SayPro Key Responsibilities: Evaluate the Event After the Cooking or Baking Challenge

Objective: After each SayPro Monthly Cooking or Baking Challenge, it’s crucial to collect and evaluate feedback from participants. This helps assess the effectiveness of the event, gather insights on the overall experience, and identify areas for improvement to ensure future challenges are even more successful and engaging.

1. Design a Post-Event Feedback Survey

A. Create Clear and Actionable Questions

Objective: Develop a comprehensive survey that focuses on different aspects of the event, including content, participant engagement, logistics, and overall satisfaction. Actions:
- Ensure that the questions are clear, concise, and easy to answer.
- Include a mix of closed-ended (e.g., Likert scale, multiple choice) and open-ended (e.g., comment sections) questions to gather both quantitative and qualitative data.
- Focus on key aspects like:
  - Event Organization: How well was the event organized and communicated?
  - Content and Themes: Were the challenge themes engaging and relevant?
  - Tools and Resources: Were the ingredients, equipment, or online platforms sufficient for the activity?
  - Participant Engagement: How engaged did participants feel throughout the event?
  - Judging and Feedback: Was the judging process fair and transparent? Did participants feel their work was evaluated fairly?
  - Improvements: What suggestions do participants have for future events?
Example Questions:
- “On a scale of 1-5, how organized did you find the event?”
- “How engaging did you find the theme of this month’s challenge?”
- “What did you enjoy most about the event?”
- “What challenges did you face during the competition?”
- “What suggestions do you have to improve the event next time?”

2. Distribute the Survey to Participants

A. Send Survey Timely and Easily Accessible

Objective: Ensure that the survey reaches all participants promptly after the event, and they are motivated to complete it. Actions:
- Send the feedback survey within 24 hours of the event to ensure that the experience is fresh in the participants’ minds.
- Provide a clear and simple link to the survey via email or within the event platform.
- If appropriate, offer an incentive (such as a prize or recognition) for completing the survey to encourage more responses.
Example:
- “Thank you for participating in today’s cooking challenge! We would love to hear about your experience to help us improve future events. Please fill out this short survey (link provided) to share your thoughts!”

3. Analyze Feedback and Identify Trends

A. Review Responses

Objective: Analyze survey data to identify patterns, trends, and actionable insights about the event’s strengths and areas that need improvement. Actions:
- Quantitative Data: Analyze the Likert scale and multiple-choice responses to identify overall satisfaction levels and common themes across the responses.
- Qualitative Data: Review open-ended responses to gather specific feedback, suggestions, and ideas that can improve future events.
- Pay attention to any recurrent concerns, such as issues with specific tools, lack of clarity in instructions, or technical difficulties.
Example:
- “Many participants mentioned enjoying the creative freedom of the challenge theme, but several expressed difficulty with time management. This suggests we may need to consider providing more time or clearer timelines in future events.”

4. Share Key Findings with the Organizing Team

A. Present Insights to Improve Future Events

Objective: Share the collected feedback with relevant stakeholders (event organizers, facilitators, sponsors) to evaluate the event’s success and discuss areas for improvement. Actions:
- Create a Summary Report: Summarize key feedback, including positive highlights, recurring challenges, and suggestions for future improvements.
- Hold a Debriefing Meeting: Organize a meeting with the event team to discuss the feedback in detail, brainstorm solutions, and make action plans for future events.
- Highlight Areas for Change: Emphasize areas that need adjustment based on participant feedback, such as changing the event format, adjusting the judging criteria, or improving technical support.
Example:
- “Based on feedback, participants felt the cooking stations were well-equipped, but there was a desire for more guidance on the challenge structure. We could improve by providing clearer task timelines and pre-event training on time management.”

5. Address Participant Concerns and Suggestions

A. Implement Actionable Changes

Objective: Address valid concerns and implement suggestions to enhance the experience for future challenges. Actions:
- Adjust Logistics: If feedback points to issues with the event schedule, tools, or communication, take the necessary steps to rectify these issues before the next event.
- Improve Participant Engagement: If participants expressed challenges with team coordination, offer guidance on how teams can better collaborate during the event.
- Enhance Judging Transparency: If there were concerns regarding the fairness of the judging, consider offering more detailed judging criteria or creating a feedback loop after the event.
Example:
- “Several participants mentioned the need for better technical support during the online portions of the event. We will implement a dedicated help desk for future virtual events to ensure smooth transitions and reduce technical issues.”

6. Measure Event Success Based on Feedback

A. Evaluate Overall Success

Objective: Evaluate the overall success of the challenge based on the collected feedback and determine areas of improvement for future activities. Actions:
- Assess whether the event objectives (engagement, team building, skill development) were met, and if participants had a positive overall experience.
- Review the level of engagement and satisfaction across different teams or individuals to identify whether the challenge met the diverse needs of the participants.
Example:
- “The majority of participants rated their experience as positive (4.5/5 on average), with feedback indicating high satisfaction with the challenge format, but there were concerns about the time limitations. This suggests that the event was successful overall, but we may need to adjust the timeline in future events.”

7. Communicate Improvements and Future Events

A. Share What’s Changed Based on Feedback

Objective: Show participants that their feedback is valued by communicating any changes or improvements made based on their suggestions. Actions:
- Send a follow-up email or communication that thanks participants for their feedback and shares any adjustments that will be made for future events.
- Promote future events by showing how their suggestions have been incorporated into the planning process for upcoming challenges.
Example:
- “Thank you for your valuable feedback on the December Cooking Challenge! Based on your suggestions, we’ve adjusted the event schedule to allow more time for preparation and streamlined the judging process to make it clearer for everyone. We look forward to having you join us for the next challenge in January!”

By evaluating the event through participant feedback, SayPro ensures that future cooking or baking challenges remain engaging, well-organized, and continuously improve based on real-time experiences.
