Talk that used the metaphors of oxygen and nitrogen as two domains of air, and of oxygen and hydrogen as two domains of water in an attempt to describe the distinctions between complexity and normalcy. Presented at INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) meeting, Marriott Airport Hotel, Tampa, Florida, 2 February 2003.

A list of the transparencies, many of which were used during presentation at the Third Annual Industrial & Systems Engineering Conference, ITESM, Chihuahua Branch Campus, 21 March 1996. The transparencies were later printed as an IASIS monograph, organized by the following SEVEN topics: Philosophy; Attributes of Complexity and its Relationship with Poor productivity in Organizations; Measuring complexity; Portraying/Describing Complexity; Behavior; Case Information/Examples; Educational Change .

Work, on environmental or educational studies. Presented at Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development, 21-23 July 1980, San Francisco, California.

This is a 63 page final report on a consulting contract for one of the earliest Interactive Management workshops, in 1980 in Saudi Arabia.

This Volume 2 of a 6-volume set of reference reports written for the U.S. Office of Environmental Education. Explains development of a design for a Regional Environmental Learning System.

Options Field and Options Profile method are both described.

A One-Page Description of the Seven Consensus Methodologies.

The condensed files in this CIM archive were on the GMU mainframe VAX at the time that Center for Interactive Management was operating at George Mason University. The files were copied off the GMU computer and given to John Warfield in 1991 after the Center had closed. The archive is two main subdivisions, CIM1 and CIM2. One of them is the ISM software files, and the other is CIM office business, such as correspondence and…

Section II of the proposal has an accurate description of the origins of Interactive Management and includes resumes of Warfield and four men working as his assistants at Institute for Advanced Study in the Integrative Sciences (IASIS) in 1987.

A collection of the documents which Warfield prepared for a Picture-Tel (two-way) Presentation to ITESM Virtual University class of Professor Robert Palacios in Mexico City. ITESM Virtual University has produced a videotape of this Picture-tel class. See, "Modulacion Estructural de Sistemas.” There is not yet a digitized version available for download, but the cassette video is available at Fenwick Library's Warfield Special Collection, in Box 96 Folder 2.
