For retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general ALlison Hickey, training and regimentation are second nature. Add to this the fact that human capital development is a passion of hers (Hickey served as a classroom trainer and curriculum developer earlier in her career), and there's no more disciplined candidate for tackling learning tasks with zeal, right? Not so fast. Despite her background, Hickey admits that finding time to complete her company's catalog of mandatory compliance training often has proven difficult. "I's a mom of three with a crazy calendar, and there are never enough clear, open clocks of time in my schedule to go online and complete training."

Which explains why her interest was piques in 2007 when Hickey, the Reston, VA-based director and program manager of the national security services practice at Accenture, first heard about a new mobile learning initiative just getting started at the company.
