The Full Session — On Demand
If you only have time for one segment, jump to the Brian Stice / Enel interview at the 27-minute mark — it's the part most attendees flagged as the most useful.
Inside the Session
60 Minutes. No Fluff. Just the Framework.
The same approach we've used to help Avangrid, Enel, and Toyota get VR training funded, deployed, and scaled.
Build the ROI Model
Quantify the cost of doing nothing, build conservative and realistic scenarios, and present a payback timeline that gets CFOs to lean in instead of push back.
Handle the Objections
Pre-built responses to "it's too expensive," "IT won't approve it," "our people won't use it," and "how do we know it actually works?"
Deploy with Confidence
Standalone hardware, MDM fleet management, enterprise security, and what IT teams need to hear before signing off on a rollout.

Questions
Frequently Asked
Is this a sales pitch or will I walk away with something I can actually use? +
It's the same 9-step approval framework we've used with Avangrid, Enel, and Toyota. You'll leave with a reusable business case template, ROI calculator access, and objection-response scripts you can drop straight into your next internal proposal. No demos. No bait-and-switch.
What makes this different from other VR webinars? +
You're hearing from both sides of the table. Brian Stice leads training and knowledge management at Enel — a global energy organization that has actually deployed VR at scale. He'll walk through how he built internal buy-in, measured outcomes, and navigated the conversations with finance, IT, and operations that most VR projects never survive.
We haven't even started evaluating VR yet. Is this still relevant? +
That's the right time to attend. Most VR proposals stall because the business case wasn't built before the conversation started. You'll learn how to frame the problem, quantify the cost of inaction, and present a pilot-first approach that doesn't require a massive upfront commitment.
My leadership team says VR is too expensive. Will this help me respond? +
Yes — "too expensive" is one of the four objections we break down live. You'll learn how to reframe VR from a line-item cost into a total-cost-of-training comparison, including the hidden costs most organizations never count: travel, downtime, inconsistent delivery, and incident exposure.
Will you cover the IT and security side — or just the business case? +
Both. Pico XR and ArborXR will cover standalone hardware specs, mobile device management, enterprise security compliance, and what your IT team needs to hear before approving a deployment. These are the conversations that kill VR projects when they're left until the end.
Who should attend from my team? +
L&D leaders, training directors, EHS managers, operations leaders, and anyone responsible for building the business case. Bringing a finance or IT stakeholder is a smart move — they'll hear the answers directly instead of getting them secondhand.
Can I share the recording with my team? +
Absolutely. Every registrant gets the full recording, the playbook PDF, and ROI calculator access within 24 hours. Share it with budget holders, IT leads, and anyone else who needs to be part of the approval conversation.
Can't make it live — should I still register? +
Yes. Register now and you'll get the recording, playbook, and calculator automatically. That said — joining live is the only way to ask Brian directly how he got VR training funded and deployed at Enel. That part doesn't come with the replay.
