Whist at J P Morgan Chase, I decided to explore virtual gaming to teach finance in a fun and engaging manner, to our large, fairly young Global Finance team based in India. I ran the idea past my boss, the J P Morgan Chase Controller as well as the Investment Banking CFO and they were both quite supportive.

Having secured senior management sponsorship and support, execution of this fairly unexplored concept, in a structured manner, was now key. This is where Thomas Vaidhyan and his team at Aten Inc really worked with us as a strategic partner and helped convert this idea into a virtual reality for us. The product, which we christened "Lateral" was very well received and even won the prize in 2012 for Innovation in a prestigious internal competition at J P Morgan Chase.

Virtual Immersive Learning

These Research proven, highly engaging, immersive simulations mimic core experiences that users have in a professional practicum in the field, enabling measurement of different types of learning, tracking of individual strengths / weaknesses and are structured to measure active construction of knowledge, performance on realistic complex tasks and numerous extremely valuable constructs which cannot otherwise be measured.

Initiated by the Department Of Defense, 3D Immersive Simulations using principles of evidence centered design, have been widely researched by Universities/Organizations like National Center for Research on Evaluation (UCLA), Harvard, NC State, Virginia Tech etc. and a range of Fortune 500 companies. They are accepted across industries as one of the most effective methods of training and assessment.
