Brilliant from start to finish

Phil was spot on from start to finish. He created a custom session for us at Samdai, looking at the process of how to take a deep dive into a problem we were stuck on as a business.

We have left with a multitude of ideas and resources to move with going forward that we can apply to many future problems. Thank you for your time!

Great support for startups looking to develop their value proposition

Phil always provides clear direction and engaging content for the startups on our accelerator programme. Would happily recommend his services to any programme manager looking for great content to include in their programme.

Insightful Interaction with SBP

Our team had an hour of brain storming with Phil Hornby of 'Scale Business Performance' today and it was informative. His extensive experience and knowledge about the industry made us think out-of-the box. The interaction was insightful, productive and we came up with ready to apply solutions. We strongly recommend Mr Hornby to any business aspiring to scale.

Engaging delivery

We took part in Phil's series as part of TeamSY's Get Funding Fit programme.
The sessions were engaging and very well delivered. A combination of new ideas and coverage of previously encountered concepts that helped internalise. I get the feeling Scale's coaching and mentoring services are spot on and I really appreciate that they support Ecologi.

Thanks for the review Daniel. I love that you have picked up on us working with Ecologi. We use them to offset our carbon footprint, and I'm working on offsetting my entire life! We also plan a tree for everyone that we train. I'm glad to hear that even on the areas you've encountered before the session helped deepen your learning.

Thanks for the review Candice, glad you enjoyed the session. I definitely aim for them to be hands-on, as many people learn best through doing, guided by some structured input. It's an introductory part of a broader programme about exploring, discovering and delivering customer needs.

Thanks for the review Emily. I'm always happy to try to inspire people, and the next generation of students coming through at places like Barnsley College are great examples of where I hope I can have a positive impact on their journeys. Looking forward to supporting future events.

Recommended for PMs and non-PMs alike.

As a product manager, I can attest to Phil's knowledge of the profession. I've attended two of his workshops. They were very engaging, and it seemed that non-PMs picked up on the material quite easily. I learned a few things myself. If you or your team are looking to develop your MVP or apply better product management practices, you can't go wrong with Phil.

Thanks for the review Greg, glad you enjoyed this introductory session and learned something. It was clear you have a good understanding of the space already! It's taken from my explore | discover | deliver programme for helping product teams. I emphasis an entrepreneurial mindset so fits well with entrepreneurs in accelerators like at AWRC.

Phil is an extremely knowledgeable and engaging speaker who is adaptable and able to deliver to all ages and abilities. Phil has previously delivered a fantastic masterclass for our external partners, which was incredibly insightful and well delivered. I can always rely on Phil to deliver high quality sessions which are 'fit for purpose'.

More recently, Phil delivered a career talk to our L3 business students, discussing his career journey and business. Again, this was a wonderful session which had great feedback from students and triggered some really wonderful questions from our students.

Overall, I would highly recommend Phil as a speaker. He is a fantastic contact to have, is totally reliable and can't do enough to help.
