CAPSI and our first [[Industrial System Initiative]] (ISI), VitalRail support stakeholders in making important improvements to specific industries in the name of economic and environmental long-term stability toward a better quality of life. CAPSI and [[VitalRail Organizers and Facilitators]] work with stakeholders to establish ten crucial goals for an Industry ISI.
