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.”
Syllabi and a general overview and description of a series of four short courses given at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, MI, July, October 1998. Course aimed to educate audience on what processes and techniques would produce results when dealing with complexity. The document has written descriptions of each course, overview of areas of study, lists of references, study materials needed, and also study questions. See notes field for a list of the titles and…
Unfinished paper that asserts that "the lack of historical perspective . . . is contributing to dramatic failures of some of the new areas of engineering and especially of the computer software field.”
A feature article about John Warfield and his Institute at George Mason University that describes his ideas and activities.
This is a rough collection of notes/correspondence/talk outline, etc. for a presentation made before a meeting of GMU's Deans and Directors on 7 December 1988. Includes handouts that discuss proposal for a new type of university, which he labels an "Interactive University." Proposed university encompasses new type of high education that emphasizes “understanding, designing and managing large and complex systems.”
Examines institutions of higher learning in the United States, and how they might evolve. The ideal of the “Great University” is used as a focus toward which various changes and interactions might be directed. An extensive literature search reveals the best available models for measuring education quality, although no one of them is found to be totally adequate for the ideal concept of quality in education. The term `institutional mechanics' is used to represent the…
Provides suggestions for solving two related problems 1) How to introduce any innovation into an established school system, and 2) How to carry out interdisciplinary education in schools, with the descriptions of the types of technical assistance needed to carry out a continuing educational program. Both of these problems and the approach to institutionalization have been incorporated in a concept of a Regional Environmental Learning System (RELS). The article builds on the reference materials available…
Instruction manual for radio (VHF transceiver) built by Wilcox Electric under Warfield's supervision. The manual is divided into seven separately numbered segments: I) Introduction; II) Installation; III) Operation; IV) Theory of Operation; V) Preventive and Corrective Maintenance; VI) Parts list; VII) Diagrams. Includes photographs of the radio.
Written in summer of 1956 when Warfield held a summer-employment position at the Ramo-Wooldridge offices located in Los Angeles, California. See also, “Invariants in System Design,” a paper written in tandem.

Discussion of the intellectual history and philosophical underpinning of the work being carried on Warfield's Institute. Presets the status of his goals for study and use of a template based on his Domain of Science Model to develop several new integrative sciences. The four proposed sciences are: Conceptual science, Generic Design science, System science and Organization science. Gives title and brief descriptions of seventeen recent IASIS publications.
