'''CAPSI Process'''</br>
Typical conferences draw hundreds of people who listen passively to speakers and their PowerPoint presentations. Even when hallway and dinner conversations are lively, the energy fades by the time participants start their next workday.
CAPSI convenes X stakeholders in IntelliConference® Series that apply IntelliSynthesis®, our breakthrough question-and-response dialogue method. IntelliSynthesis generates input efficiently from small or large groups of stakeholders around a specific issue, market, or industry.


'''Methodology'''</br>
OnTrackNorthAmerica’s IntelliConferences® bring together stakeholders, online and in person, for efficient discussions that harness collective intelligence, resulting in improved solutions, better-informed decisions, and effective action.
IntelliConference Series capture and catalog all perspectives, conversation details, and thinking in a transparent, continuously evolving record that becomes future reports, presentations, and action plans. Within the Series, an Introductory IntelliConference establishes understanding and relationship amongst stakeholders toward addressing a challenge. Next, in Exploratory IntelliConferences, IntelliSynthesis guides inquiry by a facilitation team to elicit and expand each participant's thinking. When exploration and problem solving has concluded, the Series moves into Action IntelliConferences. Collective action is one of the biggest hurdles in implementing collaborative, cross-sector plans. Our IntelliConferences, combined with the IntelliSynthesis method, overcome that obstacle.


'''Advantages Over Traditional Collaboration Methods'''</br>
=== Efficient, Effective Engagement ===
CAPSI IntelliConferences® transcend the limitations of social media, online interaction, and typical in-person conferences by convening thoughtful deliberation among a diverse group of stakeholders to address complex problems and opportunities. Our work is a simple yet elegant approach to group dialogue that supercharges the public and private sector's ability to collaborate for more profitable industrial activity that also benefits the economic and environmental sustainability needs of society.
IntelliConferences present a path-breaking approach to small- and large-group dialogue that greatly reduces participants’ time commitment while increasing the impact and satisfaction of the interaction. This approach is driven by our inquiry-based method for dialogue and thinking called [[IntelliSynthesis|IntelliSynthesis®]].


IntelliSynthesis illuminates participants' beliefs on a specific subject to create breakthrough knowledge. The result is a group "transformation" in thinking, a shift from limiting notions to an authentically generated group understanding that resolves a problem and launches an opportunity.

Business, government, association, labor, academia, industry media, community 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 a topic's nuances and intricacies. All perspectives and essential conversation details are captured and tracked in an open dialogue record that becomes the long-term action plans that informs future industry development. Of critical importance, IntelliSynthesis® enables confidentiality of sensitive perspectives.

Typical conferences draw hundreds of people who listen passively to speakers and their PowerPoint presentations. Even when hallway and dinner conversations are lively, the energy fades by the time participants start their next workday.

OnTrackNorthAmerica’s IntelliConferences® bring together stakeholders, online and in person, for efficient discussions that harness collective intelligence, resulting in improved solutions, better-informed decisions, and effective action.

Efficient, Effective Engagement

IntelliConferences present a path-breaking approach to small- and large-group dialogue that greatly reduces participants’ time commitment while increasing the impact and satisfaction of the interaction. This approach is driven by our inquiry-based method for dialogue and thinking called IntelliSynthesis®.

Traditional Processes ❌ IntelliConferences ✅
Fixed meeting schedules require participants to travel or go online at pre-determined times. Asynchronous flexibility allows participants to read and respond on their own schedules, from wherever they are.
Inadequate facilitation results in chaotic banter or polite, unproductive conversation that leaves essential questions unanswered. Call and response is initiated by the facilitation team, who language the dialogue agenda as questions, rather than phrases.
Participants are expected to read what everyone has written, wasting valuable time. The facilitation team summarizes each rounds’ input, saving participants time and stimulating enthusiastic participation and real results.
Participation is spotty with a majority of the input coming from the loudest few. Participation is robust driven by a set of reasonable agreements signed by each participant at registration, with adherence tracked and cheered.
Squabbles and entrenched positions flare up when participants are forced to respond directly to previous posts. The facilitation team identifies outlier perspectives that may be highly valuable or reflect an issue that must be resolved for the engagement to advance.
Sharing some views can be risky if forced to do so publicly. Anonymity is an option wherein participants can choose public or private on all or some of their input.
