Modulacion Estructural de Sistemas

This is a video based on a lecture titled "The Work Program of Complexity" which Warfield delivered by Picture-Tel (two-way broadcasting) to a college class in Mexico City in April 2000. Warfield's talk, in English, followed a class lecture by Dr. Roberto Palacios speaking in Spanish. Warfield’s talk includes overview of Interactive Management and a description of how it has been utilized in different situations.  There is not yet a digitized version available for download, but the cassette video is available at Fenwick Library's Warfield Special Collection, in Box 96 Folder 2. 

 

Warfield’s part of the PictureTel lecture took place at the George Washington University Television Studio in Washington, D.C. It was filmed using the process which the GW Television people called "Compressed Digital Video" or CVD. Documents showing a complete printout of all the slides prepared for the talk can be found in Warfield Special Collection Box 21, Folder 49. Television signals were transmitted from Washington, D. C. to a classroom at the ITESM Mexico City campus where the professor (Dr. Roberto Palacios) was teaching a class on structural modeling. With Fernando Peña of the ITESM Mexico Virtual University staff acting as coordinator, Virtual University and George Washington University studios synchronized the lecture, so that Dr. Palacios displayed Warfield's PowerPoint slides to the class from a computer in Mexico, as part of the presentation, and then switched to Warfield, speaking from the studio in Washington, D.C. The classroom session was broadcast live to all other ITESM campuses, in addition to the Mexico City campus. The timing was a little off, because Prof. Palacios talked so long at the beginning of the class session that Warfield was not able to complete the planned sequence of slides in the time that was left. Warfield thought that everything considered it was a good lecture nevertheless, with student interest. Part of the success of the presentation was that Warfield requested of Dr. Palacios that he show Warfield's new MANAGING THE UNMANAGEABLE video to his class first, at an earlier time, and then Warfield's Picture-Tel lecture could be a follow-up to the video. Warfield prepared all his slides for this class in WordPerfect and sent them to Mexico beforehand. Palacios had them all converted to PowerPoint, so that Warfield had to use the PowerPoint displays when giving the talk. Also, as part of his talk, Warfield displayed his photos of other IM people. He had just begun his collection of photos about then, and he had pictures of Roxana Cardenas, Scott Staley, Moses Ayiku, and Roy Smith, I think, by the time the PictureTel talk took place. It was an effective presentation partly because of the pictures showing the contrast of types of people doing IM work. ITESM Virtual University produced a video of the class session. A copy of the videotape was sent to Warfield in May 2000, with a request that ITESM Virtual University have rights to use it in future broadcasts. Warfield signed and returned the consent form to Laura E. Medina, Director of International Projects Department ITESM, sending it by FAX on 24 May 2000, from his George Mason University office. Photos used in this PictureTel lecture were used again in Warfield's Video "Interactive Management Process Leaders in Organizations"which is Lecture #2 in his series of MANAGING THE UNMANAGEABLE, videotaped in June 2000 at the same George Washington University studio. R.w. 5 Aug 2001.
