Naomi Lekota

I’m a transformation consultant and delivery leader with 8+ years shaping and embedding operating model change across government, public safety, digital learning, and regulated environments. I translate strategy into practical execution by designing the conditions under which delivery succeeds—governance, decision forums, team structures, planning cadences, product ownership, delivery controls, tooling, and performance visibility.

I’ve influenced £30M+ investment in national public safety technology upgrades across 108 UK sites by aligning governance, supplier planning, and deployment readiness. At CGI, I led supplier engagement and delivery coordination in a 16+ supplier ecosystem, facilitated cross-agency workshops, and coached teams to strengthen Scrum foundations and embed SAFe practices—improving programme readiness by 30%.

Earlier, I led the transition of a digital learning platform from waterfall to agile delivery, delivering an AI-powered chatbot MVP in 60 days. This reduced onboarding time by 40%, streamlined communications and delivery plans across partners, and helped teams reach 95% sprint goal achievement through practical Scrum frameworks and coaching.

My approach is rooted in systems thinking: I don’t treat delivery, product, change, governance, risk, or capability as isolated disciplines. I build integrated target operating models, executive reporting visibility, and capability frameworks aligned to DDaT and SFIA—so transformation improves pace, clarity, resilience, and business outcomes.
