"ISKME is at the forefront of the new research that is coming out about effective methods of adapting knowledge management techniques for schools. They have a deep understanding of the field and what works in real-world environments that they can use to help school districts build the capacity to better serve students, faculty, and the public."

"Institutions are under pressure at the state and federal level to meet new accountability requirements, reduce duplication in programs, and demonstrate student learning. ISKME provides valuable research, tools, and expertise to help college officials make wise decisions about allocating resources, planning for the future, and building sound infrastructure. The timing couldn't be better for this kind of work."

"[The research of Dr. Petrides] has been an extremely beneficial way of holding up a mirror to ourselves, allowing us to more closely examine the obstacles and best practices within our culture of learning. It has been fascinating to learn more about how we continue to do our jobs despite the fact that we have been operating with a less than desirable information support system. From a national perspective, there is a growing need for research that will allow community colleges to assess the effectiveness of their programs and better understand their impact on students."

Leo Chavez, Former Chancellor
Foothill De Anza Community College District

"As a think tank committed to applied research, ISKME is at the center of research and practice in a rapidly growing field of data and information management. Coupled with a firm grasp of the nature of schools as organizations and the work of adults within them, ISKME is well positioned to help education institutions increase their capacity for knowledge-based decision making."
