Emily Logan is an organization development and change management consultant, currently working at NOBL (no-bell), a small firm determined to help companies rethink change so they are driving real behavior change, learning better ways of engaging across teams and across levels of hierarchy, and becoming better equipped for the changes they will inevitably face in the future.
Emily has a controversial belief (a few, actually) that many change management methodologies, firms, and tools are insufficient (and sometimes even damaging) for how modern companies operate. Whether implementing a new system internally or changing the way teams collaborate to enable a more modern operating model, it is a complex challenge that requires a new way of thinking about people, teams, processes, and company culture. Emily believes experimentation and sensing & responding are key change skills.
In her free time, Emily plays music with various bands and friends in the Seattle area. She lives in Everett with her two cats Newt and Fox Mulder.
