3. Strategic activity mapping
You can map your current or planned activities back onto your outcomes logic model to work out how comprehensive it is in targeting outcomes.
In top screenshot above, we have listed a set of activities which could be undertaken. One of these is highlighted - X. We have mapped this back onto the outcomes logic model such that if we look at the lower screenshot of the model we can see the steps and outcomes that the activity influences. These are marked by an inverted V which stands for 'is the result of'. So these steps and outcomes are 'the result of' the activity - X - highlighted on the list of activities in the top screenshot.
This is very powerful, particularly in a situation where you have a number of projects (activities) undertaken by a number of organizations which have had their objectives specified in different ways. Building a common outcomes logic model and then mapping the projects (activities) back onto the outcomes logic model in this way provides a common outcomes set for the set of projects and allows much better coordination and strategic thinking about where these may or may not be duplication, or where more effort is needed.
