Knowledge Management
QED specializes in:
- Knowledge management—helping an organization apply what it and its people know;
- Communications—sharing what an organization knows and accomplishes; and
- Continuous learning—helping people learn what they need to know throughout their careers.
QED studies how our clients’ people seek, interact with, and use information. Then we help them maximize the impact of the intellectual capital they generate with online communities, learning networks, communication programs, and blended learning solutions.
The cornerstone of our Knowledge Management (KM) and community of practice efforts is the Knowledge-Driven International Development portal, launched December 2010. KDID hosts a family of USAID communities that helps maximize the effectiveness of development assistance by connecting practitioners, promoting learning opportunities, and spreading innovation and good practice. KDID hosts online activities, e-consultations, ask the expert features; and distance learning programs. KDID also uses social networking so users can create their own profiles, events, groups, and chats; contribute content; and coordinate their own online meetings.
QED is a leader at developing and managing online communities for USAID, including:

Where We Work
The first rule of being a KM practitioner is that you should try to work yourself out of a job, because knowledge sharing needs to be inherent. The second rule is if that if you follow the first, you’ll always get to work on bigger and better challenges, because the need for more knowledge is insatiable.
