The Evans School of Public Affairs presents Joaquin Herranz, Jr. on "The Logic Model as a Tool for Developing a Network Performance Measurement System."
Abstract
Performance measurement and networked collaboration are each important trends in public management. Research and practice on these two issues have largely proceeded on separate tracks. Logic models offer an intuitive way to clarify how network coordinators can manage for performance, by making explicit the hypothesized and actual relationships between indicators of network processes and outcomes. Hatry’s (2006) logic model concept (i.e., a chart of activities, outputs, intermediate and end outcomes) as used a heuristic tool for developing a network performance measurement system. Following a review of the logic model literature in the context of network performance measurement, this article provides an illustrative example of a network logic model. This paper presents the advantages and limitations of a logic model for networked and collaborative initiatives. The paper discusses the implications of the logic model approach as a tool for developing, managing, and assessing the performance outcomes of collaborative and networked initiatives.
