- Rosanne Pouw (SURF)
- Davina Luyten
- Cornelia Puhze (SWITCH)
Description
Rosanne Pouw (SURF) provides an introduction and the first hands-on training module to applying SURF’s practical awareness framework within higher education and research institutions. Participants will explore how the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle can be used to structure, implement, evaluate, and continuously improve awareness initiatives in a systematic and measurable way.
Module risk management and behaviour change:
This workshop module and first step in the PDCA approach introduces participants to the strategic use of risk management as a foundation for effective awareness programmes within educational and research institutions.
Participants will learn how to assess the current state of awareness within their institution, develop and apply a risk matrix, and connect identified risks to desired behaviours. The workshop also introduces persona development, target group analysis, and practical behaviour change models, including the COM-B model, to support structured and evidence-based interventions.
