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.

Information Insights and the Cold Climate Housing Research Center are partnering to conduct a survey of Fairbanks residents on how they plan to cope with high energy costs this winter.

The survey will be conducted in two parts, an initial survey this fall to gather information about how residents are planning to handle the rising cost of energy, and a follow-up survey in the spring to find out how higher energy costs actually impacted residents.
