Working together to redesign industrial systems so they work for everyone.
Have you noticed?
High-level professionals from various industries attend conferences to discuss pressing challenges, but real breakthroughs often remain out of reach. That's why we created the Continental Action Plan for Sustainable Industry (CAPSI). CAPSI brings together stakeholders from industrial sectors and impacted communities to develop actionable, transformative solutions. We believe there's ample opportunity for collaboration, and we'd love for you to join this drive for meaningful change.
CAPSI's initial Industry Action Plan (IAP) is VitalRail for expanding freight railroad service to the many industries that can benefit.
Are you a stakeholder who can benefit from CAPSI?
Stakeholders include:
- Primary: Team members—employees, managers, and the executives—who drive daily operations and innovation within their organization
- Secondary: Industry experts, clients, media, funders, public interest groups, and community representatives—people or groups influenced by or influencing specific industries
For effective Industry Action Plans (IAPs), full representation across all key sectors is vital:
- Academia – researchers and educational institutions
- Advocacy groups & NGOs – watchdogs and civil society voices
- Business & Industry – operators, suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, etc.
- Communities & Media – local residents and public opinion shapers
- Funders – financiers, investors, insurers
- Government – regulators and policymakers
- Labor – workers, unions, employees
How do we work together as stakeholders?
We bring stakeholders together through IntelliConference® forums, using IntelliSynthesis®, our structured question-and-response method that enables efficient input from large, diverse groups.
Participants from all relevant sectors are invited to ensure every perspective is heard. Each Participating Stakeholder agrees to respond to question rounds within seven days. Our CAPSI Facilitation Team then compiles and shares a digest of responses, saving time and highlighting key insights. Progress summaries include Action Buttons to help drive decisions.
Our team of Organizers, Facilitators, and Subject Matter Experts is ready to engage with you. We focus on identifying problems, gathering input, and turning ideas into action—while valuing outlier perspectives for the insights they bring.
Join us as a Participating Stakeholder to work directly with our team.

What do we mean by industrial systems?
Industrial systems comprise the complete set of commercial, policy, and planning activities involved in delivering materials and products for modern civilization’s survival and fulfillment. This encompasses all inputs and impacts, including land use, transportation, recycling, and disposal. What occurs between properties is often as significant as what happens at a property.
What do we mean by redesign?
Redesigning industrial systems means working together to improve efficiency and reduce harm. It starts with shared goals, practical metrics, and an honest look at existing strategies. This process may involve rebuilding, repurposing, or relocating facilities. For example, optimizing a strategic mineral supply chain could mean intentionally placing lithium mines, battery plants, factories, and recycling centers to streamline logistics. We call this approach Collaborative Industrial Optimization. It also requires a shift in mindset—where everyone is motivated to support sustainability across the whole system.
What do we mean by sustainable?
Sustainability is our core design goal—creating industrial systems that support long-term harmony between people and nature within Earth’s limited but abundant resources.
Why include Canada, the United States, and Mexico?
These three countries already trade heavily, but our Industrial Action Plans (IAPs) offer deeper coordination tailored to specific industries and regions—while staying connected to broader strategies. Unlike static reports, our process is active and results-driven, with ongoing stakeholder involvement delivering real, measurable impact.
