To be able to walk down the hall and spend time with "fresh mind" colleagues going over issues can be very helpful, even if just forcing to verbalize and review details in back and forth manner that may be too close to to tackle alone. A few MedChem types can on occasion be good for hardcore Synthesis topics but seem to reach limits for much of critical scale-up knowledge. Consultants can be OK but rarely find many that know much about process side, particularly in academics. I would be willing to recommend Neal as one of few good ones out there (beyond just his book) based on past contacts at conferences/meeting.
