I'd suggest that you have a look at a good Content Strategy book. I found that 'Content Strategy at Work' ( Margot Bloomstein) worked best for me - I didn't get on with the Halvorson book 'Content Strategy for the Web', which is meant to be *the* one to go for.
Giving people a model and a checklist to work with can often work - that's in the examples of the book.
