Structural Thinking: Organizing Complexity Through Disciplined Activity

This paper describes the Interactive Management process as a powerful approach to in-depth learning about a complex situation, which then provides a well-supported foundation for an organized attack to bring a complex situation under control. Scott Staley's contribution of data and experiences in the Ford Motor Company Workshops are used as empirical examples of the use of the Interactive Management methodologies. The published paper had misprints, so Warfield redid the paper. See, “Structural Thinking: Organizing Complexity Through Disciplined Activity: Reprint.”
