Emily is a UK-based independent Agile organisational consultant, coach, trainer and speaker. Her work focuses on creating environments where people and teams thrive. She does this by enabling effective collaboration, embedding iterative and user-focused ways of working, initiating communities of practice initiatives and leading initiatives for growing skills and capabilities. All of which help create sustainable change.

Before starting Tacit in 2014, she was the Head of Agile Delivery at Government Digital Service (GDS), where she set the standard of effective agile delivery. At GDS, she modelled the now widely-followed approach to communities of practice, which is illustrated in her book Building Successful Communities of Practice and has helped many organisations benefit from them.

She is always seeking opportunities to give back to the Agile community. She has founded several meetups, including Agile in the Ether, Agile Liverpool, Agile on the Bench and Agile in Leeds. In addition, she is an experienced keynote speaker who presents at conferences around the world.

She blogs at emilywebber.co.uk and lists a bunch of side projects at ewebber.co.uk.
