Our approach
At Fractional Imagineering, we don't just consult – we transform. Our work spans multiple continents, helping organisations from the NHS to global manufacturers achieve breakthrough results.
We specialise in turning technology paralysis into decisive action. Whether scaling AI across a multinational enterprise, building regulatory compliance systems for government bodies, or developing high-availability platforms processing hundreds of millions of transactions annually – we deliver outcomes that matter.
Our clients span the UK, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Scandinavia, giving us unique insight into global technology trends and cultural nuances that impact implementation. This international perspective helps us see possibilities others miss.
What sets us apart is our "layer cake" methodology that places cultural change at the foundation of every technological transformation. This approach has delivered measurable results for organisations including:
-
A national weather service whose app remains top-rated years after launch
-
Government agencies needing rapid digital transformation for Brexit readiness
-
Healthcare providers requiring secure, compliant systems during the pandemic
-
Manufacturing enterprises implementing Industry 4.0 and AI capabilities
