What are the Methodologies

  • Continental Action Plan for Sustainable Industry (CAPSI)
  • By the end of 2026, Canada, the U.S., and Mexico align on a Continental Action Plan for Sustainable Industry (CAPSI), embracing a new set of design principles, metrics, and goals.
  • Rail Enabled Sustainable Environment and Economic Development (RE-SEED)
  • By the end of 2025, North American rail industry staff, unions, management, investors, suppliers, policymakers, and environmental advocates align on a set of commercial, financial, and operational goals that support CAPSI.

OnTrack2028

Industry, government, academia, and citizens working together to create industrial systems and supply chains that support sustainable communities.

Continental Action Plan for Sustainable Industry (CAPSI)

Rail Enabled Sustainable Environment and Economic Development (RE-SEED)

By the end of 2028, the use of land, the design of infrastructure, and the conduct of supply chains make the optimal use of freight railroads in support of sustainable communities.

Communities of Practice

Power Generation and Distribution
Microgrids
Note:This area is a good example of strategic selection of initiatives. G&D is an existing massive special interest group with powerful forward motion. Microgrids are mostly underdeveloped initiatives yet, considering the trim tab effects, very powerful as they are implemented. What is the value of leveraging the trim tab approach in an industry and how is that done?
Mining Materials
Strategic Minerals Logistics Strategy
Transportation and Logistics
Agriculture and Nutrient Management
Soil and water nutrient management
Nutrient accounting in food production
The soil food web

Replacing synthetic fertilizers with industrial scale compost tea

Forest Management and Wood Products
Sustainable Forestry Business Plan
Fire safety
Waste and Recycling
Transportation Mobility
The integration of independent vehicles, rail, and air service
Economic leverage between passenger, class, 1,2 and 3 in development scenarios
Resource sharing

Right-of-way

Freight Railroads
Rail Enabled Sustainable Environment and Economic Development (RE-SEED)
Passenger Railroads
The integration of intercity and urban
Mobility justice
Zoning and Growth
How is growth managed?

Urban, suburban, exurban, rural

Industry, business, commerce and residential

Sustainability and economic growth, no growth

Connected living patterns

Otherwise, if you build it they will come
Geographic advisory committees

What, if anything, needs to change about our forum production strategy and process?

More robust, aggressive organizing goals

Gain startup capital of $500K to commence producing forums, follow-up KBs, media products and commence collaboration software development. Possibly include consulting opportunities outside the forum model

What is the new business model that we are inventing?

Research and market development as profit centers versus cost centers

Those who can self-fund will remain standing in the challenging currents of change

Enrolling paying sponsors by engaging in market place organizing with them previous to asking for sponsorship

Demonstrate the business model by practicing it immediately

Herding cats for fun and profit

The forums are a self-funding, profitable lead generation and research tool. They seed further involvement of the stakeholders

How do you earn your return from sharing and scaling, not hoarding, protecting, or firewalling?

We collect and act on non-proprietary information

By identifying the goals, challenges and solutions for whole industries and across all sectors

Why is revitalization of the 5th estate concept important

A way to add voice to the inefficiently of other sectors

Establish a very proactive network of professional stakeholder advisory groups within unique industry segments

Establish a new definition of the fifth estate that recognizes the role of vast networks of linked advisory groups across the seven sectors of society that are conceived to address wicked problems.

What is our deal (Jeff and Michael)?

Sharing ownership in a start-up venture

Does not include consulting work, that belongs to SRF

What personal concerns and goals does Jeff want to ensure are instilled in what we are doing?

We move fast to establish the business model in civil infrastructure markets to gain leadership around the concept of an industry operating system

That the goals of each forum are robust enough such that participants get excited and can see the impact on their industry.

Specific goals, market changing goals, flags in the sand

No where do we discuss the work process of IntelliSynthesis as a Q and A work process and other narrow implications

Use the first two rounds of an IntelliSynthesis process to enroll professional stakeholders in the other business services.

Establish IntelliSysthesis as a legimate citation source by publishing summaries of IntelliSynthesis events in industry publications and our own media products

By creating a robust market/issue development citation source we open up our work to being referenced in other research and Wikipedia

What personal concerns and goals does Michael want to ensure are instilled in what we are doing?

Install the IntelliSynthesis dialogue methodology at the heart of the POME, whatever we call it, rather than what is available on the Internet for interacting.
