About us

The team behind the Agile Angel.

We're not theorists. We've led strategy at BMW, digital at the Financial Times, and advisory at Gartner. We've seen what works (and what doesn't) across 500+ organisations.

There's not much
we haven't seen.

Quantum of Value has worked across a deliberately broad spectrum. The patterns repeat. The fixes travel.

Josef Bacher

Josef

Strategy Director at BMW
VP at Gartner Financial Services

Josef has spent his career at the intersection of business strategy and Agile delivery. He started at BMW, where he saw organisations waste millions building the wrong thing. That experience never left him.

At Gartner, he advised some of the world's most complex organisations on their digital transformation journeys. But advising from the outside wasn't enough. He wanted to be the person in the room making the hard calls, closing the gap between boardroom ambition and delivery reality.

That's why he founded Quantum of Value with Allison. Because sustainable change requires both clear strategy and the courage to execute it. Josef doesn't just advise. He walks with you, and he's been the one holding the pen when the decisions get made.

Allison Bacher

Allison

Senior Leader at Gartner
Head of Digital at the Financial Times

Allison's career spans leadership at some of the world's most respected organisations. At the Financial Times, she led digital transformation for one of the globe's most iconic brands. At Gartner, she advised the companies that advise everyone else, watching leaders struggle with the same challenges again and again.

What drives Allison is the individual. She sees the leader who has the potential but needs someone in their corner. Someone who understands the pressure, the complexity, and the loneliness of the role. That's why she transitioned from advisory to personal coaching and development.

As a trusted coach and advisor, Allison helps people work through complicated situations and grow into the roles their organisations need. She's been the person who believes in them when they doubt themselves. That belief, plus honest feedback, is what unlocks real change.

Personal coaching

Sam's career started in the legal industry, where precision wasn't optional. It was the standard. That commitment to getting things right first time shapes everything at Quantum of Value today.

A Professional Scrum Master with a decade of experience. Fluent Japanese speaker. Sam applies Agile practices to run our own operations, so the same rigour we champion for clients shows up in how we work internally. The result: a client experience that holds up, every time.

Internal Agile practice

Quality without compromise

Together

Josef sees the system. Allison sees the person.

Together, they address both, because sustainable change requires both organisational design and individual growth.

"The Agile Angel has two wings."

Our philosophy

Agile isn't a process. It's how you think, act, and deliver

The best transformations start with one person, not an org chart

90 minutes a week, compounded over months, changes careers

You don't need another framework. You need someone who gets it.
