Every company should have this. My day-to-day job is helping companies role out their brand guidelines and we have seen the benefits of having guidelines available. Putting aside the value of having a consistent brand, we have seen big increases in productivity and employee satisfaction just because a). they aren't starting from scratch each time and b). there are templates or assets available to help them out. Add the ability for employees to share their work and experience with each other and you can really get some work done. Even if you are using vendors to help out with your design, it's a great way to lower their time spent (and your bill) by more rapidly getting them up to speed.
