StrategicTRATEGIC DesignESIGN INin GovernmentOVERNMENT:: A Challenge for Policy Education

Argues that colleges and universities should draw from systems research to improve the design education of future political leaders.



GMU does not have this paper listed in any of its catalog lists as far as I can tell ABSTRACT written by JOHNWARFIELD: When the Founding Fathers created the U. S. Constitution, they were engaged in what today would be called strategic design of an organization: a human political system. Although the organizational demands on government have since intensified dramatically in terms of topical complexity, government still functions in the same kind of environment as in revolutionary days, without help from the kind of modernized strategic design education one would hope for from policy programs in higher education. Because of developments in systems research in the past four decades, blueprints are now available upon which policy programs can draw to enhance the design education of future political leaders. Keywords: policy design, systems, education, science, academic resources, applications.

===================== In June 2011 Rose searched the GMU Library HOLDINGS and could find no record for this paper. It must have slipped through the cracks. Maybe JohnWarfield never actually sent it, maybe Robert Vay overlooked it while processing the others. Anyway, as far as I can tell GMU does not have it. R.W., 6/26/2011 I did find correspondence indicating he had submitted it in 2008 to Review of Policy Research, a Georgetown Univ journal but had not received any response and had then planned to ship it to Robert Vay at Special Collections & Archives, Fenwick Library, GMU..
