Visual outcomes models provide a tool to meet each of these criteria as a way of communicating government intentions is discussed below.
\subsection{Easy to access and understand}
Ease of access is crucial if government is to actually communicate with the public. Good intentions, unless effectively communicated in accessible formats
At the end of the day, it does not matter if a government produces all the documentation in the world but it is not able to be easily accessed by those it wish to use it. remain exactly as that - just good intentions. At the current time we are in the middle of
a revolution in the way in which an information
of all types is presented. communication revolution. Central to this revolution is increased use of visualization as a mode of presentation [References]. This is reflected in the old adage that 'a picture is worth a thousand
words'. words' (REF QLD wetlands work?). This trend is obvious when one looks at the way in which information is now presented on the web where there is now extensive use of visualization. [references]
The traditional approach to communicating government's planned outcomes is based on
a two-step process, an assumed information delivery process. This is that text-based documents will be
produced, people will read them accessed, read, understood, synthesised and
subsequently they will come to construct a mental model
is constructed of what it is that government is trying to do. This approach relies of people being able to read
lengthy lengthy, often convoluted and abstract documents and extract the
essense essence of what is being said. The approach used in visual outcomes modeling is to simplify
this two-step the information delivery process.
The concept is for This can occur by those
people involved in producing the documentation to
immediately attempt to simultaneously produce a visual model which can function as a type of external mental model for their audience.
If this can be done successfully with a visual outcomes modeling approach, then it is potentially a much more efficient way of people accessing what it is that government wants to do.
