Business Model/ Business Plan and Logic Model Lecture 3

Today’s Topic Logic Models: Fairly Simple to Understand- but takes practice Important to achieve Mission: brief summary of activities, definition of value, goals and measures of success, and how you are innovative or adaptive (p44) Important to beat the odds: 80% of nonprofits fail in first 5 years. (p47)

Intro to Logic Models What is a Logic Model? a systematic and visual way to share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your program, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve. Kellogg Foundation 2004:3 Like a newspaper- wherever you are you can pick up a local newspaper and it may be unique but is intelligible- you know there is an editorial, local, international section, comics, advertisements, sports- you know how to read it. Logic models too may have different designs, but have the same basic parts. Arrows are the relationships- the knocking down of the dominos.

Logic Models and How to Create One This is you. Making a logic model helps make sure your dominos are in line. This is your program

The business model is “a blueprint for how you will create value” “It comes from the social sciences” (IV  DV) (Brooks p44-45)

Many logic models, begin with what community need you are addressing.

What is your community need? Lab 1 shows you how to document it. Simply make a chart out of raw or half baked data (or even cooked data if you need to) but make your own chart. Social Problem: an undesirable condition of the individual or the environment (York 2009, page 57) A 'need' is: A gap between what is and what should be (York 2008, 56)

Some examples of community need. What would you say this documents?

Now how will you solve it?

Logic Models come in many formats and styles

% of children entering Syracuse City Schools are not ready according to DIBELS assessments of pre- literacy skills Assets: The Say Yes initiative has been launched to provide a pipeline from k through college but children begin unprepared for kindergarten Needs: The community has to focus on preparing children to take advantage of the many resources we have from school age on Literature reviewed on Imagination library book programs shows favorable results The Community Foundation completed a 5 year read ahead imitative building literacy capacity of local childcares and literacy providers A coalition of stakeholders including learners, business, government, nonprofits and institutions of higher education have committed to the value of literacy for the community’s future prosperity Imagination Library book distribution program – one book a month to children from birth through age 5 – results demonstrated in literature Wrap around services and role modeling of reading as delivered by local service provider agencies Assume our community will respond as others have to the Imagination Library.

Now Let’s practice a logic model with Bonnie Clack! Use the following logic model.

Program Implementation Logic Model

Ch 4 talks about a business plan - we read a real business plan – notice it is basically CLAS Wolk Bonnie Clac Video by RWJ Foundation (6 min):

Long term outcomes or program impacts, follow from the benefits accrued though the intermediate outcomes. Tip: List out your outcomes them put them in chronological order.

What works for Children What Works (and Doesn't) Child Trends' What Works/LINKS database is a searchable database of over 700 social interventions for children. What Works includes descriptions of rigorously evaluated programs targeted at improving child or youth outcomes. Programs must have had at least one randomized, intent-to-treat evaluation (i.e., everyone was assigned by lottery to the treatment or experimental group and all were included in the analysis of impacts, whether or not they actually participated or were served). You can search the database by program population, outcome, approach, or a combination of these.

If you want to change to another program other than where you were assigned- you must do so by 1 week from today

Use the Class planning tool from Lab 2

To help you see the flow from identified community need to logic model and then to outcome data for assessment (and budget).

Information on customer needs is an essential resource to the program. Activities include all those action steps necessary to produce program outputs. Outputs are the products, goods and services provided to the program’s direct customers. For example, # of people served, number of workshops held, # who attended, # of convicts participating, # of books mailed, # of people enrolled

Trick of the Trade: Start with the End Goal You probably have many goals, but pick one to start with.
