Melbourne General Practice Network 

Keith has effectively trained and consulted myself and two Secondary college students on the topics of podcasting and developing ‘blogs’ for the purpose of our Kokoda Pathways project. His input was invaluable and has brought the know how into MGPN so other staff may, if they wish, consider blogging and podcasting as a tool for communicating with their GP customers/partners etc.

Even though most members of our team of communications professionals have experience with various elements of Web 2.0 and the social media, it was highly productive to have Keith De La Rue engage with our team to summarise the latest trends and explore potential communication opportunities and pitfalls.
 
Pre-workshop interviews with our management team meant that Keith hit the ground running with a well focused presentation and led relevant discussion. It was a great way to stimulate creative thinking around problems and solutions - and what’s more, it was good fun.

• The seminar today was a great success. Keith… did a really great job in facilitating the meeting and because of his excellent work, we were able to identify four areas of mutual interest. Thanks once again. - Marketing Director
• …as usual Keith’s facilitation of the workshop was of immense value. Keith kept us on track and importantly facilitated the production of an agreed action plan to for a company-wide approach to the $A50 million of program funds. - Marketing Manager

Conferences

Conference speaking since 2004 in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia.  Recent participant feedback received includes the following:

Enterprise 2.0 for Information Professionals, Key Forums, 15 August 08

• I was… enormously appreciative of the opportunity to attend the Conference and Master Class…  You provided a terrific consolidation of all the ideas that had been floated in a range of disparate contexts.
• Commonsense linkage between well-established communication theory & practice with Web 2.0 tools/applications. Good organisational theory too.
• Definitely would recommend it to others: commonsense and ‘how to’.
• Most beneficial aspect of the course was the step-by-step breakdown and great tools for taking away and using afterwards.

Advancing Business Classification Initiatives, Ark Group Australia, 25 June 08

• Great speaker. I got a lot out of this. Very practical with points to take back and consider.
• Very engaging… Good case study.
• Extremely useful, insightful presentation. Very responsive to questions.

A “tag-team” presentation on Web 2.0 with Matt Moore, 2007:

• Matt and Keith’s presentation was fantastic. Raised some really good examples and issues to do with the various technologies. I’ll take a fair bit away from this presentation.
• Great tag team. Nice energy and great content. Well done.
• Dynamic. Excellent, knowledgeable presenters.
• Entertaining and informative set of ideas.

Intranet 2.0 conference, 2007

• First rate presentation.
• Subject matter new and useful, presentation excellent.
• Great detail on the emerging technologies and well delivered.
• Great to see what will happen in the future – heaps of great ideas and leads.
• Finally someone who links to the theme that it’s all about the people!
