I agree with the above recommendation.

I have read John Cook's blog for some time and think he might be a good fit as a consultant for bringing you up to speed and reviewing your current teams' work.

I suspect it would be worth your time to get a consultant like him to come in for a week, review all the work going on in your org, and maybe lay out a learning plan or crash course in developing a safety net for you.
