SayPro Post-Event Responsibilities: Tasks

Review the Feedback and Generate a Report that Highlights Key Takeaways and Areas for Improvement

1. Organize and Summarize Survey Responses

• Export Feedback Data: Once the survey deadline has passed, export the responses from your survey platform (Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, etc.) into a manageable format, such as a spreadsheet or document.
  • Example Task: “Export survey data to a spreadsheet for easy analysis, and ensure that both quantitative and qualitative responses are included.”
• Categorize Responses: Review the responses and categorize them by key themes such as:
  • Content (e.g., session quality, relevance)
  • Speakers (e.g., effectiveness, engagement)
  • Logistics (e.g., event flow, virtual platform experience, in-person organization)
  • Overall satisfaction (e.g., general feedback, suggestions for improvement)
  • Technical performance (e.g., audio, video, breakout rooms)
  • Example Task: “Sort survey feedback into categories such as ‘Content,’ ‘Speakers,’ ‘Logistics,’ and ‘Technical Performance.’”

2. Analyze Quantitative Data

• Review Rating Scale Responses: Focus on numerical responses (e.g., 1-5 scale) to understand overall satisfaction and performance in various areas of the event. Look for trends, such as whether specific sessions or activities received high or low ratings.
  • Example Task: “Calculate average scores for key areas such as speaker ratings, content quality, and event logistics to get a sense of overall participant satisfaction.”
• Identify Highs and Lows: Highlight any areas with particularly high or low ratings. For example, if a session received a 1/5 rating, it’s important to investigate why it performed poorly.
  • Example Task: “Identify any responses that indicate major concerns or highly positive feedback (e.g., a workshop with all 5-star ratings).”

3. Analyze Qualitative Data

• Review Open-Ended Feedback: Analyze the qualitative responses (written comments) to identify common themes, recurring suggestions, or issues mentioned by multiple participants. Look for specific comments about things participants liked or things they felt could be improved.
  • Example Task: “Review open-ended answers and identify recurring comments or issues mentioned, such as ‘I liked the networking session’ or ‘The virtual platform had technical issues.’”
• Categorize Open-Ended Responses: Group these open-ended comments into themes such as positive feedback, suggestions for improvement, and technical difficulties.
  • Example Task: “Group the written responses into categories: Positive Feedback, Suggestions for Improvement, and Technical Issues.”

4. Synthesize Key Insights

• Highlight Key Takeaways: Based on the quantitative and qualitative feedback, synthesize the key insights from the event. Identify what went well and what could be improved. Use a mix of specific comments and ratings to support your analysis.
  • Example Task: “Create a list of the key strengths and weaknesses based on feedback, such as ‘The speakers were highly rated, but there were complaints about the technical performance of the virtual platform.’”
• Note Recurring Themes: Pay attention to recurring themes or issues. For example, if multiple attendees mentioned that the session duration was too long or that networking opportunities were too short, make sure to highlight these in the report.
  • Example Task: “Identify trends like ‘many participants mentioned that networking sessions were too short’ or ‘several attendees experienced audio issues during virtual sessions.’”

5. Create a Post-Event Feedback Report

• Executive Summary: Start the report with a brief summary of the event, its objectives, and a high-level overview of the feedback received. This sets the context for the findings.
  • Example Task: “Draft a short summary of the event’s goals and an overview of the general feedback received.”
• Quantitative Data: Include the key quantitative findings, such as average ratings for various areas (e.g., overall satisfaction, session ratings, speaker performance).
  • Example Task: “Present the average ratings for aspects like content, logistics, and technical performance using graphs or charts for clarity.”
• Qualitative Data: Provide a summary of key open-ended feedback, focusing on the most mentioned positive and negative aspects.
  • Example Task: “Summarize key themes from open-ended feedback, including both positive feedback and areas for improvement, like technical issues or suggestions for future topics.”
• Identify Strengths: Highlight the aspects of the event that participants found most valuable, such as specific sessions, speakers, or networking opportunities.
  • Example Task: “Create a section that highlights the strengths of the event, such as ‘The feedback for the keynote speaker was overwhelmingly positive.’”
• Identify Areas for Improvement: List the areas where improvements are needed, based on participant feedback. This could include logistical changes, technical fixes, or content-related adjustments.
  • Example Task: “Create a list of areas for improvement, such as ‘Improving virtual platform performance’ or ‘Providing clearer instructions for session transitions.’”

6. Provide Actionable Recommendations

• Suggest Improvements: Based on the feedback, provide specific, actionable recommendations to improve future events. These could involve logistics, session formats, speaker engagement, virtual platform performance, etc.
  • Example Task: “Provide recommendations like ‘Add more time for networking’ or ‘Test virtual platforms more thoroughly before the event.’”
• Prioritize Actions: Prioritize the actions based on the impact of the feedback. For example, if many participants had issues with technical difficulties, addressing that should be a top priority.
  • Example Task: “Prioritize recommendations by importance. For example, ‘Fixing audio/visual issues on virtual platforms’ should be a top priority based on participant feedback.”

7. Share the Feedback Report with the Team

• Distribute the Report: Share the feedback report with the SayPro event team, key stakeholders, and facilitators. Discuss the findings and align on changes for the next event.
  • Example Task: “Share the feedback report with the event team and schedule a meeting to discuss next steps.”

8. Use the Report to Inform Future Events

• Action Plan for Future Events: Develop an action plan based on the recommendations in the report. Ensure that improvements are implemented in time for the next event.
  • Example Task: “Use the feedback report to guide planning for the next event. Create an action plan that includes specific tasks to address the feedback, such as ‘test all tech equipment before the event.’”

Example Post-Event Feedback Report Outline:

1. Executive Summary
   • Brief overview of the event’s goals and overall feedback received.
2. Quantitative Feedback
   • Average ratings for key aspects (overall satisfaction, session quality, speaker ratings, etc.).
3. Qualitative Feedback
   • Summary of open-ended feedback (positive aspects, areas for improvement, suggestions).
4. Strengths
   • Key areas where the event excelled (e.g., highly rated speakers, valuable content, effective sessions).
5. Areas for Improvement
   • Issues and concerns raised by participants (e.g., technical difficulties, session length, timing).
6. Recommendations
   • Actionable suggestions for improving future events based on participant feedback.
7. Conclusion
   • Summary of the report and next steps for incorporating feedback into future events.

By carefully reviewing the feedback, generating a detailed report, and creating an actionable plan, SayPro can continually improve the quality and impact of its events, ensuring better experiences for participants in the future.
