Abstracts for lectures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14, nine of which were made into videos in year 2000. See notes field for a list of the titles.

Prepared as a precis for the EFL essay competition, this short chronology is a summary of the development of Interpretive Structural Modeling, and of the theoretical background supporting its efficient utilization, from 1968-1990. Written in March, 1990, it was used as the basis for the long essay titled `Generic Planning: Research results and Applications'.

One of two workshops given in South Africa on Interactive Management. Presented at International Systems Thinking Conference and Workshops, University of Capetown, 7 November 1997. For the other workshop, see “Managing Complexity.”

This is “Condensed Patterns Relevant to the Science of Complexity (1997)” under a different name. Presented at International Systems Thinking Conference and Workshops, University of Capetown, 4-7 November 1997. See also, “Condensed Patterns Relevant to the Science of Complexity (Structure-Based School), Generic Design Science, and Interactive Management (1998).”

Slides to accompany lecture titled "Managerial Self-Delusion via Killer Assumptions," which was planned by Warfield to be Number 13 of an overall series of 14 videotapes to be called "Managing the Unmanageable." For a video of the accompanying lecture, click here.

Materials related to a seminar/workshop presented at ITESM (Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey), Monterrey, Mexico, 11-15 December 1989. Includes a lot of travel itinerary sheets and correspondence, plus a draft outline of the course, with lists of a large number of transparencies and Warfield papers which were taken to the seminar for use and distribution to the attendees. The manuscript notes also include class worksheets written by the participants.

This document is missing. Would like to find a copy of it. I believe it is a newsletter article. Printed under this title in Pennsylvania State University Engineering Review, December 1953. p. 68.

Part 2. Designed to accompany talk at Defense Systems Management College, Ft. Belvoir, VA on 16 August 1996. This document is unfinished, there are 6 pages of tables designed for the paper, but only the first three tables are filled in with descriptors. The table design is four columns, with column headings of Type of Control, Phase 1- Planning; Phase 2 - Workshop; and Phase 3 - Implementation. In the vertical Type of Control column are the descriptors (Controls) for each Phase, they are named Enabling, Preventing, Efficiency and Product Quality. See also Part 1 titled: "Quality Control for Interactive Management Applications" which is the talk outline used with this table in the 1996 presentation for DSMC.

This document is Appendix 1 of a larger manuscript titled "National Medal of Technology: 1994-1995 Nomination" submitted by H. Alberts. Publications by Warfield are divided into topical groups, and within each of the topical groups the titles are listed chronologically covering the years 1957 - 1994 The groups are: A. Publications Related to Interpretive Structural Modeling B. Publications Related to Interactive Management C. Publications Related to the Science of Generic Design D. Publications Primarily on Complexity.

This is unfinished. A WIP paper. Seven Patterns are named in a contents list. Four or five of them have descriptive paragraphs, other paragraphs are not yet written, but tables to use with this paper have been inserted: Categories Field: Essays on Complexity; Inclusion Structure for Four Areas of Complexity; Categories of Laws of Complexity (Behaviorally based, Media based, Mathematically based).
