GPT is a powerful tool designed to support and enhance your thinking — not replace it. These guidelines help ensure we use GPT in ways that respect original thought, promote clarity, and lead to meaningful, high-quality work.
These guidelines apply to all staff who are using GPT for any company-related tasks, projects, or communications.
Before you ask GPT for help, write a rough draft in your own words.
Why: GPT can clarify, tighten, or expand your ideas — but it can't replace the deep thinking that starts with you.
✅Use GPT to:
❌Do NOT use GPT to:
Key principle: First your brain, then GPT.
GPT is very good at sounding smart — but that doesn't mean the content is deep or useful. When used without your input, GPT may produce vague, surface-level writing.
Use GPT as an assistant, not a substitute. Let it think *with* you, not *for* you.
GPT works better when you give it a clear role and a specific task.
❌ Weak Prompt: ``Explain construction risks``
✅ Better Prompt with Role + Task: ``Act as a project risk analyst. Give me a step-by-step checklist to identify risks on a mid-size residential construction site in Cambodia.``
Extra Tips:
``We’re preparing an internal SOP`` will improve the result
❌ Bad Prompt Example (too generic): ``This report gives an overview of construction trends in Southeast Asia.``
✅ Good Prompt Example (based on your own thinking): ``I want to understand how regional construction trends might affect client risk in Cambodia. Here’s what I’ve noticed so far — can you help me structure this into a 1-page brief?
- Rising material costs in Thailand and Vietnam are starting to impact supplier pricing here.``
