Spotlight Story – Building Systems That Work

A solid system doesn’t just organize —it liberates. Research from McKinsey & Company (2025) shows that organizations with welldocumented processes see 30 % higher productivity and 23 % faster onboarding times. 

At MFTS, we’re relaunching with frameworks that help educators, trainers, and leaders do just that. Over the coming issues, you’ll see examples of SOPs, onboarding templates, and communication systems you can model in your own organization.
