Discusses the planning of an Interactive Management workshop, including consideration of situation room design, choice of equipment, personnel, and triggering questions. Composed for class at Defense Systems Management College.

A series of internal memos written between approximately 1983 and 1988 that deal with the facilitation of Interactive Management Workshops. Includes Warfield’s instructions to Alexander Christakis on areas of facilitation that need improvement, a review of Christakis’ activities as supervisor to other facilitator trainees and Warfield’s handwritten notes.

An annual report for Grant No. ENG75-17609, submitted to the Systems Theory and Applications Program, Engineering Division, National Science Foundation. This is the 1st of two reports differing in content but having the same title. The purpose of the NSF grant was to provide a survey of the uses and applications of ISM. See also, “Extensions of Interpretive Structural Modeling: A Final Report to the National Science Foundation, 2.”

The final report for Grant No. ENG75-17609, submitted to the National Science Foundation Division of Grants & Contracts, Post-Award Branch. This is the 2nd of two reports differing in content but having the same title. This report, prepared for the use of persons already knowledgeable about ISM but unaware of the various applications of the process, contains a bibliography of papers on ISM applications and theory. See also, “Extensions of Interpretive Structural Modeling: A Report to the National Science Foundation.”

Surveys research, study and applications needed to bring the new tool of Interpretive Structural Modeling into its full potential. Suggestions include more and better computer programs, training of session leaders, development of the theory of cycles, development of computerized graphical displays and increased help for the use of the process by the non-mathematical user. Presented at Seventh Annual Pittsburgh Conference on Modeling & Simulation, University of Pittsburgh, 26- 28 April 1976.

Not written by Warfield. May be notes or another author’s paper, possibly Walker Percy.

Manuscript written to accompany the videotape titled DEMO TAPE 1, which was a series of seven excerpts from videotaping of the Ford Product Information Management (PIM) workshop held 14-16 January 1994 in Dearborn, Michigan.

An excerpt from a CIM Workshop report, this is a set of 14 pages which comprise the table or diagram of a DARPA options field from an August 1987 Interactive Management Workshop.

A generic plan for an Interactive Management Workshop, using an example from workshop planning done for Ford Motor Company in 1992. See also, “An Example IM Workshop Plan (1992 Draft)” and “An Example IM Workshop Plan (Restored).”

Excerpts from the book manuscript for “A Structure-Based Science of Complexity” used as a handout. Presented at 22 October 1999 meeting of Washington Evolutionary Systems Society (WESS), Washington, D.C.
