An
Outcomes Network
Figure 2: An Outcomes Network (Organizational Depth = 4)

This diagram shows four agencies, each maintaining independent
programs:
- Agency A maintains Program A-1 and Program A-n.
- Agency B maintains Program B1.
- Agency C maintains Program C-1 and Program C-n.
- Agency D maintains Program D-1 and Program D-n.
Each agency's programs' output produces three distinct levels of
outcomes, which have various interconnected relationships, and which merge
at each level to eventually form one outcome:
- We begin with the output of the agencies' programs.
- Level one are the short-term outcomes.
- Level two are the long-term outcomes.
- Level three are the system outcomes.
Each time the outcomes merge to form a new level, the result is grouped
and given a title.
- The merger between outputs that produces the Short-Term Outcomes is
called the Organization.
- The merger between short-term outcomes that produces the long-term
outcomes is called the Performance Partnership.
- The merger between long-term outcomes that produces the Performance
Partnership is called the Community Outcomes Institute.
