## Prompt

```text
Help me build next year's people plan for the business unit I support as an HR business partner.

**Business unit:** [WHAT it does, size, locations]
**Business goals for next year:** [e.g. launch in a new market, improve margin, scale a team]
**Current people situation:** [headcount, key gaps, attrition hot spots, engagement themes, leadership bench, open ER issues]
**Budget and HR capacity:** [RESOURCES available]
**Company-wide HR priorities I must support:** [e.g. new performance process, pay transparency]

Work through:
1. **Implications** - for each business goal, what it means for people: capability, capacity, structure, culture, leadership.
2. **Gap assessment** - where we are vs. where we need to be, based only on what I've shared.
3. **Prioritized initiatives** - no more than 5-7. For each: problem it solves, actions, owner, timing, cost estimate [ADD], and success measure.
4. **What we will NOT do** this year and why.
5. **Quarterly roadmap** in a table.
6. **Risks and dependencies.**
7. **One-page summary** I can walk the leader through in 15 minutes.

Push back if a goal has no clear people implication, and flag where I'm missing data to make a good call.
