## Prompt

```text
Help me build our annual learning and development plan.

**Business priorities for the year:** [STRATEGY, GOALS, MAJOR CHANGES - e.g. new markets, system rollouts, restructures]
**Training requests received:** [LIST WITH REQUESTER]
**Mandatory and compliance training:** [LIST]
**Results of skills or needs analysis, if any:** [SUMMARY]
**L&D team capacity:** [PEOPLE, SKILLS, VENDORS]
**Budget:** [AMOUNT or "to be proposed"]
**What worked and did not last year:** [DETAILS]

Steps:
1. Map each request to a business priority. Flag requests with no clear link.
2. Prioritize using: business impact, number of people affected, urgency, risk of not doing it, and effort. Show your scoring.
3. Group initiatives into: must-do (compliance, critical), strategic bets, and maintenance.
4. Choose delivery mix (digital, live, on-the-job, coaching, curated content) per initiative to fit budget and capacity.
5. Sequence across quarters, avoiding peak business periods.

Return:
1. A one-page summary for leadership.
2. A plan table: Initiative | Business priority | Audience | Approach | Quarter | Owner | Est. cost | Success measure.
3. What we will say no to or defer, and how to communicate it.
4. Capacity check: where we are overcommitted.
5. Risks and dependencies.

Use only figures I provide. Mark estimates and missing data [ADD].
