I'd be interested in hearing from experienced RM professionals
who, at some time late in their careers, threw  caution to the wind and
accepted a new, challenging position with an established company that
had absolutely no records management program in place, not even the
slightest.  In other words, for those of you who have experienced going
from an organized, structured, "well-oiled machine" type of RM
environment to one where you were hired to develop an RM program from
scratch, I'd like to hear what you consider to be the greatest joys and
hells associated with this kind of change, including, but not limited to
(1) if given the opportunity, would you ever do it again, and why? and
(2) your best kernels of advice on what to do and what not to do in such
a situation.   I'll keep responses confidential and summarize for the
list, if there is enough interest.  Thanks very much for your input.
