How Do We Get Stakeholders to Agree?

IntelliConferences are large-scale, multi-stakeholder dialogues that are transparent and efficient.

They represent a novel approach to solving intractable problems using human intelligence.

Through iterative, inquiry-based conversations and synthesis, stakeholders drill down into the details to uncover barriers and develop new opportunities for progress.

Learn More About Our Methodology

“Increased federal and private infrastructure spending is exacerbating the inefficiencies in our supply chains. We need to think and invest at a multidimensional level that guides where we site new facilities, how we transport goods, and where we move material to and from. Our only path to sustainability is to move as much freight by rail as is logical in better coordination with trucks. Rebalancing our multimodal freight system will deliver cascading benefits to the broader economy and the environment. That requires rethinking supply chainsclear metrics, and inclusive dialogue.”

--Michael Sussman, President of OTNA
