Research, Analysis & Planning
Information Insights has extensive experience in research, analysis and planning, including:
- Economic and General Feasibility Analysis
- Economic Impact Analysis
- Policy Research and Analysis
- Health Planning
- Socio-economic Data Mapping
Information Insights’ experienced staff work with clients to identify research methodology that is most useful for each situation, including combinations of:
- Performing in-depth literature reviews
- Finding how others are dealing with similar challenges
- Identifying best practice models from Alaska and around the country
- Conducting key informant interviews, focus groups, and surveys
- Collecting data
We work closely with our clients to develop comprehensive plans and methodologies, produce projects that provide useful information, ensure that all our findings and recommendations are solidly based, and discuss work plan modifications as needed. We understand that a project’s scope and needs may change as information is acquired through project activities. Information Insights has developed a reputation for working with contracting agencies to deliver the best possible product, which sometimes means rethinking project activities and changing directions. This also means that contracting agencies often receive more than they envisioned in the RFP outline.
The company is equipped to work on projects that require access to sensitive information. We understand the need to uphold client confidentiality for certain types of data, and have experience working on projects for Alaska clients with such needs.
Jana’s professionalism and leadership complimented by the abilities of Information Insights’ fine staff were instrumental in completing this difficult project.

Ellen Ganley presenting at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce
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.

We announced this survey at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 during a Chamber Spotlight on Information Insights.

Study Released: Role of Oil and Gas in Alaska’s Economy
June 30th, 2008
The Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) released a study today on the role of oil and gas in Alaska’s economy. Information Insights and the McDowell Group collaborated on the research, which used 2007 industry data to update a study the two firms published in 2001. The 2008 report expands on the earlier work quantifying the economic role of the oil and gas industry on specific regions within the state including the Municipality of Anchorage, FNSB, KPB, Mat-Su Borough, North Slope Borough, and the Valdez region, and examining direct, indirect and induced economic effects of the industry in these regions and communities. Brian Rogers presented the study findings at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce’s Monday Forum. An overview of the results appears on the AOGA website. Download the full report (large file).
