Note the the content of program logic models is often more specific than models for organizations. This level of specificity is often quite useful for planners. Definitions of Basic Terms Logic models typically depict the inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes associated with an organization and its processes or products. These are materials that the organization or department takes in and then processes to produce the results desired by the organization. Types of inputs are people, money, equipment, facilities, supplies, people's ideas, people's time, etc.
Inputs can also be major forces that influence the organization or products.
For example, the inputs to a product that is bought by trainer to teach learners, for example, training materials, teachers, classrooms, funding, paper and pencils, etc. Various laws and regulations effect how the product may be applied, for example, safety regulations, Equal Opportunity Employment guidelines, etc. Processes are used by the organization or program to manipulate and arrange items to produce the results desired by the organization. Processes can range from putting a piece of paper on a desk to manufacturing a space shuttle. However, logic models are usually only concerned with the major recurring processes associated with producing the results desired by the organization.
