Theory of Change Diagram

Are you looking to clarify and visualize the path from activities to outcomes for your project or organization? I specialize in helping teams create clear and actionable Theory of Change (ToC) diagrams that outline the process of achieving long-term goals. How it works:
  1. Initial Discussion Session: In the first 1.5-hour session, we dive deep into the specifics of your project or initiative. Together, we identify key activities, inputs, outputs, outcomes, and goals. During this session, I help facilitate the conversation to map out the initial draft of your Theory of Change.
  2. Refinement Session: In the second 1.5-hour session, we revisit and refine the draft ToC. We review the logic, clarify connections between the elements, and ensure that the diagram aligns with your team’s vision and objectives. This session focuses on making adjustments, finalizing the details, and enhancing the clarity of the diagram.
  3. Final ToC Diagram: Based on the outcomes of our sessions, I deliver a polished, professional Theory of Change diagram. This visual tool clearly outlines the pathway to achieving your desired outcomes and serves as a guide for decision-making, monitoring, and evaluation.
Benefits of a Theory of Change Diagram:
  • Clear Roadmap: Provides a visual representation of how your activities and resources lead to specific outcomes, helping teams stay aligned and focused.
  • Improved Planning: The ToC helps you identify key milestones, risks, and assumptions, improving the overall project planning process.
  • Better Communication: A well-designed ToC diagram serves as a communication tool for stakeholders, showing the logic behind your approach and increasing buy-in.
  • Enhanced Evaluation: The ToC creates a framework for measuring progress and success, making it easier to track outcomes and make adjustments when needed.
Whether you’re designing a new program, refining an existing one, or seeking alignment within your team, I’ll guide you through the process of creating a Theory of Change that clarifies your path to success.

"I work in a complex and challenging consulting field, often obscured by abstruse jargon. For a long time, I struggled with the challenge of simplifying, popularizing, and pitching it. Sara made processes and methods clear and accessible with a disconcerting visual fluidity. Since then, I have been able to communicate much more effectively in my presentations and business proposals."
