Ari Byland is an unFIX Certified Facilitator, author of "Value Talks - Effective Patterns for Learning Organizations," and host of the Value Talks Podcast with 100+ episodes featuring practitioners from across the DACH region.

What sets Ari apart: He bridges the gap between agile practices and organizational design. As Head of Change & Transformation and Professional Scrum Trainer at Scrum.org for 10 years, he brings real-world insights from transforming traditional organizations into adaptive, pattern-based systems.

His approach combines unFIX patterns with practical facilitation techniques—Liberating Structures, Lean Change Management, and Professional Scrum—creating versatile solutions for complex organizational challenges. With his background in banking IT, product management, and software development, he understands both the technical and human dimensions of organizational change.

His teaching philosophy: Organizations aren't problems to be solved with frameworks—they're living systems to be designed with patterns. Through his book and podcast, he shares proven patterns from learning organizations, always grounded in real transformation stories rather than theoretical models.

Based in Switzerland, Ari delivers workshops, training, and consulting across the DACH region in both German and English.
