Follow Up for Quality Event Feedback
Introduction
As the CEO passed Siobhan’s desk on his weekly office tour, he asked, “How did it go?” He was referring to the conference Siobhan had organized to engage their industry in standardization guidelines. Although Siobhan felt the event was a success, she knew she had only scratched the surface in gathering comprehensive feedback. “I’m still collecting data,” she replied. “But the initial reports are more positive than we anticipated. I’ll have full results for next week’s review.”Purpose of Events
Events like seminars, roadshows, or workshops are organized with specific goals in mind:- Generate sales opportunities for products or services
- Spread information or increase productivity within an organization
- Raise general awareness about a topic
- Gain support for changes (political, legal, social, or environmental)
After an event, it might be tempting to relax and await reactions. However, considering the investment of time, energy, and resources, it’s crucial to proactively assess its effectiveness. Like any product, some events meet expectations, while others require adjustments or redesigns for future success.
Importance of Follow-Up
No event will satisfy everyone completely, but you can get close by understanding what worked well and what didn’t. Immediate feedback may not always reflect true opinions, so post-event follow-up is essential for balanced feedback.Delegates have varying learning styles, making it unlikely you'll see a complete reaction during the event.
Understanding Delegate Types
Delegates can generally be categorized into four types:1. Activists
2. Pragmatists
3. Theorists
4. Reflectors
Activists and pragmatists typically respond quickly, enjoying interaction and engagement. Pragmatists evaluate the practicality of ideas, while activists thrive on new experiences.
Theorists and reflectors, on the other hand, prefer a more thoughtful approach. Theorists break down ideas step-by-step, while reflectors gather information and consider multiple perspectives. These types often benefit from a follow-up process, needing time to assimilate the information.
Conclusion
Siobhan was wise not to declare success prematurely. Subsequent feedback revealed practical issues requiring time and resources to address. These insights emerged as delegates returned and analyzed the business implications in detail.Effective follow-up helps capture the complete picture of an event’s success and areas for improvement, ensuring future events are even more successful.
