Business Systems Planning prompt for PowerPoint
A PwC-style prompt for one information systems roadmap slide based on Business Systems Planning. It takes your process inventory, application map and data domains and shows core processes, a process-to-data matrix and three implementation waves, with assumptions labeled and no invented dependencies.
Business Systems Planning prompt
Fill in any highlighted fields, then copy or run it.
Create one 16:9 information systems roadmap slide from the supplied process inventory, application map, data domains, risks, and timing. Show core processes, a process-to-data matrix, and three implementation waves. Write an action title, flag missing evidence, label assumptions, and never invent dependencies. Use burgundy, orange, amber, charcoal, and white.
Why this prompt works
It starts from processes
The slide shows core processes first, then data, then implementation waves. That is the logic of BSP: systems follow business needs, not the other way round.
Data needs are mapped
A process-to-data matrix shows which data domains each process relies on, which is how shared master data and sequencing priorities become visible.
No invented dependencies
The model must flag missing evidence, label assumptions and "never invent dependencies". Roadmap dependencies are where made-up detail does the most damage.
Waves, not a wish list
Three implementation waves force a sequence. With the supplied risks and timing as inputs, each wave has a reason to come in that order.
Adapt it to your own deck
Supply the inputs it expects
The prompt expects a process inventory, application map, data domains, risks and timing. Attach them, or add "List any of these inputs that are missing before drawing the slide."
Use it beyond ERP
The example is an ERP roadmap, but the prompt fits a CRM or data platform program too. Name it: "This roadmap is for the customer data platform, not ERP."
Match your brand palette
The prompt sets burgundy, orange, amber, charcoal and white. Replace those words with your brand colors, or choose your template in Tosea and remove the color sentence.
Business Systems Planning FAQ
What is Business Systems Planning?
An information systems planning method that IBM introduced in the 1970s. It starts from business processes and the data they create and use, often mapped in a process-to-data matrix, and derives the systems architecture and implementation sequence from that.
Is this an official PwC template?
No. BSP is a public method, and "PwC-style" refers to the warm burgundy and amber layout. Tosea is not affiliated with PwC or IBM.
Can ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini build this roadmap slide?
They can draft the matrix and wave plan as text or a table. Tosea uses the prompt with your attached inventories to produce an editable roadmap slide that exports to PowerPoint.
PwC-style describes a common consulting framework. Tosea is not affiliated with PwC. Figures on the example slides are illustrative.
