Steve,
Mmmm, I think I will be doing well to get people using Lyx, without
introducing more alien programs to them !
But I agree about the usefulness of something like VimOutliner for ad
hoc stuff. I have used Emacs with org.mode for this, and I take on
board the issues of ad hoc stuff in Lyx.

In that case, make a standard layout file for your company before
you start.
Think of all the paragraph and character styles needed, and put
them in. Be
sure to put in things like Note, Tip, Warning, Caution, and a
generic type of
thing where the writer inserts the title of the box in the boxtitle
environment, and then the box contents in the boxcontents style.
Teach them
how to do outlines in LyX. I like to have a "story" environment
which I use
for short narrative stories.
Pre-think all possible writing situations, and the environments and
character
styles those situations make necessary. If you give them a good enough
layout, and a document explaining what to use when, most LyX
writing, even ad
hoc stuff, can become easy.
That's exactly what I did with Word, and is my plan for Lyx, but I
don't have the same level of expertise in Lyx that I did in Word,
when I did it for Word.
