An inbound operating system consists of all of the systems, programs, and tools your company uses every day. An inbound operating system keeps everyone in the organization on the same page and working toward the same mission.

[4:50] Question: Why is an Inbound Operating System Important?

An inbound operating system is important because it provides a framework for cohesion.

The operating system provides the tools, systems, and process you need to follow through on your mission and your MSPOT.
