''Industrial Systems Initiatives are the strategies and actions needed for amplifying the profitability and sustainability of whole industrial systems, including the complete set of commercial, policy, and planning activities.'' 
You have entered the work side of CAPSI. CAPSI is both a strategic thinking community and a set of methods and functionality designed to support and speed collaboration.  Once you register as a Stakeholder or a Professional Stakeholder on the [[Participation Options]] page you can join with the Team to strategize on designing new Industry Action Plans (IAP) or work directly on our first initiative, [[VitalRail: A Comprehensive Growth Plan for Rail-Enabled Industrial Productivity/VitalRail Stakeholders|VitalRail]].  Then use the Discussion Tab above to post your comments and questions. The Staff and supporting Participating Stakeholders responsible for this page will get back to you ASAP.  After that, the sky is the limit in terms of your opportunity to take on this important work.
