These are four obstacles to clear thinking. Reality is complex Reality is complex and you need complex solutions to solve problems. Eli Goldratt defined the Principle of Inherit Simplicity. This means that reality is inheritly simple. Because of this simplicity, conflicts can be resolved using the following steps. Clarify the conflict Surface the assumptions Challenge the wrong assumptions There is a relation with shadow work. In shadow work you should also keep conflicts in your mind and try to merge them.

The Theory of Constraints talks a lot about conflicts. Conflicts are what keeps us from becoming better. On part to becoming better at TOC is to know when you are in a conflict. There are certain words that can help you to notice a conflict. TOC often talks about the large conflicts. These are the conflicts that most people have a problem with.

The Current Reality Tree is a sufficiency tree shows (part of) the current situation of a system. It is used to model how causes and effects lead to certain undesidered effects(UDE).

Removing one of the causes will perhaps lessen the effect, but not remove it completely.

The conflict Goal tree This is the goal tree, for some of the features we “need”.
