Available as paper hard copy in Fenwick Library's Warfield Special Collection C0016, Box 81 Folder 12 and Box 91 Folder 21. Sent to GMU 27 September 2007.

In September 2007 we sent Special Collections a folder full of a miscellaneous collection, some correspondence with Jack Ring, some PowerPoint printouts of slides used during the presentation, some brochures describing the lecture. Jack Ring was an officer of CAZC - INCOSE (Central Arizona Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering) who admired Warfield's work and recruited Warfield as a speaker for an INCOSE seminar session, in Phoenix. There are two folders in Fenwick Library holding materials from this conference, the other folder is in Box 91, Folder 21. Warfield hoped for a full week workshop which he felt necessary if anyone hoped to learn how to do the IM work, but finally settled on a 1 or 2 day event which was to be a sort of overview with possible follow-up of a longer workshop, plus an opportunity to sell a few copies of his newly published book Understanding Complexity. The meeting turned out poorly because attendees apparently felt they were going to learn a new management system in 1 day and go away to start using it. Warfield was frustrated and morose after the whole thing. However INCOSE must have still admired Warfield's work because later on he was invited to give several other talks for them in various parts of the country, and in 2007 INCOSE gave him their Pioneer Award. There was a 44 page booklet given as an audience handout for this talk. The booklet titled MANAGING THE UNMANAGEABLE: OVERVIEW AND REFERENCES, was given Fenwick Library Special Collections Department on our 12 July 2004 and I believe is the item listed in GMU Finding Aid in Box 91 Folder 21.
