High-profile corporate training projects are too important to leave to chance. Current training industry research shows that up to 50–75% custom corporate training projects fail. Failure refers to training project completed, training was NOT launched on-time, on-budget, or it did not meet the expected business requirements. 

What causes projects to fail?  The blame points to UN-prepared program managers, but it’s really not their fault. When centralized corporate training department missions changed to only deal with compensatory training, this meant that all other training projects were diverted to business divisions or business units.  The program manager is very product savvy, but we’ve found that most have NO experience in leading complex training projects with hard deadlines. 

In fact,  

Design2Train helps first-time training leaders consistently beat those odds.

We use PLAN239 — our proven training project leadership system — to help organizations reduce design risk, align stakeholders, control content development scope, and move critical learning initiatives from idea to successfully launch, on-time and on-budget. 

Stop Gambling With Your Business-Critical Training Project

Launch high-stakes corporate training initiatives on time, on budget, and built to deliver the business results senior leadership expects.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: recent training research has revealed that high-profile training projects fail 50-75% because of one key issue. They drift off-scope, stall in review cycles, exceed the budget, arrive late—or launch without providing the training promise of meeting business need expectations. 

That is not an instructional-design course development problem.
It is a project leadership and design risk-management problem.

Design2Train helps corporate teams and experienced instructional designers take control before complexity, competing opinions, and last-minute surprises take over.

With PLAN239, you get a proven system for identifying risk early, aligning the right people around clear decisions, protecting scope, and leading the project from “we need training” to a successful business-ready launch.
