Post-Event Feedback Process

This playbook outlines a structured procedure for collecting and reviewing feedback from attendees after a corporate event. The purpose is to inform and improve the planning and execution of future events.

Step 1: Prepare Survey

Design a feedback form or survey to distribute to event attendees. The survey should be concise, easy to understand, and cover various aspects of the event experience.

Step 2: Distribute Survey

Share the feedback form with attendees soon after the event's conclusion. This can be done via email, a mobile app, or through physical forms during the event.

Step 3: Set Deadline

Assign a deadline for survey completion to ensure timely feedback collection. Provide a clear date by which responses must be submitted.

Step 4: Collect Responses

Gather all submitted feedback following the response deadline. Ensure all data is securely stored and organized for analysis.

Step 5: Analyze Feedback

Review and categorize the feedback into themes or areas of interest. Look for commonalities and significant points of both praise and criticism.

Step 6: Report Findings

Compile the analyzed data into a report. Highlight key findings, recommendations, and potential areas of improvement for future events.

Step 7: Discuss Actions

Organize a team meeting to discuss the report. Encourage open and constructive conversation about the feedback and how it can be used to make improvements.

Step 8: Plan Improvements

Identify actionable changes and improvements based on the feedback. Determine the steps needed to implement these changes in future event planning.

Step 9: Implement Changes

Adjust event planning and execution strategies to incorporate the agreed-upon improvements. Allocate resources and assign responsibilities to ensure changes are enacted.

Step 10: Follow-up

Conduct follow-up evaluations to assess the effectiveness of the changes made. Continue the cycle of feedback to maintain a culture of constant improvement.

General Notes

Confidentiality

Ensure that all feedback collected is treated with confidentiality, and respondents feel comfortable sharing honest opinions without retribution.

Inclusivity

Offer multiple channels for feedback to accommodate various preferences and ensure all attendees have an opportunity to provide their input.

Continuity

Maintain a standard process for feedback collection across events to enable tracking and comparison of event performance over time.
