Our Approach

We know that information is everywhere, but insight is not. We approach projects by forming teams of highly skilled and professional staff working in an open office environment that allows us to draw on our collective expertise in:

  • Alaska public policy
  • public health
  • housing
  • education
  • energy policy
  • economics
  • public finance
  • process facilitation
  • community development
  • organizational development

One of our strengths is our breadth of experience with different organizations. We have completed over 450 engagements in twelve years of consulting for local, state and tribal governments, Alaska Native organizations, and a wide cross section of nonprofit and for-profit companies throughout the state.

Our experience allows us to design a project or process to reach the client’s unique objectives. We never use a cookie cutter solution. A high proportion of our clients return to us because of this ability and commitment.

Being a family friendly workplace is a key component of our corporate culture. In 2005, we were awarded a “Family Friendly Workplace Award” by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Early Childhood Development Commission.

If you have questions, please contact us.

Brian Rogers began his two-year interim appointment as Chancellor of the University of Alaska Fairbanks today with a message on the Chancellor’s web page and a lemonade social for faculty, staff and students on the lawn of the Chancellor’s residence on campus. Brian and Sherry will move into the Chancellor’s residence later this month. Information Insights’ staff wish Brian the best in this new endeavor. Our loss is UAF’s gain.
