3)      Logic Model

The purpose of a logic model is to identify the causal linkages between the activities of a policy, program, or initiative, the outputs, and the achievement of its outcomes – to highlight the steps that would demonstrate progress towards the final goal, and to help determine where to focus measurement efforts (TBS, "Guide for the Development of Results-based Management and Accountability Frameworks", 2001).

The following diagram and text describe the GOL logic model, showing the relationship between work on gateways and integrated Web portals, services, infrastructure, and policies, and the overall objective of increased satisfaction with federal services while at the same time improving the operational efficiency of the Government of Canada (although specific cost savings targets have not been set).
