A 58 page manual, distributed a month or more in advance, written for Ford engineers drawn from several different departments to serve as participants in an Interactive Management Workshop on redesigning and integrating multiple separate software systems into a single system for all parts of Ford Motor Company. The workshop held 11-14 January, 1994, in Rouge Office Bldg, came to be known as the PIMS Corporate Strategy Workshop. Legend for Popup: We have no digitized…
An outline list for a slide talk that was never given.
Printouts from a PowerPoint presentation before the V International Congress of Industrial Engineering held 17-20 April 2002 at ITESM University, Campus Chihuahua, Mexico. For the outline of the talk, see “Design of Organizations-Outline of Chihuahua Talk.”
A miscellaneous collection of documents relating to a presentation at the Arizona Club, Phoenix, AZ, organized by the Phoenix Chapter of INCOSE, on the subject of “Managing the Unmanageable: Overview and References.” Contains some correspondence and some PowerPoint printouts of slides used during the presentation, and some brochures describing the lecture.
Unsorted material relating to Warfield’s assistance with the writing of a budget proposal that summarized the results for three SMT Interactive Management Workshops for Ford Motor Company. Includes records of phone calls as well as workshop planning papers.
A working draft of a talk that discusses the efficacy of Interactive Management as a tool to provide executives with information on available options. Using Ford Motor Company as a case study, it shows that IM was able to quickly and efficiently collect information through structured group input and develop options and present the choices to enable logical decision making. Drafted for a presentation as a panel discussion before Association for Integrative Studies (AIS) Annual…
Talk outline and printouts of PowerPoint Slides used in an informal four part presentation open to faculty, students and the public at the School of Public Policy, GMU. Topics included 1) a quote from Geoffrey Vickers, 2) a review of how Scott Staley used Interactive Management to get a studied response to a high-level executive policy decision involving a potential 3-billion dollar investment at Ford, which was accepted by the executive as the correct decision,…
A fax message to Kingsley P. Haynes, Dean of the School of Public Policy at GMU that lists Warfield's presentations in year 2003, and his Papers, Monographs Books in years 2003-2004. On another page is a categorized listing of PowerPoint presentations which Warfield has available for future talks or seminars.
A paper by another author that Warfield believed contrasted to his own methods. The paper discusses the Association for Integrative Studies effort to develop appropriate criteria of accreditation for interdisciplinary general education.
Printouts from Warfield's first website, Ajarmail.com, which is no longer in operation. AJAR Publishing Company was formed in February 2002 to publish Understanding Complexity: Thought and Behavior and the website was used to advertise and sell the book.
A table that has appeared in multiple articles including “Universal Priors, Draft #1” and “Structural Thinking: Organizing Complexity Through Disciplined Activity.” The table has six vertical columns, captioned: Definitive, Comparative, Influence, Temporal, Spatial and Mathematical. In each column are suggested terms to use in creating a relational statement.
A letter or memo Warfield wrote to himself that lists his plans to advance the sale of his most recent book.
Draft 13 of a paper that lays out the rationale for the two-domain concept in higher education, and explains why the Horizons College should be appended to the university. Furthermore, it discusses the two-domain concept’s role in teaching design and offering a doctorate with emphasis on design projects involving complexity and application of the Work Program of Complexity.
This Overview article was planned by Warfield to be the first of a series aimed at the longer run possibility of getting systems science worked into higher education. To view full copyrighted abstract written in Warfield's own words please use https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250893350_Obstacles_to_systems_science_programs_in_higher_education_overview. For the other articles in the series, see “Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education II: Thematic Vulnerability,” ”Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education III: Virtual Conspiracies,” and “Obstacles to Systems…
This is the alphabetized list of citations for his own works which Warfield frequently uses in his writings. The list has publications as far back as 1967, but most of the names are relevant to works he produced in the past 10 years, I would guess.

Deals with the weakness of Systems Science programs in the colleges and universities, by first looking at the history of science itself going back through the ages, then looking at the more recent status of science and only then placing systems science in this general picture. This was planned to be the second in a series of four articles on systems science in higher education. See also, “Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education:…
