Process Design & Strategic Planning
Information Insights offers a full range of public outreach and facilitation services from conducting small group meetings and strategic planning sessions to designing formal public input processes that meet all government requirements. We work independently and in partnership with a lead agency or contractor.
Our senior consultants are skilled facilitators who work to create a positive meeting atmosphere where a healthy and respectful exchange of ideas is the most likely outcome. Our support staff can handle all the
details of meeting logistics and promotion from securing a meeting venue and developing collateral materials to staffing the event itself to make sure everything runs smoothly, technology included.
We work frequently in rural and urban Alaska, facilitating large and small meetings, identifying stakeholders and opinion makers, and designing processes to engage the public that combine traditional and new outreach tools, including public information websites, handheld voting systems, online surveys, and social media.
Information Insights is a truly professional organization with a firm concept of Alaskan conditions and needs. Where many consultants… fail to recognize the differences of our various geographical regions, Information Insights clearly does. We were never asked to consider driving to Savoonga.

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.
