Mapping the main perceived symptoms or undesirable effects (UDEs), and then any secondary (or perhaps hidden) symptoms that can feed into them enables us to understand true cause and effect much better. The principle it addresses is that many of the challenges that we see in front of us may actually be symptoms of a fewer number of root causes and identifying and tackling these is essential to direct effort in the most effective way. The latter of-course relates to the idea that a small number of constraints can limit a system from optimising against specific goals.Ĭurrent Reality Trees are a way of mapping out many apparent problems but also seeing the relationship between them, important cause and effect relationships, and finding the root causes which may actually be creating multiple symptoms in a system. ![]() Every so often when working with a client on a project there will be a tricky problem that we need to understand better and one of the best tools that I've found to do this is to visualise the challenge using a current reality tree, which is one of the thinking processes in the Theory of Constraints (created by Eliyahu Goldratt). ![]()
