SUMMARY

Value Architects determine where AI creates meaningful business impact, which opportunities should be pursued, and how success will be measured. They work alongside client executives, Industry Reinvention Leads, Domain Architects and delivery teams to build the value case that funds a transformation.

The role combines strategic thinking, commercial acumen and benefits realisation expertise to ensure every transformation initiative is grounded in a credible value case and linked to measurable business outcomes. Beyond individual engagements, the role defines the value methodology, benchmark library and ROI verification standards that underpin Avanade Next's outcome-based commercial model. The person appointed will build a capability that helps clients make better investment decisions before delivery begins and provides objective evidence of value after deployment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Partner with clients, Industry Reinvention Leads, Domain Architects, Trust Architects and Forward Deployed Engineers to identify opportunities,



quantify value potential and prioritise initiatives.
- Build the value hypothesis and business case during shaping, and set the baseline the outcome will be measured against.
- Analyse value pools, strategic priorities, operational constraints and implementation feasibility to determine where AI creates the greatest impact.
- Sequence initiatives and use cases by value and feasibility, and make the prioritisation case to the client.
- Support executive decision-making with structured analysis of prospect size, expected outcomes, investment required, delivery risk and return profile.
- Track realised against projected benefit through delivery, and report it transparently at every gate.
- Hold the go / stop line — recommend stopping, re-scoping or re-prioritising work where the expected value is no longer achievable.
- Support outcome-based, value-based and gain-share commercial models with the numbers that make them defensible.
