Catalog (2256)
Focuses on the topic of the "virtual conspiracy" in which numerous forces act against the initiation and continuation of systems science programs (though without formal agreement or even, necessarily, intent, but with equivalent intensity as though there were formal agreement or intent) with unfortunate consequences. This was planned to be the third in a series of four articles on systems science in higher education. See also, “Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education: Overview,”…
Presents a twelve-point design for establishing what he feels would be a successful systems science program in a university. This was planned to be the fourth in a series of four articles on systems science in higher education. See also, “Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education: Overview,” “Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education II: Thematic Vulnerability,” and “Obstacles to Systems Science Programs in Higher Education III: Virtual Conspiracies.”

A series of 41 emails discussing the possibility of archiving Warfield’s papers along with a one-page document that reconstructs the final decision on where to house the papers.
Letters discussing the death of one of Warfield’s old friends, along with an article that listed ISM as “theoretical” and that did not utilize Warfield’s work.
An Interactive Management Workshop took place 8-10 August 2007 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sponsored by Parker-Hannifin Corporation. Includes emails to/from Warfield, Ben Broome, Steve Krane, Jack Ring, Scott Staley, Phil Ernzen, Carmen Moreno. See notes field for further details on the origin of the Workshop.

These are files on a compact disk loaded with teaching and lecturing aids, mostly PowerPoint slides but also articles on economics and lists and indexes of topics and keywords, which Warfield prepared before he departed for China to give a series of lectures. He carried the disk with him on the trip to use as reference during lectures.
Drawing originally used as to accompany a paper that discusses how humans might tackle and solve the "gigantic mess" problems of society which are currently beyond human endeavor and often beyond human intellectual grasp. Image would later be used frequently at the Center for Interactive Management and appeared in Warfield’s A Science of Generic Design.
Warfield gave a one-week series of lectures at the Business School, University of Hull, from 2 July to 6 July 2001. The series was part of a 4-week summer school provided by University of Hull Business School to students from ITESM in Mexico. Warfield used slide presentations from his PowerPoint series titled "Managing the Unmanageable (MTU)."
A one page summary of the talk that covers topics including complexity metrics and the definition of the term "complexity.” Presented at the School of Business, University of Hull, England, 27 June 2001.
