A one page document that lists the titles which Warfield had planned to get filmed in 2000 and shows the teaching sequence for persons wishing to use the videos for a series of classroom lectures. Note that his preferred sequence does not match the video numbers and that the planned video series was not completed. See notes field for a list of those that were filmed.
Video segments from a 17 April 1999 session of “Resolving Complexity in Organizations” a class Warfield taught at George Mason University. Warfield provides an overview of the planning stages of an Interactive Management session and then helps students design a scope statement. Warfield also discusses two documents with the students.: “Floor Plan & Cost Estimate for Situation Room” and “An Example IM Workshop Plan.”
Video Segments: Class lecture and video of Ford Motor Company's first Interactive Management Session
Video clips from a course titled “Resolving Complexity in Organizations” that Warfield taught at George Mason University during the 1999 Spring Semester. In the clip Prof. Warfield uses a video from an Interactive Management (IM) Session with Ford Motor Company to show his students what a typical IM Session entails. Note that the Finding Aid lists the class as meeting on 19 February 1999, which appears incorrect. The class shown is likely from 6 February…
This is second of two Video clips from a 1992 Ford Motor Company Interactive Management Workshop. Two videos were shown by Warfield on the same date, for “Resolving Complexity in Organizations” his 1999 Spring Semester class. See also: “Class lecture and video of Ford Motor Company's first Interactive Management Session (Part 2).”See notes field for a list of other video clips from this semester.
Video clips from a course titled “Resolving Complexity in Organizations” that Warfield taught at George Mason University during the 1999 Spring Semester. In it Warfield cites the vagueness of economists as evidence that language alone is often insufficient when it comes to dealing with large amounts of complexity. One way of addressing this problem is, he suggests, to use graphical representations.See also, “Methodologies Incorporated into Interactive Management, February 20, 1999,” another clip from the same…
Video clips from a course titled “Resolving Complexity in Organizations” that Warfield taught at George Mason University during the 1999 Spring Semester. This clip is from the fourth session which met on 20 February 1999. It shows Warfield responding to a question regarding whether he would be willing to incorporate any new methodologies into Interactive Management. After explaining the seven different methods used in Interactive Management (IM), Warfield concludes that, barring the development of new…
Transcription of a lecture on the implications of complexity presented at the Program on Peacekeeping Policy Workshop on Religious Considerations of Peace Operations (RCPO), 27-28 April 1999 at Old Law School Building, George Mason University, Arlington, VA.
Paper that discusses complexity in organizations. Presented to NASA Systems Engineering Short Course, Wallops Island, VA, 5 February 1997.
A summary of larger manual entitled “Patterns and Behavior.” Lists a "minimum set of key propositions" basic to working with complexity. Provides for each "proposition" an identification of its basic concepts and a table of pertinent references for further study. The "propositions" are: Language, Structure, Thought, Science, Applications of Science, Organizations, Modeling and Process. Provided to attendees at short course taught at the Johnson Center, GMU, 12-16 January 1998.
Presentation given at AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science [MISSING LINK]) 1200 New York Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C., 13 May 1997. Includes transparencies used, statistical analysis of AAS group by training and government assignment during their fellowship, a pop quiz and a list of collected cells. See also, "Readings for Bureaucrats," which Warfield produced for this talk and provided as a handout.
Warfield designs a numerical measurement to designate complexity and usability of three computer languages (ADA, Pascal and ALGOL 60) and demonstrates the relative benefits of the three. Presented at 1987 IEEE International Conference on Systems Man and Cybernetics, 21-23 October in Alexandria, Virginia/Washington, D.C.
Semi-autobiographical description of Warfield’s research and the development of his Laws of Complexity. Recognizes Charles S. Peirce and other authors who influenced his approach to philosophy, science and social problem solving. Includes list of Warfield’s publications divided into nine categories: Applications, Education, Graphical Representations, Interactive Human Processes, Mathematics of Modeling, Organizations and Human Behavior, Philosophy, Books & Monographs and Bibliographies.
Discusses problems associated with the lack of attention paid to complexity. Suggests that advanced policy study is an appropriate arena in higher education within which attention to complexity is required. Human behavior, Warfield argues, must be changed if complexity is to be dealt with properly. Includes bibliographic presentation of his writings on Complexity.
Describes three new Laws Warfield added to his Laws of Complexity. They are, #18: the Law of Invisible, Vertical Coherence; #19 The Law of induced Groupthink; and #20: The Law of Small Displays.
One of three indexes for a syllabus entitled Mathematics of Modeling 92(MM92 course). Also one of a series of files associated with book Warfield hoped to write. See also, “The Index to Definitions.”

List of files for article entitled “Condensed Patterns Relevant to the Science of Complexity (Structure-Based School), Generic Design Science, and Interactive Management.” See also, PATTERNS-CELLS.
List of transparencies for article entitled “Condensed Patterns Relevant to the Science of Complexity (Structure-Based School), Generic Design Science, and Interactive Management.” See also, Comprehensive Patterns List-All.
A collection of tables, displaying names of people and organizations connected with Warfield's work. Includes an introductory summary and a topically arranged bibliography of relevant Warfield publications. Covers history of Interactive Management and notes scholars who influenced Warfield’s ideas.
Discusses the need for a socially responsible science and technology. Suggests the creation of a "Bureau of Standards" that could monitor developments in science and technology and ensure they meet agreed upon standards. Presented at Annual Meeting American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 23 February 1976, Boston, MA.
