What are the design criteria for CAPSI?

What Outcomes do stakeholders envision?

• What outcomes do we want for the environment?
• What outcomes do we want for citizens?
• What outcomes do we want for business owners?
• What outcomes do we want for investors?
• What resources does society need and want?
• What goods does society need and want?

How must capital deployment evolve to support sustainable industrial systems?

How do we want investors, shareholders, and lenders to evolve to support sustainable industrial systems?

• What do we call this approach to industrial investment?
  • Sustainable Systems Capitalization

How must planning evolve to support sustainable industrial systems?

How do we want public-sector economic development to contribute to sustainable industrial systems?

• What do we call this approach to supply chain-oriented industrial development?
  • Collaborative Industrial Optimization
    • Focuses on existing businesses and their supply chains
    • Focuses on existing supply chains and new businesses and infrastructure that could serve the community
    • Private sector championed, led, and funded
    • What planning and investment domains are we connecting?
    • Public, Private, Community Collaboration
    • How do we want land use decisions to contribute to sustainable industrial systems?
    • What do we call this approach to land use?
    • Industrial Land Value Optimization
    • Embraces whole supply chains rather than just individual projects and properties

How do we account for the full impact of industrial systems in advancing sustainability?

• What do we call this accounting?
  • OnTrackNorthAmerica’s Land Freight Lifecycle Impact Analysis and Calculator reinvent benefit-cost analysis to guide sustainable highway and railway goods movement investments.
    • This approach to lifecycle analysis can be applied to an entire cradle-to-grave industrial system.

What interactions among public and private sector entities must evolve to support systemwide sustainability?

• RFQs, RFIs, RFPs, Proposals, Contracts, Work Scopes, Reports, and Action Plans.
