Logic Models
A picture of how your organisation does its work
Intended Results (problem and desired outcome)
– longer term impact – problem to be addressed (7-10 years)
– outcomes – changes in behaviour/knowledge/skills/status (1-3 years)
– outputs – direct results of activities – type/levels/targets of services
Planned Work
– activities required to get there –
processes/tools/events/technology/actions
• theory & assumptions underpinning their selection
– resources required – human/financial/organisational/community
Communicate direction of travel
Allows stakeholders try on an idea for size
Monitor programme delivery
Evaluate programme delivery
Plan required resources
WK Kellogg Foundation (2004)
Resources Activities Outputs Short and Long
term outcomes
Impact
We expect that if completed these
activities will lead to the following
changes in 7-10 years
Impacts
• organisational, community &/or
system level changes expected to
result
• might include improved
conditions, increased capacity,
and/or changes in the policy
arena.
Step 1: Identify the desired outcome

intervention design…
It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The
Time

Impact
We expect that if completed
these activities will lead to the
following changes in 7-10
years
Impacts
• organisational, community

expected to result
• might include improved
conditions, increased
capacity, and/or changes in
the policy arena.
Improved community relations
Step 1: Identify the desired outcome

Resources Activities Outputs Short and Long term
outcomes
Impact
We expect that if
completed or on-going
these activities will lead
to the following
changes in 1-3 then 4-
6 years
Changes in:
• attitudes,
behaviours,
knowledge, skills,
status, or level of
functioning
expected to result
• most often
expressed at an
individual level.
Step 2: What outcomes would act as an intermediate

Reduction in anti-social
behaviour
WK Kellogg Foundation (2004)
Resources Activities Outputs Short and Long
term outcomes
Impact
We expect that once completed or
underway these activities will produce the
following evidence of service delivery
Described in terms of the size and/or scope
of the services and products delivered or
produced by the program.
They indicate if a program was delivered to
the intended audiences at the intended
“dose.
Step 3: What is direct result of activity

Reduced on-street drinking
WK Kellogg Foundation (2004)
Resources Activities Outputs Short and
Long
term
outcomes
Impact
In order to address our problem we will
conduct the following activities
The processes, techniques, tools,
events, technology, and actions of the
planned program.
May include:
products – promotional materials and
educational curricula
services – education and training
infrastructure – structure, relationships,
and capacity used to bring about the
desired results.
Step 4: What will we do?

Controlled ‘party’
WK Kellogg Foundation (2004)
Resources Activities Outputs Short and Long
term outcomes
Impact
In order to accomplish our set
of activities we will need the
following
Resources and/or barriers,
which potentially enable or limit
program effectiveness.
Enabling factors:
funding, collaborating partners,
staff and volunteers, time,
facilities, equipment, and
supplies.
Limiting risk factors:
attitudes, lack of resources,
policies, laws, regulations, and
geography
Step 5: What resources will be required?
Future Challenges: Are Logic Models Too
Linear for Events in Complex Systems?
Inputs too outcomes focused?
Logic models simplify complex realities
