Intervention Logic/ Program Logic: Toward Good Practice
Karen J. Baehler · ANU Press eBooks · 2007
Although it is often possible to assess policy separately from service delivery, good final outcomes for citizens invariably depend on smart policies being effectively implemented.It makes sense, therefore, to look for ways of improving performance in both realms -policy and service delivery -simultaneously and collaboratively.A contrivance known as intervention logic or program logic is being recognised in Australasia as one such tool for bridging the policy-implementation divide and thereby contributing to organisational change and renewal.Logic models work by introducing a single framework for designing, managing, and evaluating programs and projects.This chapter will briefly describe that single framework and discuss recent applications of logic modelling in New Zealand's public sector, including lessons learned about good and bad practice in logic modelling.
