SayPro Post-Event Responsibilities: Feedback Collection and Reporting

Objective: Gather Insights to Improve Future Events

1. Design a Post-Event Feedback Survey

• Create a Structured Survey: Design a survey that includes both quantitative (rating scales, multiple choice) and qualitative (open-ended) questions to gain a full range of insights.
  • Example Questions:
    • On a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate the overall event experience?
    • Which session/workshop did you find most valuable and why?
    • How would you rate the technical quality (audio, video) of virtual sessions?
    • Was there any session or activity that did not meet your expectations? Please explain.
    • Do you have any suggestions for future event topics or improvements?

2. Distribute the Feedback Survey

• Follow-Up Email: After the event, send a thank-you email to participants and include a link to the survey. Make it clear that their feedback is crucial for improving future events.
  • Example Task: “Compose and send a follow-up email thanking attendees and encouraging them to provide feedback via the survey. Set a deadline for survey completion.”

3. Encourage Honest Feedback

• Anonymity and Transparency: Assure participants that their responses will be anonymous and that their honest feedback is valued and important.
  • Example Task: “Communicate clearly in the survey that responses are anonymous and their input is used to improve future events.”

4. Analyze the Feedback

• Review Responses: Once the survey has been completed, gather all responses and analyze them to identify common themes, trends, and patterns in the feedback.
  • Example Task: “Summarize the feedback into key themes, such as overall satisfaction, content quality, technical issues, and suggestions for improvement.”

5. Prepare a Post-Event Feedback Report

• Create a Report: Compile the results of the survey into a detailed report. Include both quantitative data (e.g., average ratings) and qualitative insights (e.g., participant comments).
  • Report Sections:
    • Executive Summary: A brief overview of the feedback collected and the event’s overall reception.
    • Key Findings: Summarize the key takeaways, such as highly rated sessions, common issues, and positive feedback.
    • Suggestions for Improvement: Identify recurring suggestions and actionable feedback to enhance future events.
    • Recommendations: Based on the feedback, provide concrete recommendations for improving future events (e.g., improving technical support, adding more networking time).

6. Share Feedback with the Team

• Team Meeting: Share the feedback report with the SayPro event planning team, speakers, and facilitators. Discuss the findings and align on what changes should be made for future events.
  • Example Task: “Schedule a team debrief meeting to review feedback and identify areas for improvement based on the collected insights.”

7. Implement Changes for Future Events

• Action Plan: Based on the feedback report, prioritize changes and improvements for future events. This may include adjusting the event format, enhancing virtual platforms, or improving session content.
  • Example Task: “Create an action plan with specific changes or improvements to be implemented for the next event, such as adjusting the event schedule, adding more interactive sessions, or improving technical support.”

8. Communicate Improvements to Participants (Optional)

• Follow-Up with Attendees: Consider sending a follow-up communication to participants, letting them know how their feedback is being used to make improvements for future events.
  • Example Task: “Send an email to attendees sharing the key changes being made for future events based on their feedback, showing them their input is valued.”

9. Use Feedback for Continuous Improvement

• Evaluate the Process: Review the feedback collection process itself to see if it can be improved for the next event. This could include refining survey questions or exploring new ways to gather insights.
  • Example Task: “After analyzing feedback, refine the feedback collection process for future events, such as introducing new questions to capture more specific data or making the survey easier to complete.”

10. Track Event Success and Goals

• Compare Goals vs. Results: Assess how well the event met its original objectives, such as engagement, learning outcomes, or community-building. Use the feedback to measure the event’s success and identify areas for growth.
  • Example Task: “Compare event feedback with initial goals and metrics to evaluate whether the event successfully achieved its intended outcomes.”
