A one-page contents list and nothing more, lists a few titles and references, etc.
A study of policymaking, and human behavior as it relates to the process.
Pages 34-41 of Warfield’s unpublished report titled "Institutional Mechanics and the Great University." See also, “The Wandwaver Solution: Creating the Great University.”
Mathematics of Modeling began as a syllabus for Warfield’s first Mathematics of Modeling short course, taught in Monterrey, Mexico in July 1992.
George Friedman introduced a significant contribution to the field of mathematical modeling with his "Constraint Theory." In 1995, Warfield wrote an index for Friedman's 1967 dissertation, in an effort to assist graduate students and others in understanding Constraint Theory, and in bringing Friedman's fundamental ideas into wider use. The 29 page index is topical, and lists 686 terms as used by Friedman in the dissertation.
Instructions on how to prepare another slow-speed copy from the original ten cassettes. The instructions give legends for the title pages, and time codes for stopping and starting the slow-speed copy to make it correspond to the printed “Index to Slow Speed Videotapes.”
A good way to get an idea of what takes place during an Interactive Management workshop. It is an index composed by Rose Warfield for videotapes from first Ford Interactive Management workshop, held 14-16 April 1992. Keyed to the time codes printed on the videotape, the index lists many of the activities of the session, such as NGT and ISM, and also a few paragraphs describing what is happening. The names of all the participants…
Unfinished critique of modern educational practices in general and the university system in particular. Sees many of the problems stemming from communication problems and poor infrastructure. See also companion piece “Precepts of Good Education/Management: How Good Practice is Violated.”
Argues that certain banking interests are acting on self-interest along and manipulating the price of gold in attempt to keep it as low as possible. In turn, this manipulation results in the impoverishing of gold producing nations in Africa. Information from the Gold Anti-trust Action Committee (GATA), a coalition of gold producers working to stop the manipulation, is the basis for the article.
Five Abstracts written in preparation for seminar talks during academic year 1986-1987. Warfield's "Influence Seminars" continued for two years 1986-1988, but many of the records were lost and we have only these 5 abstracts for which there are no videotapes and a separate set of 7 videotapes for which there are no documents. Warfield described these lectures as being "[a]imed at identifying semi-forgotten influences from the past on our present ways of thinking and acting.”…
Incomplete document. Possibly part of one of the four BRIMS guides. BRIMS is an acronym for “Bill Rodger’s Interactive Management Software” and used to differentiate it from the more academic version developed by Warfield. See, for example, “BRIMS Application Bulletin #02: Supporting Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM)” and “BRIMS Application Bulletin #01: Supporting the Nominal Group Technique (NGT).”
These are PowerPoint slides prepared for a videotaped lecture filmed 16 June 2000. For the video, see “Managing the Unmanageable: Infrastructure for the Work Program of Complexity.” This is the ninth in a series of 14 lectures called “Managing the Unmanageable.”
