IntelliSynthesis® is, in fact, that theory in action.

Academic leaders, business executives, government officials, and other stakeholders agree to collaborate fully and transparently, moving beyond the siloed thinking of their institutions, companies, and agencies to discuss and tackle the topic's nuances and intricacies. All perspectives and essential conversation details are captured and tracked in an open-source dialogue record that becomes the long-term project plan and informs future reports and presentations. Of critical importance, IntelliSynthesis enables confidential input on sensitive matters or perspectives at the participant's request.

IntelliConference Series are the heart of our work. In IntelliConferences stakeholders working with staff organizers capture and catalog all perspectives, conversation details, and thinking in transparent, continuously evolving records that become action plans.

We plan to initiate 3-to-12 month IntelliConference Series for each of the following VitalRail Dialogues. This allows us all to efficiently accumulate actionable knowledge, conduct robust discussions and work on illuminating and addressing problems and opportunities.

We produce a synchronous zoom Kickoff event for stakeholders at the start of each IntelliConference Series.

Each Exploratory IntelliConference is guided by the VitalRail Facilitation Team. They apply our unique communication technique called IntelliSynthesis to elicit and expand each participant's thinking around pre-submitted questions.

Here we discuss the progress of our collaboration on a Dialogue. Also, to save time we teach stakeholders how to track summaries, digests, background detail, and next events on the discussions so that each of us can be up-to-date without having to devote too much time.

Collective action is one of the biggest hurdles in implementing collaborative, cross-sector industry plans. Our Action IntelliConferences bring it all home. At the The mission of CAPSI Industry Action Plans such as VitalRail is to bring sustainable economic and environmental breakthrough to industries as quickly and safely as possible, not just share good ideas.
