A brief introduction TO THE LOGIC MAPPING PROCESS

Expose ideas early to robust, structured discussion

Smart Logic Mapping is dedicated to ensuring the highest value projects, programs and policies across the community and government have the best chance of successfully being funded whilst also preparing them to deliver demonstrable, meaningful outcomes. This can only be achieved through exposing ideas early to robust, structured discussion.

Jeremy established the process for investment logic mapping back in 2005-2006 and it subsequently became central to government policy development and budget decision making across Victoria and New Zealand.

Jeremy has facilitated over 2,000 Investment Logic Mapping workshops across all portfolio areas with a specific interested in transport, health care and environmental protection.

INVESTMENT LOGIC MAPPING services

Our approach to Investment Logic Mapping remains true to the original vision as outlined over 20 years ago. The deployment of a lean facilitated series of between 1-4 workshops with each workshop requiring ONLY 2 hour followed by a 48 hour review process. Central to this approach is delivering Investment Logic Mapping workshops that respect participants time whilst ensuring the ILM value is delivered – specifically consensus, clarity and confidence around the argument being presented.

INVESTMENT LOGIC MAPPING GOALS

Investment Logic Mapping aims to achieve four key goals:

Ensure that business cases and grant applications are written for only those initiatives for which there is consensus that the effort and cost is justified.

Create a logical, structured argument in favour of an initiative that will then inform the business case or grant application. Make sure your story has a clear start, middle and end and can be read as a coherent narrative.

Provide a means by which demonstrable and meaningful benefits can be defined and agreed upon.

Present the rationale for a project, program or policy proposal in an easily comprehendible and compelling manner. The process has a focus on using plain English.
