Applyd’s Value Creation (AVC) Model ™️

Transformation-led value creation is our DNA. Applyd’s Value Creation (AVC) model balances buy-side, sell-side, workforce and sustainability value chains, purposefully, through orchestration.

Applyd's experience tells us that organisations may focus on one or more areas of AVC, but most don't orchestrate these elements together around value creating choices. This is where Applyd people and the AVC model kicks in.

AVC is designed to turn ‘externally impacting‘ factors into sustainable growth whilst right-fitting your business model. We don’t just deliver change; we shape it, making each move matter across capital, capability, capacity and rhythm.

Our Applied Methodology

Applyd stays agile across the AVC model, but we solve your problems through depth and context. We embrace structure, but we don’t follow a ‘cookie cutter’ approach to solving problems.

We know that each organisational situation is unique even if challenges can be shared. Our delivery model respects these nuances so that those who don’t know where to start can work with a trusted partner that knows how to start and keep meaningful momentum.

Ready - LT preparedness

Ready is a precision diagnostic designed to de-risk transformation and accelerate value creation

Whether change is mobilising or already inflight, ‘Ready’ offers a sharp, structured lens through ~50 targeted questions and honest dialogue.

It maps four critical dimensions:

  • Buy-side – How organisations absorb and align with change through their supply chain
  • Sell-side – How organisations derive value from their customers, clients and prospects
  • Workforce Orchestration – How people, structures and talent interplay with wider organisational goals
  • Sustainability – How change endures beyond profit acceleration and daily cashflow pressures

Ready also surfaces the interdependencies that quietly make or break transformation.

This isn’t a survey. It’s an insight-rich assessment that shows what’s working, what’s wobbling, and what’s missing so leaders can move with clarity and purpose.

Future-state procurement operating models and organisation structures that unlock strategic value, improve control, and enable scalable delivery.

Whether post-merger, post-regulatory review, or in response to growth, we help CPOs rearchitect their function for resilience and performance:

  • Current-state diagnostic: Assess procurement’s existing structure, processes, governance, and capability maturity to identify pain points and design levers.
  • Future-state operating model design: Define the optimal structure across categories, geographies, and business units; balancing centralisation, agility, and control.
  • Organisation structure & role mapping: Design clear accountability frameworks, role profiles, spans of control, and talent pathways aligned to strategic priorities.
  • Governance & decision rights: Establish procurement’s position in enterprise governance, clarifying escalation paths, policy ownership, and commercial authority.
  • Design for delivery: Ensure the model is not just strategic but executable; with clear transition plans, stakeholder alignment, and embedded change support.

From Our Founder

What is Applyd?

Most organisations know what they want to achieve. What they struggle with is the gap between intent and delivery — the messy, ambiguous middle where traditional structures, consultants and frameworks run out of road. Thinq exists for that space. We bring the altitude to see the system, and the scars to know how to move through it.

What makes applyd different

Strategy and delivery, connected

Applyd connects strategy and delivery in one place, so organisations don’t get stuck between big ideas and real‑world execution.

Value creation expertise, not generic support

It brings genuine value creation domain expertise to transformation, not generic PMO support, so decisions are grounded in how the business actually works.

Whole-system thinking

Applyd looks at the whole system, helping organisations fix root causes rather than running isolated projects that don’t add up.

Building capability, not dependency

It builds capability as it works, leaving teams stronger and more self‑sufficient instead of dependent on long‑term consultancy support.
