Toluca-2000 Presentation

A series of 15 transparencies that were part of a planned lecture in Toluca, Mexico. Due to illness, the presentation was never made. See notes field for a list of the transparencies.



At least one and probably two lectures were scheduled for end of March, 2000 in Toluca, which was the semester we were planning to spend in Mexico. The Toluca talk was never given. Warfield and I both got terribly sick from flu or something. It grew into severe bronchitis especially for Warfield. We cut short the Mexico visit, returning to Annandale either in late January or mid February, I forget the dates exactly, but I am sure he never got to Toluca. However, I did find a WORKS IN PROGRESS note-binder in 2011 with complete set of transparencies for a Toluca lecture, and since they were saved in the note binder Warfield probably meant them to be saved as a good PowerPoint lecture of the future. He might have even put them onto PowerPoint slides already, I am not sure, but anyway I scanned all the transparencies (15 of them) to a single file and saved them in Jwpapers folder under Toluca-2000 presentation. I am dating the set of transparencies 2000, but Warfield actually prepared this lecture in Virginia in 1999 before we left for Mexico. Titles of the individual transparencies: Toluca Mexico Presentation ( a Contents list for the transparencies); Illustrating 2 Problematic Situations; Soil Stabilization Subsystem; Fundamental Structure Types; Functional Units Establish Criteria for Assessing Progress Toward Goals; A Cultural Basis Can be Simple (The IBM Basis for decades); Functional Units Set Goals, and Match to Culture; Some Goals of System Design; Organizational Leadership Defines the Culture; Status of Roles at Different Stages of Organizational Development; A View of Organizational Evolution (The Sisyphus Model); Decisions to be Made; Inventing Organization Management; Organization Management; Field Representation of Design Alternative (Options and Choices); Zwicky's Morphological Box (limited to 3 dimensions).
