1. Organize and Clean the Data
Before analyzing, feedback data must be organized and cleaned to ensure accuracy.
Tasks:
- Export data from forms (Google Forms, Typeform, etc.) to Excel or Google Sheets.
- Group responses by type: quantitative (ratings, multiple-choice) and qualitative (open-ended answers).
- Check for incomplete or duplicate entries.
- Tag responses by participant group: attendees, volunteers, speakers, etc.
2. Quantitative Feedback Analysis
This involves analyzing numerical data (e.g., satisfaction ratings, Likert scales).
How to analyze:
- Calculate averages for questions like โRate the event overall (1-5).โ
- Determine percentages (e.g., 78% of attendees rated the technical quality as โGoodโ or better).
- Create charts:
- Pie charts for satisfaction distribution.
- Bar graphs comparing different event components (e.g., sessions, speakers).
- Line graphs for feedback trends over time (if youโve done similar events in the past).
Tools to use:
- Google Sheets / Excel
- Power BI or Tableau for advanced dashboards
- AI tools like ChatGPT for summaries and explanations of data patterns
3. Qualitative Feedback Analysis
This focuses on open-ended responses to discover themes, sentiment, and suggestions.
Steps to follow:
- Group responses by theme:
- Presentation quality
- Logistics
- Communication
- Suggestions
- Use keyword analysis to find commonly used words (e.g., โengaging,โ โdelays,โ โprofessionalโ).
- Tag sentiment:
- Positive, Neutral, Negative
- Highlight recurring pain points (e.g., โToo many schedule changesโ)
Bonus Tip: Let GPT help! You can paste blocks of text into GPT to get a summarized theme or sentiment analysis in seconds.
4. Identify Key Insights & Trends
Now interpret the results to understand what went well and what needs attention.
Examples:
- Successes:
- โ92% of attendees found the youth entrepreneurship workshop highly useful.โ
- โSpeakers were frequently described as ‘inspiring’ and ‘well-prepared.’โ
- Areas for Improvement:
- โMultiple attendees noted that the event started late and sessions were rushed.โ
- โSome virtual participants struggled with audio clarity during two key presentations.โ
- Emerging Trends:
- Youth are especially interested in tech-related sessions.
- Attendees want more networking time and real-life success stories.
5. Create a Clear Feedback Report
Put your findings into a well-structured report that can be shared with stakeholders, partners, and planning teams.
Structure:
- Executive Summary โ High-level takeaways.
- Participant Overview โ Who gave the feedback.
- Quantitative Results โ Graphs and data visuals.
- Qualitative Themes โ Key quotes, grouped suggestions.
- Strengths & Wins
- Challenges & Actionable Areas
- Recommendations for Future Events
Tools:
- Canva or Google Slides for clean, visual reports
- Microsoft Word or Docs for full detailed analysis
- Infographic summaries for social sharing or newsletters
6. Follow Up and Share Improvements
Once the report is complete:
- Share a summary with attendees to show transparency and appreciation.
- Highlight how Saypro will address key concerns in future events.
- Use insights to plan and improve workshops, sessions, and support.
Bonus: Use AI for Ongoing Feedback Monitoring
Instead of only analyzing feedback after the event, Saypro can use AI-driven tools to:
- Monitor live poll results during the event
- Identify issues in real time (e.g., common complaints in chat)
- Adapt the event on the fly
