1 年You focus your distinction on product. On this I think you maybe being too black and white and, as Madeleine says, the lograme is too often mid-used. But my main point is on process-the method used to develop the product. If you compare that used by the former GTZ - the one I love and use - you can not but arrive at the conclusion it’s pretty much the same folk use to develop a ToC. By this I mean: problem diagnosis, stakeholder analysis, analysis of options (ie, pathways) and assumptions. To be crude, the operative question is thus less on the difference between the two, rather why is there a need for both, when one should do? Thanks for your usually thought provoking posts.
