Action Planning
Rankin Climate is built on the belief that data is only powerful when it informs action. We partner with clients to translate assessment findings into concrete action plans that drive meaningful change in institutional climate.
Our action planning support includes multiple facilitated sessions over a period of up to six months, guiding your team through a strategic process:
- Alignment & Foundation We begin by connecting climate priorities to your institution’s strategic vision, mission, and values, ensuring that all action planning efforts are grounded in your organization’s core purpose and direction.
- Priority Setting & Goal Development Working directly with assessment findings, we help you identify key areas for growth, translate data into clear problem statements, and establish meaningful goals with corresponding short-, medium-, and long-term strategies for achieving your goals.
- Accountability & Measurement We support you in defining measurable indicators of success and creating structures and a clear accountability roadmap for ongoing monitoring and progress tracking.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Rollout Lastly, we facilitate member checking with key stakeholders to ensure sustainability and broad support for action plans and help you present the plan to your community.
