You are asking a group of mostly consultants, who are highly paid for their knowledge, to give free advice to a consultant. You have got to be kidding.

Seriously, if you really need to get this done quickly, hire someone who knows what they are doing. If not, start reading. You should be ready in a month or two to know enough to at least know what questions to ask this group.
