I have been working for a large software company in a management role for close to 7 years, the on-going improvement that will increase the overall efficiency and effectiveness of everyone (apart from the element of leadership) is coming from process improvement. I definitely think you guys are on the right track, and hope you succeed in your venture!

If they're too boring or too dense, and end up not being read by anyone, they're worthless. Likewise, the operations manual should probably not be too heavy or too verbose to the point that it can't be read and referred to. I like the idea of using a wiki for these types of documents because of the versioning. I’ve been reading Joel on Software and he makes the point that specification documents should be read.
