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
- audience response facilitation
- community development
- organizational development
- IT analysis
- website design
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.

Sylvan Robb certified mediator
March 9th, 2010
Sylvan is a Senior Consultant with Information Insights. She specializes in survey design, statistical analysis, and qualitative analysis with a special interest in child welfare, substance abuse, and health issues. She recently completed a 40-hour course in mediation. As a certified mediator, she is now trained to structure and facilitate mediation processes which help parties present their issues, concerns and proposals in ways that get results and avoid or move them beyond impasses. The training, provided by Mares-Dixon and Associates of Colorado, also addressed effective communication skills for working in a highly emotional or toxic atmosphere, and covered ways to manage power issues and to structure sound, realistic, and mutually acceptable settlements. Congratulations Sylvan!
