This strategy-first playbook helps your team build a winning XR training program, one step at a time.
A step-by-step framework to help your team go from pilot confusion to scaled success.
Based on real-world rollouts across enterprise teams, this guide helps you identify your current stage and shows what XR ready looks like at every step.
What You'll Explore Inside
Most teams rush into XR by choosing hardware or browsing content libraries. But the organizations that succeed start by asking a different question: What outcome are we trying to improve, and why aren’t we getting there today?
Most teams rush into XR by choosing hardware or browsing content libraries. But the organizations that succeed start by asking a different question: What outcome are we trying to improve, and why aren’t we getting there today?In this section, you'll see how teams like Koch and Mars reframed workforce challenges such as high turnover and slow onboarding long before choosing a device. The result? A stronger business case, better alignment, and a clearer path forward.
Once you’ve confirmed XR is a fit, the next challenge is turning that idea into a plan that can succeed and scale. This part of the guide walks through how to align key stakeholders across L&D, IT, and operations, choose the right tools and content strategy, and define success in measurable terms.
You’ll learn how Mars Wrigley built cross-functional alignment from day one and how that clarity translated into a $19M business impact in just seven months.
A successful pilot is only the beginning. The final chapters of the guide show you how to turn isolated wins into repeatable systems and eventually make XR a core part of your workforce development strategy.
See how Pfizer established centralized device management and VR trainer support across multiple facilities, and how MDA built global training consistency for high-stakes simulation work.

Trusted By Leaders in Manufacturing
After supporting XR training rollouts at some of the world’s largest manufacturing companies, we know what works and what goes off the rails.
“ArborXR provides so much detail—when a headset was last used, what simulations are on it—everything we need to keep our training program running smoothly.”

Training Manager | Mars Wrigley
"One of the more dramatic examples that we have of the impact that VR can have in a business is manufacturing training, or reduction of time to proficiency by 50 to 70%. When you’re taking six months to train somebody and then you can turn that into several weeks, that’s a tangible operational difference for businesses.”
