Chicago, IL – November 21, 2006 – Prominent mobile learning authority Tim Keelan, founder of StoryQuest, is sharing insights and trade secrets at a variety of highly regarded learning conferences across the United States.

In September 2006, Keelan addressed attendees at the first annual SumTotal Systems User Conference – TotalConnection 2006 in San Jose, California. His session was devoted to using podcasting as a learning enablement tool.

In two separate presentations, StoryQuest founder Tim Keelan presented “Finding, Capturing & Sharing Stories That Teach & Drive Action” and “Podcasting: an Enterprise Learning Tool” at the “The Human Side of Technology” ASTD Learning Technologies Event presented by the Chicago Chapter of the American Society of Training and Development on October 18 and 19, 2006. Keelan discussed how to find and leverage stories as learning and change management tools within one’s organization, giving attendees the tools and insights on podcasting that can be leveraged within organizations. “When you talk about enterprise podcasting, there are a number of infrastructure and behavioral issues that need to be addressed if you really want to be effective,” notes Keelan.

At the Technology Professional Services Association 2006 Summit in November in Washington, DC, Keelan, along with Gregg Blatt, Senior Vice President of Sales, Keane, Inc., presented “New Approaches to Sales Enablement.” Attendees heard first-hand how, with StoryQuest’s help, Keane developed and rolled out a mobile and global sales enablement program from zero to done in just five months.
