Organizational DNA prompt

Fill in any highlighted fields, then copy or run it.

Build one Organizational DNA slide from the attached evidence. Identify three interventions to improve execution.

Score decision rights, information, motivators, and structure from 1 to 5. Show current and target scores, evidence, and response ranges. Link symptoms to mechanisms.

Recommend three actions with owner, timing, measure, and dependency. Check that the title names the lowest-scoring blocks and that every large gap has an action or an explanation. Mark conflicts and avoid personality diagnoses or single-factor conclusions.

Why this prompt works

  • Current and target, not one score

    The prompt asks for current and target scores from 1 to 5 for each block, with evidence and response ranges. The gap, not the raw score, drives the recommendation.

  • Symptoms link to mechanisms

    It asks the model to connect symptoms to mechanisms, so 'slow launches' becomes 'decisions wait for information that arrives late'. That chain is something leaders can fix.

  • Actions carry owners

    Each of the three actions needs an owner, timing, a measure and a dependency. That turns a diagnosis into a plan someone can be held to.

  • The title is checked

    The prompt checks that the title names the lowest-scoring blocks and that every large gap has an action or an explanation. It rules out personality diagnoses and single-factor conclusions.

Adapt it to your own deck

  • Attach survey or interview data

    Upload pulse-survey results or interview notes and add "Show the number of respondents behind each score and flag blocks with thin evidence."

  • Scope it to one unit

    The prompt works for a whole company or one function. Name the unit and the execution problem, for example "product launches run two quarters late".

  • Adjust for the room

    For an executive committee, keep the single slide. For the teams involved, ask for a second slide with the evidence behind each score so people can challenge it.

Organizational DNA FAQ

What is an Organizational DNA analysis?

A diagnostic that groups the causes of slow execution into four building blocks: decision rights, information, motivators and structure. It looks at how decisions and information flow through the organization rather than blaming individuals.

Is this an official Bain template?

No. Bain-style describes the slide convention used here: a conclusion in the title, scored evidence and a short list of owned actions. Tosea is not affiliated with Bain & Company.

Can I use this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?

Yes. You will get scores, analysis text and a layout suggestion. In Tosea you attach your survey or interview file with the prompt and get a slide you can edit and export to PowerPoint.
