The innovation impact
In January 2023, Aoife set up ‘THINK SMART’, a new cyber mindset program for educational facilities, community organisations as well as national and international business organisations. ‘THINK SMART’ is built around a program of workshops and talks.
For educational organisations it educates and empowers students, parents, and teachers when it comes to the use of social media and smart devices. This initiative directly responds to a societal challenge and responds to increased awareness of the link between mental health challenges and misuses of social media and smart technology. For businesses, the workshops aim to train employees to “think in a certain way”, to learn new techniques and create new mindsets around cyber security thereby reducing vulnerability to cyber-attack.
By integrating cyber security expertise with high-performance mindset skills, this program equips participants with lifelong tools to foster more positive attitudes and behaviours online.
