About
Faaleh M. Sookye
Digital transformation and SME productivity consultant focused on practical AI readiness, execution clarity, and adoption pathways.
What I do
I help organisations improve execution and modernise operations through targeted digital adoption, structured capability building, and clear implementation roadmaps. The emphasis is not on technology for its own sake, but on measurable productivity gains and better decision-making.
My work sits at the intersection of digital transformation, SME development, and applied AI readiness. I translate complex change into simple, actionable steps that teams can actually implement and sustain.
How I work
I combine strategy with delivery discipline. The objective is to reduce risk, remove execution bottlenecks, and ensure that digital initiatives create value in real operations.
Diagnose constraints
Identify where execution breaks, why adoption stalls, and what must be strengthened first.
Design the pathway
Translate objectives into a structured roadmap aligned to people, processes, systems, and external realities.
Support implementation
Light governance and practical guidance to help teams embed change and sustain outcomes.
Signature framework
ProjectSpine
ProjectSpine is my execution-readiness framework designed as a precursor to any digital transformation, including AI adoption. It assesses the organisation’s current operating reality across four pillars: Technology, Organisational Structure, Environment, and Human Capacity. The result is a constraint-led view of readiness and a practical roadmap that improves implementation success.
- Clarifies what is blocking execution
- Reduces dependency on key individuals
- Improves adoption of systems and ways of working
- Prevents misdirected spend on tools before readiness
What I deliver
The outputs below reflect how engagements typically translate into practical value for SMEs and programmes.
Readiness diagnostics
Execution readiness and capability assessments to reduce failure risk before implementing new systems or AI initiatives.
Transformation roadmaps
Structured, prioritised roadmaps that translate goals into achievable operational change, with clear sequencing.
Adoption support
Practical guidance, lightweight governance, and implementation support to help teams embed change and sustain results.
Typical engagement scenarios
- Planning digital or AI initiatives and needing readiness clarity
- Systems implemented but under-used due to adoption gaps
- Owner-dependent execution creating bottlenecks
- Operational complexity limiting growth and consistency
Current research interest
I also work on AI readiness and organisational capability measurement, with a focus on SME realities and practical implementation. This strengthens the rigour behind diagnostics and improves the quality of recommendations.
If you are planning change, start with execution clarity.
Share your context and what you are aiming to implement. I will advise the most sensible next step.
