To find common ground, focus on shared goals, like enhancing user experience or solving a specific problem. Use a structured discussion to explore both perspectives: skeptics can identify potential pitfalls, while advocates highlight opportunities. Conduct a pilot project to test feasibility and outcomes, gathering data to guide the decision. Example: If the debate is about AR in training, agree to test it on a small team with measurable outcomes like skill retention and engagement. Use the results to refine or reconsider the approach, fostering collaboration and shared ownership of the decision.

In technological solutions, it’s common for teams to have differing opinions on the enthusiasm of proposed ideas. At Capermint our approach is to carefully evaluate all arguments, ensuring that even when there are conflicting perspectives, once a solution is chosen, the focus shifts to executing it with professionalism. Team members may not always fully agree with the decision, but they contribute as professionals to its implementation. Over time, these differences often diminish as the project progresses. Occasionally, the chosen path may prove to be incorrect, but the value of testing and experimenting is widely acknowledged. There’s always something to learn from the process, regardless of the outcome.

At Vanguard X, we’ve found that pilot projects are incredibly effective. Testing AR on a smaller scale allows teams to see its potential in action and builds confidence in its practicality—or highlights areas to improve before scaling up.

I have found that finding common ground on the practicality of AR solutions requires a structured and collaborative approach. I consult specialists with experience in AR implementation to gain insights and address challenges. Their expertise boosts our confidence in adopting the technology. I focus on small-scale trials and prototypes to test AR in real-world scenarios. This approach ensures the technology fits and helps gather feedback from all stakeholders. It's essential to align AR projects with the business’s core goals. By identifying clear objective whether improving customer experience, enhancing training, or streamlining operations.
