Logic Models and SMART GOMB DRAFT
Logic Model • What is a Logic Model? • Information system that enables an analyst or other non-expert to understand a program’s components and establish a measurable result • Logic Models help identify what is important to measure • Logic Models help the analyst visualize the flow of the program from the start to the end result GOMB DRAFT
Logic Models Clarify: • What goes into a program • Who its customers are • What services it provides • What immediate products or outputs it produces • What outcomes it is supposed to generate GOMB DRAFT
Key definitions for Logic Models and Performance Metrics • Inputs: The time, money, personnel and resources that are necessary in order to allow a program to function to its full potential • Activity Measure: Information or data used to quantify the delivery of state services. • Example: The number of people served or the number of cases closed GOMB DRAFT
Definitions continued • Outputs: The results of program activity • Answers questions such as Have test scores improved? or Have road traffic accidents decreased? • Outcomes: Reliable and valid translation of activity/output measures that allows observers to see if a program has met its goal • Answers questions such Are the citizens of this state healthier than last year? or Are the citizens of this state safer than last year? GOMB DRAFT

Collecting Data • Agencies will report metric data on a quarterly basis • Agencies will enter the data into a web-based system administered by GOMB GOMB DRAFT
Evaluating Data • The data collected will be evaluated against the goals and sub-goals using the SMART system STATEFEDERAL Strategic Program Management Assessment Accountability Rating Reporting Tool Tool GOMB DRAFT
Evaluating Data • SMART is a questionnaire completed by GOMB analysts • Analysts will utilize the data collected during the course of the year to answer the yes/no questions related to the program • The questions are weighted GOMB DRAFT
Evaluating Data • Once the scores are tallied, the program is given a rating in a range from not effective to effective GOMB DRAFT
Utilizing Data To Allocate Resources • SMART evaluations, and other policy considerations, will help determine the resources allocated in the next fiscal year GOMB DRAFT
