Spikesz Solutions exists for the work between strategy decks and system configuration.
Sonja Lekahena founded Spikesz Solutions for the work that sits between strategy decks and system configuration.
After 25 years in enterprise HR systems delivery, she has seen the same pattern repeatedly: technology is bought with ambition, implemented under pressure and then left to drift once the project team moves on. Ownership blurs. Local workarounds appear. Governance becomes informal. The system still runs, but control weakens.
AI is making that pattern more urgent.
HR leaders are now expected to adopt AI, govern AI, communicate AI, classify AI, prove control over AI and still deliver measurable value. But in most organisations, HR AI accountability is scattered across HR, HRIS, Payroll, IT, Legal, Compliance, DPO, vendors and employee representatives.
Spikesz Solutions exists to bring control to that mess: first by making HR AI visible and classifiable, then by helping organisations implement governed workflows, and then by keeping those workflows controlled after go-live.

What this experience brings to HR AI governance
Spikesz Solutions is not an AI-first consultancy that learned HR. It is an HR technology delivery practice that understands what happens when AI enters the real operating model.
That means understanding how vendor AI features behave inside complex HR stacks. How works councils ask questions about technology. How Legal and Compliance need evidence structured. How Payroll teams experience AI-adjacent risk. How HR shared services handle exception cases.
It also means understanding the messy middle of implementation: the stakeholder dynamics, the political sensitivities, the system limitations, the data quality problems and the human oversight gaps that no governance framework document will prevent on its own.
