A few years ago Eli Goldratt told me that his son Rami had discovered and fixed some significant problems with the original format of the TOC tool called the Transition Tree. He said that Rami had written an article but it wasn't freely available yet because it was written in what is known as RamiEnglish (English not being his first language).
The edited version of the paper has been lurking out there for the last 5 years or so and I've finally got a copy from a TOC guru friend.
It's neithor the easiest. nor the hardest, paper to read but I am glad I read it. After a good bit of thought and study, I have started using the format - more or less - using tables in ms word, rather than the tree structure, just because I can read my typing but not my writing.
For the record, this paper can be freely distributed. See the first page: "Rami is giving you his permission to present this write-up to everybody that you think will benefit."
