50 executive prompts

How to use

Each prompt is designed to be pasted as-is into the Chat / Cowork tab of Claude Desktop, or into Claude Code Desktop. Tool prerequisites (PDF drop, MCP Web fetch, etc.) are called out at the top of each category. Replace variables like XXX / YYY / ZZZ with your own company-specific information before sending.

The "time" column is how long it takes from sending the prompt to getting a usable output. The more complex prompts assume multi-turn dialogue. Start small, and when you find one that works, accumulate it in your personal ~/CLAUDE.md or a team-shared snippet library.

1. Contract review (10)

Use for "first-pass screening" an executive can run before asking legal. Drag the contract PDF into Claude Code Desktop or the Chat tab of Claude Desktop, then run a prompt below. For sensitive contracts, prefer Enterprise plan via Bedrock.

The core principle: don't delegate legal judgment to Claude. Use it only for surfacing issues, comparing, and listing — leave the final call to the human + legal team.

#	Prompt	Time
1	Read this contract. Pick five clauses that are unfavorable to MIXI. Add a one-line "why unfavorable" to each.	2 min
2	Extract the governing law, venue, and arbitration clauses. Compare against standard Japanese-company contracts. Output as a table of differences.	3 min
3	Check the NDA's duration, definition of confidential information, and survival clause. Flag any problems.	2 min
4	In this service-provision contract, identify clauses that could create "disguised employment" risk (direction and control).	3 min
5	Extract the SaaS vendor contract's SLA, termination, and data-return clauses. Judge whether each is acceptable for MIXI.	4 min
6	Extract the non-compete scope (geography, duration, business scope). Compare against the enforceable range under Japanese law.	3 min
7	Check the damages cap and indirect-damages carve-outs. Compare against standard benchmarks.	2 min
8	Identify the scope of IP license MIXI grants in this contract. Confirm it hasn't slipped into an assignment.	3 min
9	Extract the auto-renewal clause and termination notice deadline. List the dates that need to go on the calendar.	1 min
10	Read every clause and classify each as GREEN / YELLOW / RED for "should MIXI legal review this."	5 min

2. Strategy (10)

For mid-term plan drafts, new-business screening, M&A direction-setting — anything in the "create thinking material" bucket. Use Claude Desktop's Chat tab or Claude Code Desktop; attach external source material (earnings PDFs, industry reports, competitor IR decks) as needed.

Strategy frameworks (PEST, Porter's 5 Forces, scenario planning) are squarely in Claude's wheelhouse. Let it write the first draft as a scaffold; the executive adds the edge.

#	Prompt	Time
1	I'm drafting MIXI's next three-year mid-term plan. Start by laying out the PEST analysis for the industry.	10 min
2	Read the latest filings of three competitors (XXX, YYY, ZZZ) and build a KPI comparison table against MIXI.	15 min
3	Assume we're launching new business X. Run a Porter's 5 Forces analysis.	10 min
4	Build three scenarios (optimistic / base / pessimistic) for "entertainment in the AI era" through 2030.	15 min
5	Across all MIXI segments, extract 2024 vs 2025 growth and profit margins. Recommend which businesses to focus on next.	10 min
6	We're considering US expansion. Compare three entry modes (JV / acquisition / go-alone) by investment, time, and risk.	15 min
7	Starting from MIXI's core strength (communication × entertainment), propose three adjacent-market expansion scenarios.	10 min
8	From competitor A's publicly disclosed roadmap, infer what they'll do in the next 12 months.	10 min
9	Generate five hypotheses for "MIXI's next flagship business." Add a one-line "why it would land" to each.	5 min
10	Draft an 800-character board-meeting memo titled "MIXI's three-pillar business portfolio in the AI era."	10 min

3. IR / earnings prep (10)

Last-minute earnings-call prep, pre-simulating analyst meetings, visualizing mid-plan progress. Drop your own and competitors' IR PDFs into Claude Cowork or Claude Desktop.

If a prompt will contain non-public material (pre-disclosure), use the Enterprise plan (ZDR) or Claude Code CLI via Bedrock Tokyo. Assume normal plans are being used for training.

#	Prompt	Time
1	Read the full Q&A from last period's earnings call. Predict the top 10 questions that will come this period.	10 min
2	Across three years of earnings materials, extract the management metrics MIXI has used. Show the progression over time.	15 min

10	Mid-plan progress dashboard (target vs actual) as a Markdown table.	10 min

4. HR decisions & evaluations (10)

Management-review reflection, OKR review, D&I target setting — the "verbalize qualitative judgment" category. Assumes Claude Desktop's Chat tab. Rule: never paste sensitive info (real names, real numbers). Anonymize or use synthetic placeholders.

Don't delegate HR decisions to Claude. Use it for "building frameworks", "generating question lists", "polishing prose". The final call stays human.

#	Prompt	Time
1	Anonymized scenario: three executive remarks from this evaluation interview. Rewrite each with better-calibrated feedback delivery.	5 min
2	Here are 10 managers and their performance (metric XXX). Classify each into promote / demote / hold-as-high-performer.	10 min
3	Design a 30/60/90-day onboarding plan for a new executive officer.	10 min

For continuous industry-trend monitoring, competitor-motion mapping, startup-business-model reverse-engineering. Use Claude Desktop + MCP (Web fetch / browser automation) or Claude Code Desktop for real-time information.

Limit to public-information-based research (paid reports have rights issues). With MCP to Google Drive / Notion, this pairs well with automated cross-referencing against past internal research.

#	Prompt	Time
1	Five key trends in Japan's gaming industry in 2026. One-line MIXI implication each.	15 min
2	Aggregate 6 months of press releases from three competitors. Build a motion map.	20 min
