unFIX in der Praxis – Wie aity Strukturen ohne Reorg weiterentwickelt

unfix in der praxis – wie aity strukturen ohne reorg weiterentwickelt wie kann eine it-organisation ihre struktur schrittweise weiterentwickeln – ohne gleich alles umzubauen? ari byland zeigt am beispiel von aity, wie das organisationsmodell unfix pragmatisch eingesetzt wird, um mehr klarheit und wirksamkeit in komplexen systemlandschaften zu schaffen. viele organisationen suchen nach wegen, ihre strukturen agiler und anpassungsfähiger zu gestalten – ohne den nächsten grossen reorg-marathon. bei aity, der it-tochter einer schweizer universalbank, setzt er unfix gezielt ein, um genau das zu erreichen: schrittweise evolution statt big bang. in diesem praxis-input zeigt ari, wie verschiedene muster von unfix in aity angewendet werden. dabei geht es nicht um dogmatische framework-umsetzung, sondern um konkrete antworten auf echte herausforderungen: wer trägt wofür verantwortung? wo braucht es mehr autonomie – und wo gezielte zusammenarbeit? ein input für alle, die sich für lebendige organisationen interessieren – jenseits von charts und theorie. [ari byland](https://www.linkedin.com/in/byland/) versteht sich als wegbereiter für agilität in unternehmen. dabei wirkt er als organisationsentwickler, trainer und podcast-host von «value talks». seine leidenschaft ist es, organisationen mitzugestalten, die erfolgreiche produkte entwickeln und gleichzeitig den bedürfnissen ihrer mitarbeitenden gerecht werden.

Railhöck at Swisscom

railhöck at swisscom hey everyone, this year's last railshöck is hosted at swisscom's. three speakers committed to share their perspective on stage: * **rage against the malicious** by *alexis bernard* is about how to protect rails applications against bots and brute force attacks without annoying humans, and why he thinks captchas are not the best solution. * **smart queries for dumb models** by *clemens helm* about how complex data filtering in rails often leads us down a rabbit hole of custom scopes, service objects, and arel acrobatics. but what if we let the database do what it’s best at? in this talk, you’ll see how sql views paired with plain activerecord and ransack can turn messy logic into elegant, powerful queries — without giving up the rails way. * **level up your engineering career with mentorship, pairing, and ai** by *hana harencarova* feeling stuck in your technical growth? don't learn alone. discover how to tap into mentorship, pair programming, and ai to accelerate your skills. whether you're early in career or going for senior roles, this session will equip you with strategies to get there faster and have fun in the process. as always, snacks and drinks are sponsored by the host. so thanks to swisscom!
