Why VR Fails
Most VR programs fail before they even start. VR doesn’t fail because the tech is bad.
It fails because no one planned the system.
1. No One Owns the Implementation
Immersive tech touches too many domains — IT, faculty, workforce, facilities, procurement. When no one owns the process end-to-end, everything breaks. We help you assign ownership, define roles, and turn ambition into execution.
“VR rollouts often lack clear ownership. As a result, project goals and timelines remain vague.”
— U.S. Chamber Foundation, 2023
2. Training is an Afterthought
You can’t scale adoption if no one knows how to use the tools. Most VR vendors stop at onboarding. CM&D creates modular training programs that equip champions, empower staff, and preserve momentum.
“Successful implementation depends on upskilling those delivering the program — yet many programs offer no formal training for educators.”
3. There’s No System for Feedback or Metrics
If you can’t show progress, funding dries up. If you can’t collect feedback, adoption stalls. We design systems to collect, analyze, and report the right metrics — making your program defensible and fundable.
“Programs fail when outcomes can’t be measured or communicated to leadership.”
4. Vendors Sell Tools — Not Systems
Hardware gets shipped. Licenses get purchased. But no one plans for system integration, compatibility, or real-world constraints. We act as your architects — designing a cohesive system across devices, vendors, and teams.
“Many VR rollouts include dozens of vendors with little interoperability or strategy.”
5. Enthusiasm Without Infrastructure
The biggest risk isn’t failure — it’s inertia. When the early adopters lose steam and leadership moves on, good ideas vanish. We help you design infrastructure that lasts — clear governance, renewal cycles, and continuity plans.
“Early champions burn out when the institution can’t sustain the program.”
