==Simplified explanation==

This process treats multiple problems - say, in complex situations or system-wide crises - as symptoms arising from a few ultimate root causes. It describes, in a simple visual drawing, the main perceived symptoms (along with secondary/hidden ones that lead up to the perceived symptom(s)) of a problem scenario and ultimately the apparent root cause(s) or core conflict. The benefit of doingbuilding thisa Current Reality Tree is that it is much easier to identify the connections or dependencies between theseperceived symptoms (effects) and root causes (core problem/conflicts). Thus, focusleaders canmay bethen placedfocus on the bits, the few core problems, which would cause the biggest positive changesystemic changes, if tackled.
