AI+ for Feedback and Performance
Give Feedback That Changes Behaviour and Drives Results
Feedback that actually changes behaviour.
You give feedback, but you know it's not specific enough to drive real change. This book gives you SHARP — a five-step AI-assisted framework that turns vague impressions into feedback people can act on — plus 25 prompt templates for informal check-ins, annual reviews, 360 inputs, and development plans. You'll spend less time agonising over how to say something and more time watching it land. Written by an AI engineering firm that builds people-facing AI systems for a living.
- 25 ready-made, market-tested prompts: SHARP feedback preparation, informal check-ins, annual reviews, 360 inputs, development plans, upward and peer feedback
- The SHARP Feedback Framework — Situation, How, Affect, Request, Plan — five-step complete feedback cycle
- A feedback preparation workflow that turns hours of agonising into focused 20-minute structured drafts
- A development plan discipline that turns vague growth talk into a concrete, time-bound plan
- A 30-day plan for managers, team leaders, HR business partners, and senior individual contributors who give peer and upward feedback
A manager, team leader, or HR professional who gives feedback regularly — from quick informal check-ins to annual performance reviews — and knows they could do it better. They find feedback preparation time-consuming, worry about the message landing right (too soft, too blunt, too vague), and often avoid giving it until circumstances force their hand. They're not bad at feedback; they're inconsistent at it.
Also for:L&D professionals and HR business partners who design or facilitate feedback and performance programmes — they need to understand how AI is changing this domain to integrate it into management development curricula. Individual contributors who seek peer feedback, write 360 inputs, or want to give upward feedback more confidently.
- Apply the SHARP Feedback Framework to prepare specific, behaviour-focused feedback using AI as a structured thinking partner
- Use AI to draft and refine written feedback — performance reviews, 360 inputs, development plans — using structured prompting
- Prepare for formal performance conversations including annual reviews, mid-year check-ins, and performance improvement discussions
- Design an ongoing feedback practice — timely, frequent, development-focused — using AI to sustain it without adding significant time
- Identify the boundary between AI-assisted preparation and the human relationship skills required in the live feedback moment
