Set of 31 slides to accompany a talk as part of the “Great University” project at George Mason University. Includes “Greiner’s 5 Stages of Growth in Organizations.” Folder also contains Warfield’s typewritten version of the same slides.

A report written for a U. S. Dept. of Health, Education & Welfare contract. Presents a survey of previous Environmental Education strategies nationwide and advocates a new approach, which integrated ISM methodologies as a tool for environmental studies. Warfield introduces his RELS (Regional Environmental Learning System) concept as a model for how to think about developing environmental education through local initiative. Concludes with a review of methodologies suitable for implementing this concept.

Part of an unfinished project. Contains seven typewritten and two handwritten pages.

Appendix to report issued by Department of Defense, Washington, D.C. Report was culmination of a series of Interactive Management workshops sponsored by the Defense Systems Management College (DSMC), and conducted with assistance of George Mason University's Center for Interactive Management.

Five tables Warfield developed to provide a complete overview of all of his work. The tables are: Pattern 1: Chronology: Seven Milestones in the History of Thought; Pattern 2: Milestones in the Study of Human Behavior; Pattern 3: Chronology: The Work Program of Complexity; Pattern 4: Five Indexes of Complexity; Pattern 5: The Curriculum of Complexity. A sixth pattern, Colleagues of Inheritance, is not included. See also, “Condensed Patterns Relevant to the Science of Complexity…

Discusses the steps, approaches, and tools of the collective inquiry process posited by a Regional Environmental Learning System (RELS). Includes discussion of the charrette approach, AT&T/Battelle approach, and the Washington State approach. Tools for collective inquiry are described and field tests are discussed. References and four topical bibliographies are provided. An appendix presents a computer program for modeling technique proposed for use in collective inquiry. See also, “A Conceptual Basis For The Design Of A…

A one-week course developed for Larry Edwards.

Contains correspondence, syllabi, notes and other material related three-day worship on ISM and other Consensus Methodologies. Presented for Carl-Cranz-Gesellschaft of Heidelberg and Gesellschaft fur Mathematik und Datenverbeitung of Bonn, 26-28 April 1982, Bonn, West Germany. The full title is: "Softwareunterstutazung Fur Komplexe Planungs - Und Entscheidungsprozesse, Interpretive Structural Modeling."

A collection of handwritten notes on 5 sheets of ruled tablet paper, plus 20 typed pages plus 2 photocopied pages showing "Table 3" and "Table 4" from a previously published article.

A collection of 14 or 15 typed and handwritten notes divided into two or three groups.

Discussion of seven methodologies used for group design. They are: Brainwriting (Ideawriting), Nominal Group Technique (NGT), Delphi, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), Options Field Method, Options Profile Method, and Trade-off Analysis Method (TAM). Includes description, a DELTA chart, and a graphic. See “Consensus Methodologies.”

Part of the math needed for writing the software, this paper was written in the early seventies at the beginning of Warfield's exploration of the potency of Interpretive Structural Modeling.
