To-Do Studio was founded by Mario Cardinal and Erik Renaud with the vision that the world would be a better place if leaders could empower others to take initiative. It took us several years of experimentation to find a simple and elegant solution to the following problem: How can we enable people to complete together a common to-do list? The challenge was to provide an answer which relies on the principle of self-directed teams and helps leaders avoid the burden of follow-ups and tough talks that occur when pushing and pulling others to take initiative. After five years of R&D, we are bringing to market the result of our innovation, namely To-Do Studio, an automated assistant offered as Software as a Service (SaaS).
