Late in 2019, I announced on Talking Shop with Andy Polaine, Adrienne Tan and Dr. John Curran that one of the exciting new initiatives that This is HCD was working on for 2020, was focussing on enabling our global audience to connect to form deeper relationships with one and another and connect over the common goal of ‘doing good’ through opening local chapters in cities around the world.

So far we have announced Sydney, Melbourne, Dublin, Berlin, Buenos Aires, San Francisco and now we are so excited to add our very first Eastern Europe Chapters — in Prague and Brno!

I am thrilled to add Prague and Brno to the international chapters of This is HCD. It’s really exciting to have David as part of the global team and helping build and maintain our global community

Introducing David Tuč as Chapter Leads for both Prague and Brno

“I’m thrilled to join the This is HCD family by starting chapters in Prague and Brno. We love to see This is HCD being a welcoming community with an ever-learning mindset. Inspirational provocation, opening Pandora’s boxes and practice in HCD with an unprecedented focus on long-term (and often overseen) human needs is the special sauce we’re about to add into both global and local communities.”

About David and Stride XL

David started his career in design back in 2003 as a freelance UX designer. Three years later he co-founded an agency Adbros Digital. After a few successful years in the agency business, he decided to learn the other perspective of business too and started doing big things from inside of some top-tech international companies. Later on, he spent 6 years with Oracle Netsuite, Business Innovation Centre of Konica Minolta, and Kiwi.com in design and innovation leadership roles.

However, his ambitions, drive, and commitment to meaningfulness made him leave the corporate world. In 2017 David co-founded Stride XL.

Stride XL is a companion of top-notch design, research and innovation experts working together under a single brand. The team helps companies to create successful business models, products and services while delivering a positive impact to organisation’s culture, employee competence, our Planet and society.

Stride XL operates globally, having the workforce spread over three locations (Praha, Brno and Bratislava) and looking for setting up new branches in Europe and Northern America.
