SayPro Post-Event Responsibilities: Feedback Collection and Reporting

Objective: Gather Insights to Improve Future Events

1. Design a Post-Event Feedback Survey

• Create a Comprehensive Survey: Develop a survey that asks participants for feedback on various aspects of the event. Include both quantitative (rating scales) and qualitative (open-ended) questions to gather both measurable data and detailed insights.
  • Example Task: “Design a survey with questions about the event’s content, logistics, speakers, virtual/in-person experience, and overall satisfaction.”
  • Sample Questions:
    • How satisfied were you with the overall event experience? (1-5 scale)
    • Which session(s) did you find most valuable?
    • Was the event content aligned with your expectations? (Yes/No)
    • What improvements could be made to future events?
    • What was your overall impression of the virtual vs. in-person experience?

2. Distribute the Survey

• Send Follow-Up Email with Survey Link: After the event, send a thank-you email to participants that includes the survey link. Make it clear that their feedback is essential for improving future events.
  • Example Task: “Include a clear call-to-action in the follow-up email, asking attendees to complete the feedback survey within a specified time frame (e.g., within 1-2 weeks).”

3. Encourage Honest and Constructive Feedback

• Make It Anonymous: Ensure that the survey is anonymous so participants feel comfortable sharing honest feedback.
  • Example Task: “Promote anonymity in the survey communication to ensure attendees feel their feedback will be valued and confidential.”

4. Incorporate Open-Ended Questions

• Allow Space for Suggestions: Include open-ended questions that allow participants to provide specific feedback, such as suggestions for improvement, topics they would like to see covered in the future, or what they found most helpful about the event.
  • Example Task: “Add open-ended questions like ‘What would you like to see in future events?’ and ‘Was there anything that did not meet your expectations?’ to gather more detailed feedback.”

5. Analyze the Feedback

• Review Responses: Once the feedback survey is complete, gather and analyze the responses to identify trends, common themes, and areas for improvement.
  • Example Task: “Summarize the feedback into key categories (e.g., content, logistics, virtual experience, speakers) and look for recurring themes.”
• Focus on Actionable Insights: Prioritize the insights that can be acted upon. Look for specific suggestions or problems that were mentioned multiple times.
  • Example Task: “Identify actionable feedback, such as a desire for more interactive workshops or improved technical support, and prioritize these for future events.”

6. Prepare a Post-Event Feedback Report

• Create a Detailed Report: Compile the feedback into a comprehensive report that includes both qualitative and quantitative data, as well as recommendations for improvement.
  • Example Task: “Draft a report summarizing key feedback findings, including average ratings, top-rated sessions, and common suggestions for improvement.”
• Include Specific Recommendations: Based on the feedback, make specific recommendations for improving future events. This could include adjusting event format, increasing networking opportunities, or ensuring better technical support.
  • Example Task: “Recommend adjustments, such as offering more networking sessions or ensuring clearer communication for virtual participants based on the feedback received.”

7. Share Key Insights with the Team

• Team Discussion: Share the feedback report with the SayPro event team, speakers, facilitators, and any involved stakeholders. Discuss the insights gathered and align on areas for improvement for future events.
  • Example Task: “Schedule a meeting with the event planning team to review the feedback and discuss how to incorporate improvements into the next event.”

8. Inform Participants About Changes (Optional)

• Update Attendees on Improvements: If major changes or improvements are being made based on feedback, consider sending a follow-up message to participants, letting them know how their feedback is being used to improve future events.
  • Example Task: “Send a message to past participants outlining the changes that will be made based on their feedback. This helps participants feel heard and valued.”

9. Continuously Improve the Feedback Process

• Refine the Survey: For future events, continuously refine the feedback collection process based on what worked well or what could be improved from this event’s survey process.
  • Example Task: “After the event feedback analysis, adjust the survey questions or method to focus more on areas that may have been overlooked or that received inconsistent feedback.”

10. Evaluate Success Metrics

• Measure Event Success: Use the feedback data to evaluate the overall success of the event against the original goals and objectives (e.g., participant satisfaction, content effectiveness, engagement levels).
  • Example Task: “Review event goals (e.g., engagement, learning outcomes, community-building) and assess if they were met, using the feedback to gauge the level of success.”
