Amen. I would go so far as to say that in most cases, it is the
*only* impetus there will ever be, along with others such as
new government regulations, a major customer conducting
a quality audit of your company and hitting you with an action
item that must be satisfied in order to keep them or a top-down
directive that the company pass an ISO certification. If you
find yourself in an interview situation where documenting
company process is included as part of your prospective duties
and such an outside impetus is *not* looming over the hiring
company's head, my advice would be to extricate yourself
from the discussion as quickly as possible and run for the
hills unless you actually enjoy banging your head against brick
walls and then being criticized for leaving bloodstains on the
masonry.

Good eye! And so true. One of the great impetuses for formally
documenting processes is that the company is in negotiations for
something like Lou has mentioned.
