Appendix to Conducting Collective Inquiry which was Volume 4 of A Sourcebook for Environmental Education. Part one contains a discussion of Interpretive Structural Modeling, the equipment used, strategies for obtaining equipment, a programmer's overview of the software package, a bibliography, documentation of algorithms, and DELTA charts. Part two contains a printout of the complete Fortran program.
Tables demonstrating the number of syllogisms in the JOPES Problematique. For a copy of the JOPES Problematique see, “A New Index of Complexity: The Aristotle Index.”
List of directions for facilitators/students which refers to the Behavior Outcomes Matrix as a starting point for constructing a new matrix, with discussion of how to fill in the cells.
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.
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. To view the full copyrighted abstract written in Warfield's own words please use http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4045074/#document-tabs. Presented at IEEE Conference on Decision & Control, 5-7 December 1973, San Diego, CA.
Reports possible methods for integrating environmental education into existing public school curricula. Proposes a technique called "piggy-backing" by which environmental education may be integrated into existing curricula with none or very little increase in teacher workloads and per pupil cost. Examples of integration include discussion for eighth-grade mathematics. Specific mathematics problem sets are described which deal with energy and environmental issues.

Unpublished manuscript. See also, “Contrasts: A Short course.”
Begins with discussion of the successes and failures and question marks of Warfield’s IM methodology. Includes a preliminary history of systems engineering listing his view of the good and bad things about system engineering. Proceeds to focus on the need to recognize of the difference between intellectual cultures, and how they are used to meet current problems. Presented at the Nov. 19 session of NASA Systems Requirements 4 (REQ4), a Short Course held at Holiday…
Concludes that by failing to correct systemic deficiencies, top managers of organizations prevent cybernetic principles from functioning. Therefore, they must take the full 85 percent of the burden for low quality that otherwise would blandly be attributed to the system. Presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cybernetics, 19-23 February 1986, Virginia Beach, VA.
Material related to the publication of A Science of Generic Design. Includes correspondence, signed releases, complete list of all permissions used, copies of most of the articles from which the borrowed material was taken, and a complete backup copy of the packet of permission materials which was mailed to Intersystems publishers in 1990.
