SDG Group: "The Evolution of Prompt Engineering to Context Design in 2026"

What it is

Published March 11, 2026. Strategic business-oriented analysis of how AI interaction is shifting from static prompts to dynamic "context design", building living AI ecosystems with memory, state, and adaptive behaviour. Covers agentic workflow patterns, why context > individual prompts, and how operators are building AI systems that learn from prior interactions. Written for business leaders, not developers.

Why we picked it

Bridges Module 2 and Module 5 perfectly. Students who've mastered prompting need to understand why the next level isn't "better prompts", it's context architecture. This article explains the conceptual shift clearly without requiring technical knowledge. Strong framing for the AutomateFirst narrative of progression from beginner to operator.

How you might use it

Prompting is a skill you build through practice, not one you arrive with. The Prompt Like a Founder module is about getting useful results from AI on the first or second try. Open this alongside a real task you need to finish today and try the approach once.
