Emma’s story is anchored in two worlds that rarely meet: elite sport and enterprise transformation. While building a professional football career, she developed deep, practical expertise in large-scale programmes for FTSE and global brands. Her grounding across AI, ERP, CRM and HCM ecosystems positions her as a trusted partner to Microsoft, Dayforce and organisations that want to navigate transformation with discipline, risk awareness and genuine quality control.

She is known for a direct, engaging style that cuts through jargon and gets to the truth of how programmes succeed or fail. Her talks blend sharp insight with authenticity, humour and sports logic, giving both technical and functional audiences something they can use the moment they leave the room.

Her sporting pedigree shapes her perspective. She sees transformation through the same lens as high-performance football: preparation, drills and strategy come first, and shortcuts simply cost you later.

Phil Ledgerwood’s resumé looks like seven other people’s resumés stitched together. He has baked bagels, guarded Clint Black’s town home, cooked for a gourmet food shop, freed stuck college students from elevators, managed printing plates for packaging, and served as a linguist in the Air Force. He taught himself HTML when the Netscape browser was still a thing, and the rest is history.

Phil is a twenty-year veteran of the software development industry in the Kansas City area. If you’re in the Kansas City area, he is two degrees of separation away from any programmer you know and has probably worked for, at, or with your company.

When the agile movement hit town, Phil knew a good thing when he saw it and became an early adopter of first wave agile practices. He has used these practices to ideate, build, and complete software projects ranging from loan forecasting to routing irrigation trucks to managing pharmacies to predictive lead generation to selling teddy bears. When people ask what vertical his company serves, he says, “Yours.”

Phil has incorporated Lean methodologies into software development just like his father used to do in manufacturing. When he partnered with Travis Dietz to start Integrity Inspired Solutions in 2012, they laid the foundation in Lean to make the custom software development enterprise more humane, predictable, and focused on the success of everyone involved.

A regular speaker at developer, Lean, and Agile conferences, Phil has a passion for taking his company’s ways to other companies whether they create software or not. He loves to see them transform from a collection of interactions riddled with disappointments and broken promises to team-oriented relational companies enjoying newfound trust, joy, efficiency, and success. Several companies from all over the world in all different industries contract Phil to help coach them through their own journeys. He also hosts the successful "Agile Bites" podcast.

When he’s not helping project managers learn predictive metrics or helping developers write customer-focused features, he’s enjoying a wide array of highly geeky hobbies including fantasy and sci-fi novels, gaming, and teaching Filipino stick fighting. His main hobby is making the world a better place for everyone who has to share the planet with him, and the engine for that is love.

With over 25 years of experience architecting high-performance applications, I thrive at the intersection of technical depth and product discovery. My career is defined by a unique duality: I am a technical builder who has developed AI-powered workflows and an elite educator who has trained 500+ professionals, achieving a 90% average learner satisfaction rate.

I hold the AWS Authorized Instructor (AAI) Champion status, the highest tier recognized by AWS for exceptional teaching quality and technical expertise. My deep platform fluency led to my selection as an AWS Subject Matter Expert (SME) to develop official certification exams, where I helped write and evaluate the standards for global AWS certification programs.

Today, as a Senior Technical Communicator and AI Product Contributor, I lead the discovery and design of AI Assistants and autonomous workflows. I don't just talk about AI; I build it:
- Agentic Workflows: I design and prioritize feature backlogs for integrated AI Assistants across DCM, BI, and Knowledge-Base products.
- Prompt Engineering: I developed a prompt-engineered RFP response toolkit that enabled a 50% shortlist rate.
- Community Leadership: I am an active speaker at Google Developer Groups, sharing hands-on lessons on building AI agents and demystifying prompt engineering for developer audiences.

My expertise is backed by a robust certification portfolio, including AWS Machine Learning – Specialty and AWS Certified AI Practitioner. As I expand my fluency into Azure AI, I bring a multi-cloud perspective to the challenge of leveraging company knowledge to build intelligent assistants that boost productivity and streamline enterprise workflows.
