Case Study: Alex’s Employee Benefits Survey

Alex needed to analyze results from an employee benefits satisfaction survey. She used Generative AI in three steps:

• Step 1: Summarize the Data
  • Decided between two summarization methods:
    • Extractive Summarization: Selects and rephrases key sentences—useful for reports and large datasets.
    • Abstractive Summarization: Generates new sentences that convey essential information—ideal for content skimming.
  • Used AI prompts like: "Create an extractive summary of the following text" or "Organize the data into categories."
• Step 2: Refine and Organize the Data
  • Reviewed AI-generated summaries to ensure accuracy and relevance.
  • Used AI to categorize and structure the data for better analysis.
• Step 3: Present the Data Effectively
  • Used AI to help create visual presentations, infographics, or data-driven stories.
