If you think its is time for real change join us! 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 [[Industry Action Plan]] (IAP), VitalRail support stakeholders in making important improvements to specific industries in the name of economic and environmental long-term stability.  We start by working with key stakeholders to establish ten crucial goals for an IAP, such as VitalRail. Then together through conversations and iterative [[IntelliConference Series]], Participating Stakeholders and CAPSI organizers and facilitators 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.

One more important detail. If all we did was produce great white papers on these changes, that would not be enough. We maintain [[Multilogue Records]] such as the [[VitalRail Multilogue]] so that stakeholders can very simply track summarized progress. Multilogue Records are the places where we all keep track of the work getting done.
