Knowledge Management

At the Somalia Development Research Institute (SODRI), we recognize the critical importance of efficiently harnessing and utilizing knowledge to address the complex challenges facing our society. We understand that amidst the abundance of data, information, and expertise available, it is essential to employ human intelligence to discern valuable and pertinent knowledge that can effectively meet the needs of our clients and contribute to sustainable development.
Our Knowledge Management Competence Section collaborates closely with our Data Science and Impact teams to provide tailored solutions to our clients, enabling them to tackle challenging inquiries such as:

  • How can Knowledge Management systems ensure long-term sustainability?
  • What organizational structures are prevalent among leading companies in relevant sectors?
  • Which consumer segments should be targeted in emerging markets?
  • What are the prevailing issues impacting specific markets?
  • What does the forecast data indicate for various industries?

We achieve this by facilitating access to proprietary knowledge, data, research, analysis, and leveraging a global network of experts.
Furthermore, drawing from our extensive experience, we offer advisory services to clients on structuring, organizing, and managing their Knowledge Management areas. We guide companies in developing a knowledge function that seamlessly integrates into their daily operations, delivering tangible value consistently.

Our Approach:

We provide comprehensive support to our consultants throughout the project lifecycle:

  • Set up: We offer access to proprietary knowledge, methodologies, and case studies, along with internal specialists and a wealth of industry, market, company, and country-specific data. This initial phase establishes the foundation for the project.
  • During the Project: Our support extends with in-depth data analysis, incorporating advanced analytics, benchmarks, and best practices. We also facilitate engagement with external experts to enrich project outcomes continually.
  • Closure: Lessons learned are systematically reviewed and integrated into our knowledge repository to enhance methodologies and benchmarks continuously, ensuring ongoing improvement and relevance.

At SODRI, we are committed to promoting a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous learning, empowering our clients and stakeholders with actionable insights for sustainable development.
