Objectives In this project, we will build a data-driven solution. This tool will allow feedback to be layered across the different sources and viewed at a local level so we can understand the priorities, key issues, and reputation at a local level giving a view at district level, local council and local government level. The tool will take a scrape of all customer feedback, social media, web posts, political feedback and media coverage relating to the DNO which will allow us to demonstrate a greater reach than would otherwise be achieved through solely traditional engagement methods. This tool would then use natural language processing algorithms to identify the topic being discussed, identify positive/negative feedback and identify the root cause. Whilst this technology is not new, the way in which it is being applied is new, in that it is bringing together a multi-dimensional data set into a bespoke dashboard that can provide new and unique insight. This tool will give the ability to demonstrate the reach to a much wider population of customers which could not be achieved solely through traditional methods. The tool will: Benchmark relevant data Collect and reconcile data Capture insights Visualise insights The objective of this project is to deliver the tool to use interactions on social media involving SP Energy Networks to gather feedback and drive engagement on stakeholder priorities.
Abstract This project will develop a tool for using data from customer feedback and social media to supplement stakeholder engagement.
