Honoring Our Legacy, Embracing Our Future
After more than two decades of pioneering work in organizational climate research, we are excited to announce that Rankin Climate is now Interwoven Insights.
This evolution honors the foundational vision of Dr. Sue Rankin while positioning our organization for expanded impact across diverse research contexts and transformational change efforts. While Interwoven Insights continues its recognized excellence in general and Title IX climate assessments, we now offer a broader portfolio of research and assessment services designed to meet diverse organizational goals. This includes:
- General, Title IX, Title VI, and Specialized Climate Studies
- Market Research
- Alumni Engagement Research
- Organizational Culture Analysis
- Custom Research Design
What is Interwoven Insights?
Our new name reflects the core philosophy that has guided our work since 2001, and the foundational research that led to Dr. Sue Rankin’s Transformational Tapestry Model (Rankin & Reason, 2008): an understanding that individual experiences, institutional structures, and broader societal forces are intricately interwoven, and meaningful and sustainable organizational change requires attention to all of these interconnected elements. Interwoven Insights pays direct homage to the Transformational Tapestry Model, a framework that has informed every climate assessment, research study, and consulting engagement we’ve undertaken.
Just as a tapestry is created through the careful weaving together of individual threads into a cohesive whole, organizational transformation occurs when we understand how personal experiences, institutional policies, and cultural contexts intersect and influence one another.
Our Expanded Vision
While our core mission remains unchanged, Interwoven Insights represents our commitment to:
- Deeper Analysis. Moving beyond surface-level metrics to understand the complex, interconnected factors that shape organizational and individual experiences.
- Broader Impact. Expanding our work to serve organizations across a variety of goals.
- Sustained Transformation. Partnering with organizations for the long term, supporting not just assessment but ongoing implementation, evaluation, and adaptation.
- Innovative Approaches. Developing new methodologies and frameworks that respond to emerging challenges in equity, inclusion, and organizational change.
The Threads That Connect Us
As we step into this new chapter, certain threads remain constant:
- Excellence. Rigorous, methodologically sound research that stands up to scrutiny.
- Integrity. Honest findings and recommendations, even when they’re difficult to hear.
- Partnership. Collaborative relationships built on trust and mutual commitment.
- Transformation. Moving beyond awareness to sustainable structural and cultural change.
- Innovation. Continuously evolving our approaches to meet emerging needs.
- Justice. Working toward systems and structures that support dignity and belonging for all.
