Emily Webber
Hello, I'm Emily.
I'm an independent organisation consultant, coach, trainer, speaker and author of Building Successful Communities of Practice. I am passionate about creating environments that enable people to thrive so that organisations can thrive.
Before setting up Tacit in 2014, I was the Head of Agile Delivery at Government Digital Service (GDS).
I have a master's in fine art from the Slade, and my creativity and ability to combine concepts and ideas help me create approaches and models that support collaborative and joined-up working.
This website links out to my current and previous projects, check them out in the links below.
