What Outcomes and Results Modeling Can Do for Your Organization (1 page tip sheet) PDF
One page 'tip sheet' which describes the ways in which a well constructed program logic (outcomes model), once developed, can be used for strategic planning, prioritization, evidence-based practice, working out different or activities are believed to contribute to joint outcomes, getting staff outcomes focused, performance measurement and tracking progress, evaluation planning and outcomes-focused contracting. Hand this tip sheet out to the group with which you are building your program logic model and they will get a clear idea of how their organization can leverage off the work they are doing in building a well constructed outcomes model. This approach is set out in more detail in the article here.
Easy Outcomes Workbook (detailed 'hands-on' workbook) PDF
A full workbook showing you the process for facilitating a group when drawing a program logic model (outcomes model) (e.g. what size the group should be etc.). It then leads you through all of the stages in developing and using such a model for strategic planning, prioritization, monitoring and performance management, evaluation, evidence-based practice and outcomes-focused contracting and delegation. The whole Easy Outcomes system of which this workbook is part is set out at EasyOutcomes.org.
Pre-existing Program Outcomes Models (Program Logic Models) You Can 'Borrow' to Get Going (OutcomesModels.org)
A set of outcomes models (program logics) which have already been developed for a number of programs in a number of areas. You can click through them in their web page versions and if if like any of them and if they are relevant to you, you can immediately print them off as PDFs. If you have DoView outcomes software installed, you can immediately download the DoView file of the model and start amending it to reflect what is happening in your program.
