I will discuss a couple of techniques often useful to prove quasi-isometric rigidity results for isometry groups. I will then sketch how these were used by B. Kleiner and B. Leeb to obtain quasi-isometric rigidity for the class of fundamental groups of closed locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type.
