The Logic Model Guidebook: Better Strategies for Great Results

by Lisa Wyatt Knowlton

The Logic Model Guidebook offers clear, step-by-step support for creating logic models and the modeling process in a range of contexts. Lisa Wyatt Knowlton and Cynthia C. Phillips describe the structures, processes, and language of logic models as a robust tool to improve the design, development, and implementation of program and organization change efforts. The text is enhanced by numerous visual learning guides (sample models, checklists, exercises, worksheets) and many new case examples. The authors provide students, practitioners, and beginning researchers with practical support to develop and improve models that reflect knowledge, practice, and beliefs. The Guidebook offers a range of new applied examples. The text includes logic models for evaluation, discusses archetypes, and explores display and meaning. In an important contribution to programs and organizations, it emphasizes quality by raising issues like plausibility, feasibility, and strategic choices in model creation.

Really useful practical guide to building policy logic models. Immensely helpful way to express policy intent, results, and intended changes for visual learners.

Very good reference book. I'm using some if the language in it for a panel I'm leading soon.

[Roxanne Singsaas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very informational and it provides plenty of examples. It uses the phrase "to be put simply" and "simply put" often throughout the book.

I think this is a great guidebook, it gets to the point quickly about developing logic models and other supporting documents. The book also has good reflection questions to test your knowledge; as well as, a list of resources to dive deeper on each chapter.
