What It Does

You don't have time to read through all 12 essays in the book Training is Broken. You want to read but not yet sure if it's worth your time. Or, you've just read the book. You're intrigued about possibilities. You see the problems clearly.

But now what?

  • How do you prioritize what would be most useful to read?
  • How do you apply the insights to your specific situation?
  • How do you communicate the ideas in this book to your team and stakeholders?
  • What should you actually do differently on Monday morning?

Generic advice won't work. Your context is unique. Your challenges are specific.

Why It Exists

Reading a book gives you insight. Applying that insight in your specific organizational context—with its unique politics, constraints, and opportunities—requires a different kind of support.

The Book Navigator bridges that gap. It knows the book's arguments, evidence, and frameworks as deeply as you will—and helps you translate them into actionable strategies for your role and situation.

How It Works:
Over 125+ Expert AI Prompts Across 6 Reader Types

Rather than generic AI responses, the Navigator offers curated and professionally written prompts organized by reader type and use case:

Six Reader Types:
  • CEO / Management / Board Member
  • CHRO / Head of HR
  • CLO / Head of Learning
  • L&D Team Member
  • Learning/Training Practitioner
  • Curious Reader
What Makes It Different
  • Zero generic advice: Every response is grounded in specific arguments and frameworks from the book
  • Role-specific guidance: Prompts designed for your professional context and political reality
  • Strategic depth: Not a chatbot—a thinking partner that understands organizational complexity
  • Implementation focus: Designed to move you from insight to action
Four Modes of Engagement:
UNDERSTAND

Synthesize concepts, clarify arguments, translate into executive language

Example (CEO): "Summarize this book's core argument in terms that will resonate with a board focused on ROI and risk."
ASSESS

Diagnose your current situation, identify blind spots, surface hidden assumptions

Example (CHRO): "What cultural assumptions might our current training approach be reinforcing that could limit organizational agility?"
APPLY

Design interventions, adapt frameworks, create implementation strategies

Example (CLO): "How can I use the SPARK framework to redesign our leadership development program while working within existing budget constraints?"
COMMUNICATE

Navigate stakeholders, build coalitions, address resistance, craft messaging

Example (L&D Team Member): "My team is skeptical about 'another learning initiative.' How do I position this as fundamentally different?"
