About WhitworthKee
An organizational change management, research, and evaluation firm focused on measurable outcomes
When data creates a bridge to finding the path forward, and ongoing support and partnership generates funding resources for critical programs, so much is possible. WhitworthKee is proof. Since inception, we have helped partners chart their next steps with confidence, equipping them to make data-driven decisions that produce desired outcomes for their organizations, programs, and services.
The process of partnership begins with understanding the context of programs, organizations, and populations. Afterward, we customize data collection and analysis methods to yield richer insights. This approach helps partners achieve meaningful, measurable change, set direction for the future, and maintain a pulse on what is working and areas for opportunity.
Meet a research company with learning at its core
WhitworthKee was founded by Dr. Chad Kee in 2016.
From the beginning, WhitworthKee’s mission has been to support educational organizations in improving the professional and personal experiences of students, faculty, and staff. As a growing organizational change management, evaluation, and research company, WhitworthKee has expanded our reach beyond educational organizations to provide planning, research, analysis, and insights for multiple markets, including federal, state, and local government; nonprofit organizations and NGOs; and corporations. As a result, our mission grew to include a range or organizational types beyond education. This expanded reach builds on our expertise and delivers on Dr. Kee’s original goal, providing organizations clarity, focus, and direction to improve outcomes for all.

The WhitworthKee team consists of highly skilled, multidisciplinary experts with a variety of experiences and backgrounds. Our researchers hold advanced degrees in public health, comparative medicine and integrative biology, community psychology, sociology, education, and organizational development. They also bring experience in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research approaches.
