you validate narrative structure and recommendations before ChatGPT produces the final output.
  4. Use company templates as a constraint to ensure ChatGPT output matches your brand standards and communication style from the start, reducing revision cycles.
  5. Always review numbers and sources before approval—ChatGPT synthesizes data but human verification of facts and recommendations remains essential for business-critical decisions.
