Blake,
What you may want is someone who can combine organizational development
skills, an understanding of LO's, and online facilitation skills.
You'd want the OD skills to get an independent assessment of your current
situation and to understand how to help the group move in a new, improved
direction. You'd want the LO understanding because that's the direction
you want to be heading.
You'd want the online skills to involve people in distributed groups
effectively. I've put part of my take on this in
http://facilitatedsystems.com/onlinefac.pdf.
If you have a person who combines those skills (or a combination of people
who combine them in some way), I believe you can make good progress
towards such a goal.
Regards,
Bill
