EA digital literacy meets AI Readiness

CORPORATE AMERICA BEHIND THE WALLS OF EA NS GHTS I I prompt engineering Modernized ways of working are here, and the opportunity to outperform expectations is rising. The AI tools like ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude are being integrated into daily work, and from this innovation, one crucial skill is emerging at the forefront—prompt engineering. While many industries are figuring out how to weave AI into their infrastructure, EAs are uniquely positioned to lead this shift when the technology becomes available to them. Why? Because prompt engineering is not just about writing commands for AI—it’s about understanding context, structuring information effectively, and anticipating needs. And if there’s one profession that has mastered these skills long before AI entered the conversation, it’s EAs. Imagine AI as the ultimate digital companion—capable of drafting emails, summarizing meetings, and even strategizing. Now, imagine an EA who knows exactly how to instruct AI to deliver optimal results. This is where the EA Prompt Engineer [EAPE] role comes into play—a new skillset that enhances efficiency and amplifies expertise.

why prompt engineering matters

At its core, prompt engineering is about articulating precise, structured, and strategic prompts to get the most effective responses from large language models. EAs already articulate requests, anticipate outcomes, and distill complexity into clarity—all fundamental skills in prompt engineering. And it begins with one question: “What do I want this language model to help me accomplish?” From there, the EA breaks the request into clear inputs. A good prompt gives the model:

the right context a clear format direction on tone, length, and audience boundaries or exclusions to avoid generic results

AI, regardless of model being used, is only as smart as the person prompting it. Gaining a clear understanding of what prompt engineering is, allows EAs to:

translate unstructured requests into clear, executable actions automate recurring processes to save time and reduce error build visuals, drafts, workflows, and summaries in seconds—not hours

In the this chapter, we introduce you to ChatGPT with guidance on how to organize and sequence prompts for smarter collaboration. The goal is to amplify what you already do—because AI is a partnership. One that’s always ready, built to respond to instruction, and designed to reflect human brilliance in a complex world.
