This is a team sport. We're advancing North America's industrial systems through stakeholder dialogue, [[Collaborative Industrial Optimization]], and in-the-field action. That requires diverse expertise and perspectives. Here's how you can contribute:


==== Introduction ====
= Roles =
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 leading to a better quality of life for all.  We start by working with key stakeholders to establish ten crucial goals for an ISI, such as VitalRail. Then together through conversations and iterative [[IntelliConference Series]], Participating Stakeholders and staff drill down into the detail of the goals to address the challenges, opportunities and breakthroughs. The work is not only about uncovering great information. The real work is about breakthroughs that create new and better products and services.  This page is the starting place for joining us in doing this critical work.
Use our Interest Form to express your interest in any of these roles!


One more important detail. If all we did was produce great white papers on these changes, that would not be enough. We maintain the CAPSI Multilogues such as the [[VitalRail Multilogue]] so that stakeholders can very simply track progress in summaries but still drill down into the the supporting evidence.
