The Prompt Architect: Design Your Own AI Superpowers for Max Productivity

Our Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup hour in January 2026 is scheduled for Thursday, January 22nd, 2026.

Time: 12:00pm PT/2:00pm CT/3:00pm ET
Topic: "The Prompt Architect: Design Your Own AI Superpowers for Max Productivity"
Our Guest Speaker: Ian Palonis

An introduction to the meetup:
The rapid rise of LLMs has created a productivity gap: many are concerned about falling behind, while power-users are achieving massive strategic gains. This 60-minute session moves past vague theory to deliver the high-leverage mental models, practical techniques, and a master tool needed to quickly catch up on the AI adoption curve. We will demystify the mechanics of LLMs (Token Dynamics, Context Dilution) and teach you the Augmentation Mindset (Human in the Loop). The session culminates in a live demonstration of the "Prompt Architect"—a powerful meta-prompt that instantly designs and executes sophisticated prompts for complex real-world strategic tasks.

Takeaways:

1. Acquire the Augmentation Mindset and the ethical framework (Human in the Loop) needed to elevate your role to a strategic AI architect.
2. Master high-leverage techniques like the Persona Superpower, the Context Port workflow, and the Transcription Superpower to achieve precision and control over your outputs.
   3. Understand the fundamental mechanics (Token Dynamics) and advanced limitations (Sycophancy, Bias) to anticipate and correct AI failures.
   4. Walk away with The Prompt Architect metaprompt—a tool that automates complex prompt engineering, allowing you to focus on strategy instead of syntax.
