2.9: Intermediary Outcomes

In addition to having any number of outcomes leading from initial results to the final, ultimate, end results, there can also be feedback flows, or spirals, back and forth over the course of attaining the outcome.

In the following depiction, for example, the first outcome is that participants increase their knowledge about logic models but as they begin to use logic models, they see the complexity of logic models and want to learn more.

There are 9 sequential outcomes. Participants increase their knowledge about logic models. The participants gain skill in being able to create useful logic models. Then participants increase confidence in their ability to use logic models. Then participants use logic models in program planning and evaluation. Then participants see the complexity of logic models. The participants seek to improve their logic model practice. Then participants increase their knowledge about logic models. The participants use what they learn. And then program design improves and evaluations are more useful.
