Introduction
Jaye A. H. Lapachet, M.L.I.S. is a knowledge manager and was, for many years, a consultant.
Prior to consulting I was a professional law librarian. I have worked in technology companies, the pharmaceutical industry, law firms and various types of libraries since 1987. I was an information management consultant for 8 years. I have set up databases and workflow systems in numerous information centers and am an expert at identifying methods of streamlining workflow. These projects have included a variety of database projects, technology implementation, training programs and department reorganizations. I enjoy metadata management and love to work on portals. I have written for internal company sites, a variety of publications, and speak at conferences. My strengths are knowledge management, out of the box thinking, metadata management and idea generation. I feel that the identification of information assets, followed by the organization and successful reuse of those information assets is critical to the ongoing success and daily efficiency of an organization as whole.
I am an APQC certified knowledge manager.
Specialties: Knowledge management, systems analysis, metadata management, workflow analysis, idea generation, out of the box thinking to generate solutions
