The basic outline of a logic model is shown above and a blank, editable version is provided on the
following page. It should be completed by Guideline Groups in the following sequence of steps:
1. SituaonAnalysis
2. Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes
3. Acvies/Outputs
4. Inputs
5. MonitoringandEvaluaon
6. Evidence underpinning all aspects of the Logic Model

Outcomes inserted into a logic model can be clearly grouped by whether they are related to
implementaonoutcomes, service outcomes or client outcomes.
List any ancipated inputs and discuss any issues arising. If you are intending to work
in partnership, for example, what would you need to consider in terms of planning or
implementaon?
Work already done on the Hexagon Tool and outcomes can form the basis for development
of a logic model.
