EXCLUDING CHOICE OF LOCATION… WHAT DRIVES OVERALL EXPERIENCE IN CONFERENCE CENTRES? WAYS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S IMPORTANT 1. Ask them what’s important 2. Derive what’s important from the data 28
A QUICK EXPLANATION OF IPSOS BAYES NETS (IBN) Stress-Free Stress-Free Event Finding 2: Event Experience Experience The positive relationship + + between a stress-free experience and satisfaction Helpful comes only from the fact Helpful Staff Staff ++ Satisfaction Satisfaction that they share the same root cause (helpful staff). – + Changing this driver alone Low + won’t improve satisfaction. Finding 1: Fees Low The relationship between these Fees two drivers is negative. A strategy that improves perceptions of helpful staff will lead to a deterioration in the perception that the fees are competitive. 29
