Some Lessons Learned from a Quarter of a Century of Research on Complexity

An intellectual autobiography of sorts, dealing with the time period from the late 1960's and concentrating on his development of the process of Interactive Management. Originally part of documents submitted as part of his nomination for the National Medal of Technology. See, National Medal of Technology: 1994-1995 Nomination.”

 

This report is a reprint of page 42 plus pages 58-81 (Appendix 2: Lessons Learned to be Shared) of the unpublished document: Nomination for the National Medal of Technology submitted by Henry C. Alberts to U.S. Secretary of Commerce in 1994 and 1995. In early 1994 Warfield was nominated for the National Medal of Technology. To accompany the nomination, he had to supply a lot of documentation, which he prepared in early 1994. When the U.S. Department of Commerce finally announced the prize winners, Warfield was not among them. But all of his documentation writings still remained. So he used excerpts from the official documentation and nomination papers to produce this report titled "Some Lessons Learned From A Quarter Century of Research on Complexity." It is an intellectual autobiography of sorts, dealing with the time period from the late 1960's and concentrating on his development of the process of Interactive Management. Warfield printed the report as an IASIS monograph, and distributed it to colleagues. Parts of this report were used in several of his later papers, notably the Laws of Complexity papers, and some of his teaching and workshop manuals printed in the next few years, such as Complexity and Drummers.
