Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:58:03 GMT

“Time is the scarcest resource, and unless it is managed, nothing else can be managed.” This profound insight from Peter Drucker, often regarded as the ‘father of modern management,’ encapsulates the core philosophy behind CuroWork, a groundbreaking platform envisioned by co-founders Daniel Paik and Andy Chen.Daniel Paik’s 18 years of experience in back-office operations unveiled a critical issue: the lack of a system to accurately measure and manage time and tasks at work. Through conversations with over 200 back-office professionals, he found a common struggle—teams felt overwhelmed, burnt out, and managers were in the dark about their team’s capacity.

Every day is new, ...
