The backbone of most evidence-based nonprofit programs is a sound program logic model . Ideally, the program logic model shows the relationships between a community’s problems and issues that the organization has the capabilities to address; the required resources to address the problems; a set of goals and objectives, the activities in which the organization will engage and the desired results.
The strongest program models are usually developed by soliciting ideas from multiple stakeholders during a face-to-face brainstorming process. What happens when the group is not able to meet in person, or, if you would like a professional-looking flow chart to diagram the relationships?
We will have a product demonstration of the Dylomo platform. Dylomo is a new web-based tool that can be used to create interactive, online logic models. This tool was developed to create logic models that can represent the complex, dynamic nature of programs. Dylomo allows users to customise and change connections and highlight individual paths along the logic model, making the specific chains of logic clear.
Dylomo was created by Beth Snow, a Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) member and volunteer, and Nancy Snow, and was tested at the last CES conference in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada in June 2016, and was demonstrated at the Australasian Evaluation Society conference in Perth, Australia, 2016. Nancy Snow will conduct the demonstration.
