Where stakeholders in Canada, the United States, and Mexico design sustainable industrial systems that work for everyone.

We have a challenge ahead of us.

Our industrial systems are not optimized for sustainability or profitability. The truth is, neither marketplace dynamics nor vested interest lobbying lead to smart supply chains. From natural resources and agriculture to production, consumption, and recycling, our society must redesign its fragmented industrial systems.

Why do we need to meet this head-on?

Civilization on a resource-limited planet cannot thrive without a new level of thinking, planning, and investing. Right now, we are missing out on crucial opportunities to improve efficiency, sustainability, and profits.

How does OnTrackNorthAmerica address this problem?

OnTrackNorthAmerica brings stakeholders together to solve problems that single organizations cannot. We facilitate thinking, planning, and investing at the level of “Civilization Engineering” and Industrial Systems Initiatives.

Individual businesses and political jurisdictions all win from acting as a system. This collaboration and coordination renders everyone smarter. OTNA shines a bright light on the inadequacy of competition to deliver sustainably profitable resource-based industrial activity.      

Explore our Industrial Systems Initiatives or visit the Curriculum section to understand the methodologies that make it work.
