The Value: Customer feedback is invaluable for business improvement, yet many MENA businesses struggle to collect, analyze, and act on feedback effectively.
Through my consulting work with businesses across Lebanon and the Middle East, I've helped organizations build feedback systems that drive continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

Multiple channels capture different types of feedback:
- Surveys: Structured feedback collection
- Interviews: In-depth qualitative insights
- Social media: Real-time customer sentiment
- Reviews: Public feedback and ratings
- Support interactions: Feedback from service encounters
Feedback Analysis Framework
