    I found Phil Jones to be a highly entertaining and very informative speaker. By the end of the evening, my hands were cramped from scribbling down all the ideas popping into my head for my business. A very worthwhile evening!

    What a dynamic and interesting speaker the students in the SME program at Algonquin college have access to on a daily basis. At the "Innovate Or Disintegrate Fund Raiser" we got a small touch of Professor Phil Jones as well as actually talking to a couple of the innovative guest companies and students. As an Annual Event to support the Small Business of Canada's Best Business Plan Award, this event is a must-attend next spring to see what new innovations Prof Phil has found in 2010!
