Learning doesn’t start with data.

It starts with clear thinking, logical alignment, and the right questions.

The Chamberlin/Dunn Program Logic to Learning process helps organizations get clear about how their work is actually intended to create change. Through structured, collaborative steps, we uncover and test the assumptions, rationales, and boundaries that shape a program’s design. The result is shared understanding, sharper focus, and a practical plan for learning and measurement that reflects the work organizations are truly doing.

Step 1

Program THeory Mapping

Does the logic flow?

Gather + review background
Facilitate program theory mapping session
Finalize + check logic

Step 2

Metrics Mapping

Why + what are you measuring?

Prioritize key questions
Define indicators
Identify data sources + gaps

Step 3

Action Plan

How will you proceed?

Prioritize data gaps to close
Determine timelines + responsibilities
Commit to action

For when organizations:

Feel pressure to measure outcomes they don’t control

Operate with unspoken or misaligned assumptions

Collect too much of the wrong data

Are planning a new program or strategic shift

Consider evaluation, funding, or scaling an initiative

Need to get everyone on the same page

Program Logic to Learning can stand alone or serve as a foundation for deeper evaluation and strategy projects.
