Here is an example of a performance logic model specifically for welfare-to-work.  Mind you, this is not a complete depiction of all of the inputs, outputs, and outcomes involved, but rather provides an example of how it works when applied to a specific program.
Note the strategies or intermediate outcomes for achieving the end goals.  You see the attitudinal, behavioral, and conditional modifications necessary for reductions in total welfare benefits paid and the unemployment rate and an increase in the number of self-sufficient individuals.
To the left are the necessary inputs and outputs – training courses, program participants, child care and transportation options, and the necessary human and financial resources.
