Pivot memo
Writes a memo explaining a strategic pivot — what changes, why, what stays, what to expect.
For the all-hands or the investor email when the answer is "we're changing direction".
The prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own old direction + new direction + reasoning underneath it.
Write a pivot memo. Sections: **Headline + 1-sentence what changes** **Why now** (3-5 bullets — what we learned) **What changes** (product, ICP, GTM) **What stays** (team, values, brand) **Customer impact** (what existing customers experience) **Team impact** (no surprises about roles) **Risks + mitigations** **90-day plan** **Q&A** (3-5 questions you expect) Rules: - Be honest about what didn't work. - No corporate spin.
