System Change
System change is about helping organizations work more efficiently and effectively with available human and other resources, reevaluating processes as well as structures. It encompasses:
- Organizational & management review
- Organizational development
- System re-engineering
Information Insights specializes in helping organizations develop system-changing approaches to needs and problems. Fair assessment of opportunities to improve both personnel processes and efficiency of work is a primary component of systems change. To facilitate this, Information Insights conducts an independent review and analysis of a client’s organizational structure and recommends changes. By properly managing resources, organizations can use costly resources efficiently, optimize use of scarce resources, and develop and retain more of their skilled staff.
Our team has a broad range of government, private sector, and consulting expertise, offering clients the depth to go beyond number-crunching reports to produce policy-driven action plans.
No review and analysis of an organization’s structure and operations would be complete without a concurrent analysis of revenue enhancements. Recognizing that various revenue enhancements have different impacts, we can recommend methods for adapting a business model to changing conditions while continuing to do business and provide necessary services.
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.
Brian and his staff of professionals were very open minded and helpful to our needs. Their varied expertise allowed for the project to be accomplished with little difficulty and was on time and within budget.
– Dennis O. Packer, Chief Administrative Officer, North Slope Borough

Morningside Hospital blog earns Alaska history award
January 11th, 2012
The Lost Alaskans: Morningside Hospital History Project has received the Alaska Historical Society‘s 2011 Pathfinder Award. According to the Society’s website:
The Pathfinder Award is given to an individual or several individuals who have indexed or prepared guides to Alaska historical material that has not been accessible. The 2011 Pathfinder award goes to the Lost Alaskans: Morningside Hospital History Project, and its primary researchers Ellen Ganley, Meg Greene, Karen Perdue, Robin Renfroe, Niejse Steinkruger, Sally Mead, Deborah Smith, Marylou Elton, and Vivian Hamilton. This group has worked to uncover the documentary record of mental health care during the years in which Alaskans were institutionalized out of state at Morningside Hospital. Their work not only helps reveal the past, but has had an impact on the lives of living family members seeking to understand what happened to their relatives.
