1. Organize the Feedback Data ๐๏ธ a. Separate by Type Quantitative Data: Ratings and multiple-choice answers (e.g., 1 to 5 satisfaction scores)
Qualitative Data: Open-ended responses, written comments, suggestions, or testimonials๐๏ธ b. Group by Key Themes Organize both data types into common categories:
Event content
Presenters/facilitators
Venue or platform (virtual/in-person)
Scheduling and logistics
Participant engagement
Support and communication 2. Analyze Quantitative (Ratings) Data ๐ a. Calculate Summary Statistics Average Ratings for each category
Response Distribution (e.g., how many rated 5, 4, 3, etc.)
Trend Analysis (compare scores with past events)๐ b. Visualize the Results Use:
Bar charts (e.g., average satisfaction per session)
Pie charts (e.g., percentage of participants who rated a workshop 4 or above)
Line graphs (e.g., monthly trend in presenter ratings) 3. Analyze Qualitative (Comment) Data ๐ฌ a. Thematic Analysis Read through comments and highlight keywords or phrases
Group comments under recurring themes (e.g., “too fast-paced,” “great interaction”) ๐ง b. Sentiment Analysis Tag each comment as Positive , Neutral , or Negative
Use AI tools (like GPT or sentiment analysis tools) to speed this up if you have a lot of feedback ๐ c. Identify Patterns See where qualitative comments support or contrast with ratings e.g., a workshop might score 4.5/5 overall, but multiple comments mention the pace being too fast โ thatโs a signal worth noting. 4. Synthesize the Insights Bring both sets of data together in a combined summary :
Category Quantitative Insight Qualitative Insight Content Quality Avg rating: 4.6/5 โVery informative and usefulโ โ frequent praise for relevance Presenter Performance Avg rating: 4.8/5 โEngaging, funny, clear deliveryโ Event Timing Avg rating: 3.7/5 โSessions were too long without breaksโ Platform Experience Avg rating: 3.5/5 โStruggled to log inโ / โLag issuesโ
5. Create a Summary Report or Presentation Your synthesized report should include:
Executive Summary: One-page overview of findings
Visual Charts: Ratings and comment trends
Insights by Theme: What worked, what needs improvement
Quotes: Use standout comments (anonymized) to add personality
Recommendations: Based on both data types6. Use the Insights to Drive Action The final goal is to turn synthesized insights into:
Event design improvements
Training for presenters
Platform/tech upgrades
Better scheduling or communication ๐ Extra Tip: Correlate Data โ See how ratings match up with comments:
If people gave a high score but left critical comments, dig deeper.
If the same issue appears in both data types, it’s a clear priority for change.
