NOTE: MTU2000 IS AN OBSOLETE COLLECTION, AND HAS BEEN ARCHIVED. IT IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION ONLINE because of possible confusion with a more recent slide collection to which John gave the name "MTU 2007 Managing the Unmanageable PowerPoint Slide Collection (CD)."
There are gaps in this numbered collection of files. This series of lectures is incomplete because not all the planned lectures were written nor was any filming done for them. All that John got finished was the Title pages in WordPerfect, later converted to Powerpoint, for the Lectures numbered 6, 8, 11 and 12. There are fourteen titles, and John even prepared fourteen title pages, but he was unable to complete the four unfinished videotapes. He was always hoping to finish the series after retirement, but never did so because of limited funds, limited video studios in the small towns in which he lived after retirement, as well as his own limited time because of his book writing, publishing and speaking engagements after retirement. He commented at one time that the ideas and thoughts for the four unfinished lectures did not evaporate, that he had written, lectured and published on these subjects after retirement, but he never consolidated those last four titles into the lecture series as he had planned. So what we have for four lectures is only the TITLE PAGES, not any videotape, nor any PowerPoint slides other than the title pages.
Here is the list of John's first set of PowerPoints, called the "MTU2000 Slides"
All were created in the Year 2000 or before the Year 2000.
MTU No.1 Process Leadership in Organizations
MTU No. 2 Interactive Management Process Leaders in Organizations
MTU No. 3 Thought Leaders on Behavioral Pathologies
MTU No. 4 The Mathematics of Structure
MTU No. 5 Discovery in Organizations ( "Metrics of Complexity")
MTU No. 6 Resolution of Complexity in Organizations (not filmed)
MTU No. 7 Thought Leaders on Second Order Thought
MTU No. 8 Managerial Behavior in the Face of Complexity (not filmed)
MTU No. 9 Infrastructure for the Work Program of Complexity
MTU No. 10 Why Johnny Can't Design Software (not filmed)
MTU No. 11 How to Think About Complexity (not filmed)
MTU No. 12 Foucault and Vickers, Theoretician and Pragmatist: Complementary Views (not filmed)
MTU No. 13 Managerial Self-Delusion via Killer Assumptions
MTU No. 14 Structuring Discursivity for the Domain of Complexity
Three additional slide shows found a little later had original dates of 1999 and July 2001, which might have been in the planning for future films:
MTU No. 20 (Friedman & Harary theorems)
MTU No. 25 Understanding Complexity
MTU No. 26 Interactive management
Beginning in the year 2001, John Warfield began switching from WordPerfect transparencies to Microsoft Powerpoint slides. His MTU2000 slides were augmented and edited in various ways and entirely replaced by a new set of PowerPoint slides known as MTUbytheNumbers, which he continued to expand for several years. Finally, in the year 2007 John collected and organized all of MTUbytheNumbers, in a new Slide Collection titled "MTU 2007 Managing the Unmanageable PowerPoint Slide Collection (CD)" which was donated to GMU Libraries.
Viewers will see that on the PowerPoint slides and also in the video lectures John asks viewers to read his book A STRUCTURE BASED SCIENCE OF COMPLEXITY. Please note that THERE IS NO BOOK TITLED STRUCTURE BASED SCIENCE OF COMPLEXITY. Due to publishing delays with Kluwer Publishing John eventually changed the title to UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY, and published the manuscript himself as the first book produced by Warfield's AJAR Publishing Company, in 2003. However, the book manuscript remained essentially the same with just the title changed.
