A reworked example of an interactive Management Workshop. See also, 1) "An Example IM Workshop Plan (1992 Draft)" 2) "An Example IM Workshop Plan (IM Workshop Prototype Plan)"

A version of Warfield’s Resume that he donated to GMU Special Collections and Archives in 2004.

A special book critique of A Science of Generic Design written by Anita Taylor, a profession in the George Mason University Communication Department. Includes penciled notations and post-it notes.

A set of Lecture Notes plus 72 PowerPoint slides. The presentation was a summary of the theory of the Basic Triad of All Science. In it, Warfield asserts that all science is composed of three parts: the human being, thought and language. He proceeds to cover the Domain of Science Model, neutral science, group pathologies and the Work Program of Complexity. Presented at 2-6 August 2002 joint meeting of International Society of Systems Science &…

Critique of the Integrative Studies movement, particularly its linguistic and intellectual focus. Proposes remedies in a section "Basic Propositions for Change in Academia" and states "The most essential product of integrative studies should be a structured (qualitative) system model.”

This paper advocates the use of interpretive structural models to identify and represent value decisions in educational system design, based on a consistent set of values from the educational philosophy of Ralph Barton Perry. Presented at IEEE-SMC International Conference on Cybernetics and Society, Systems Man and Cybernetics Society, Hyatt-Regency Cambridge Hotel, Boston, MA, 7-9 October 1980.

Deals with the duties and responsibilities of the Interactive Management Workshop "Broker" and his/her relationships with the Facilitator and the Executive of the organization. This article was used as a class handout by Warfield in 1990 when he was working with the DSMC classes. Many parts of this article are repeated and elaborated in Chapter 5 of the Handbook of Interactive Management which was published 4 years later.

Building on Carvallo's analysis of the Systems Research Movement, Warfield develops a definition for the term conceptual science. Proceeds to explore its intrinsic links with all of science, through the process of systems science. Provides images of science and conceptual science and contends that systems science can be constructed in terms of linkages in these images. See also, "Science and Systems Science a Technological Perspective" which was written as background for panel presentation.

Used as a handout for a seminar talk for NASA engineers. In the talk, Warfield began with a survey of the origins of the field of "Systems Engineering" described through his own experiences and intellectual development. He then discussed the work of several well-known systems people and organizations, as well as his own use and development of systems ideas in 1960's. Described work at Battelle, UVA, in Mexico and at Ford Motor Company. Concluded by…

Brief beginnings of a paper never finished. The theme is the idea of standardizing and qualifying the most effective aspects of group work. There is an abstract, followed by three short subsections titled: Inherent Conditions of Group Work, Optional Conditions of Group Work and Assumptions About the Group's Task.

Briefly describes the early development of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM)

Given 17-19 August 1998, this second in a series of four courses offered for the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, MI, July-October, 1998. Contain the course outline with lists of reading and reference materials. Also included is a list with descriptive notes of 24 men described as Thought Leaders in the development of the science of complexity.
