You have entered the OTNA Workspace. When you [[Participation Options|register as a Participating Stakeholder]] you can add your concerns and perspectives to one or more of our Initiatives. 


==== '''Introduction''' ====
== '''In Gear''' ==
You have entered the interactive space of Industry Action Plans. When you [[Participation Options|register as a Stakeholder]] you are joining Teams designing new Industry Action Plans (IAP). You can also work directly on our first plan, [[VitalRail]]. 
* [[VitalRail|VitalRail, Growing Freight Rail Carloads and Sustainable Industrial Systems]]
* [[RE-FOREST|RE-FOREST, Sustainable Forestry and Wood Products]]
* [[RE-STEM|RE-STEM, Sustainable Transportation of Essential Minerals]]


==== '''Scope''' <small>Which industrial systems do we want Industry Action Plans to address?</small><!--former link-->====
== '''In Development''' ==
Our Industry Action Plans target many industries that can benefit from more efficient and sustainable solutions. Below are a few of our plans already put in place.
* RE-CARD, Cement and Aggregates Regional Distribution
 
* [[North American Sustainable Forestry Business Plan|RE-FOREST, Rail Enabled Sustainable Forestry and Wood Products]]
* [[RE-STEM Minerals Industry Action Plan|RE-STEM, Rail-Enabled Sustainable Transportation of Essential Minerals]]
* [[VitalRail]]

Staff Organizers, Facilitators and Participating Stakeholders use [[IntelliConferences and IntelliSynthesis]] to uncover breakthrough information on goals and make decisions about next steps.  If you would like to help us improve our methods and processes or learn more, and are not yet a registered visitor or registered stakeholder, please visit the the [[Participation Options]].
 
If you are already registered you can use the Discussion Tab on this page to make your comments on the following questions. Staff will follow-up with you ASAP.
 
* What do stakeholders want to add to the CAPSI Ethics and Principles?
* How do you think stakeholders should address CAPSI and Industry Action Plan goals?
* What Planning Protocols do stakeholders agree on?
* What Outcomes do stakeholders envision?
* What outcomes do we want for the environment?
* What outcomes do we want for citizens?
* What outcomes do we want for business?
* What outcomes do we want for investors?
* What resources does society need and want to optimize?
* What goods does society need and want to have available?
* What Measures of progress do stakeholders want to apply?
 
==== '''Public-Private Planning'''<!--former link--> ====
Providing your input to these questions will be very valuable to all participants. You can answer questions anonymously by sending staff an email.  See the [[Participation Options]] page.
* How do we want planning to support sustainable industrial systems?
* What benefits do stakeholders want [[Collaborative Industrial Optimization]] to deliver?
* How do we want public-sector economic development to contribute to sustainable industrial systems?
* How do we want private-sector commercial activity to align with sustainable industrial systems?
* How do we want land use decisions to contribute to sustainable industrial systems?
* How do we want transportation planning to evolve to support sustainable industrial systems?
* How can academic and commercial research support sustainable industrial systems?
* What factors do we want to include in assessing the full impact of industrial systems?
* How must interactions among public and private sector entities evolve to support systemwide sustainability?
 
==== '''Capital Deployment''' ====
As we address these broader questions we drill down into more detailed questions.
* How do we want capital deployment to support sustainable industrial systems?
* How do we want investors’ decisions on capital deployment to evolve?
* How do we want business stakeholders’ approach to capital deployment to evolve?
* How do we want lenders’ approach to capital deployment to evolve?
* How do we want public agencies’ approach to capital deployment to evolve?
* What advantages will Sustainable Systems Capitalization deliver?
