3a. Strategic priorities
Once you've drawn your outcomes model you can use it for strategic planning. You may prefer to do this step later when you've collected more monitoring and evaluation information.
• The top levels of your model will show you your vision and mission.
• You can work out what your priorities are in the next planning period and show them on your model.
In the screenshot above (click on the small magnifying glass icon), we are using the model to work out that our overall vision is 'strong social networks and a good social life' and our mission is to 'make guests and host happy'. We can show priorities by coloring them more darkly on the model and in this screenshot we see that areas where there've been problems in the past have been prioritized for more attention in the future.
