WSI DMS Launches AI-Driven Mentors & Coaches Program: Equipping Mentors to Lead Ethically and Effectively in the AI Era
'This is about preparing human-centered leaders for AI-shaped futures.'— Hande Ocak Başev, Managing Partner of WSI Digital Consulting
LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, May 22, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- WSI DMS, in collaboration with RK Academy, proudly announces the launch of AI Fluency for Future-Ready Coaches—a hybrid learning experience designed to equip professionals with the tools, ethics, and fluency to lead with integrity in a rapidly transforming digital landscape.
Currently undergoing EMCC accreditation, and with ICF and other global recognitions on the horizon, the program delivers more than technical skills. It enables a strategic mindset shift, positioning coaches and mentors as ethical AI integrators and digital transition leaders.
'This is about preparing human-centered leaders for AI-shaped futures,' said Hande Ocak Başev, Program Architect and Managing Partner of WSI Digital Consulting in London & Turkey. 'Our participants won't just learn how to use AI—they'll learn when, why, and how to use it responsibly, creatively, and with purpose.'
A Program Grounded in Practical Wisdom
AI Fluency for Future-Ready Coaches is a four-week, EMCC-aligned hybrid program that includes:
20 hours of immersive learning, blending live workshops with self-paced modules. Practical AI integration techniques for client prep, session delivery, goal tracking, and coaching reflections. Training in ethical, compliant, and psychologically safe AI usage. Bonus content on AI-powered marketing and business automation to scale coaching practices. Through structured reflection, live simulations, and supervised practice, participants graduate with the confidence to integrate AI without sacrificing empathy, trust, or presence.
A Trusted Partnership Driving Ethical Innovation
The collaboration between WSI DMS and RK Academy combines digital fluency with reflective coaching expertise. Dr. Riza Kadilar, founder of RK Academy, adds:
'This program is not about teaching tools—it's about helping professionals discover their voice in the world of AI. As mentors and coaches, our greatest value lies not in giving answers, but in asking better questions. That's exactly what this course trains us to do—with and through AI.'
Kadilar also emphasized the role of self-reflection in digital fluency:
'Instant answers can be a trap. We must teach professionals not just to use AI, but to pause, reflect, and prompt with purpose. That's how we safeguard trust and human connection in this evolving space.'
Elevating the Coaching Profession in a Time of Change
With the EU AI Act in effect since August 2024, professionals in coaching, mentoring, and advisory roles face new expectations for ethical AI use. This program addresses those challenges and reframes them as leadership opportunities.
'The AI Act is just the beginning,' said Başev. 'The real shift is cultural—how we define leadership, ethics, and decision-making in systems we don't fully control.'
Accreditation & Global Collaboration
The program is in the final stage of EMCC Foundation accreditation and will pursue validation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and other global credentialing bodies. WSI DMS is also exploring custom academic modules with international business schools to extend program access and influence.
'This isn't just a course—it's a foundation for future credentials, academic pathways, and global leadership standards,' Başev added.
Now Enrolling – Limited Global Cohort Spaces Available
AI Fluency for Future-Ready Coaches is now open for registration. The program is ideal for certified coaches, mentors, HR leaders, and advisory professionals who want to deepen their ethical leadership and confidently integrate AI into their practice.

The OG of 360 cameras returns –meet the Ricoh Theta A1
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Ricoh's new Theta A1 announcement promotes ruggedness, connectivity and speed in the field. It looks a lot like the brand, with over a decade's heritage in 360, is making a play against the action camera brands Insta360 and GoPro that are topping the best 360 cameras guide at the moment! The new Theta A1 was rumored recently, with discussion of a new battery being a key part of the leaks. A long-lasting replaceable 1,485 mAh battery is now a highlight of the official announcement, as is an optimized video codec that will further improve battery performance. UPDATE: We now know the price of the camea will be €799 (approximately £675 or $912, though US pricing will depend on tariffs at the time). The time in question will not be until September this year. "We're meeting the expectations of field professionals: robustness, speed, and integration," said Thomas Servan, managing director of Ricoh Futures EMEA. "It embodies our vision of useful, connected technology that aligns with the operational needs of our clients.' It is interesting that Ricoh seems to pitch the camera more toward professional customers, even though we've seen so much growth in the 'action camera' end of 360 cameras. Oddly, though, the needs seem to coincide: "rugged, waterproof, dustproof and extreme temperature-resistant casing" says the press release! The camera's spec sheet promises 60MP (11,008 x 5504) stills and has some interesting video formats, up to 8K (but at a maximum of 10fps) but also including 5.7K and 4K. There is even a 2fps option for the 8K, at a choice of 8, 16 or 24Mbps data rates – a lot of potential flexibility for any professional concerned with managing the data as much as quality. There is also the option of 2K or 4K live streaming. The Ricoh Theta A1 now sits in the company's lineup alongside the Theta Z1, which offers the highest resolution for precision scanning, and the Theta X with its integrated screen for versatility. That screen, by the way, makes it a more obvious contender for the consumer space than this business-like piece of kit. You will notice that the Theta SC2 no longer appears in what Ricoh calls its "newly restructured 360° camera lineup, focused squarely on professional use cases." All models, including the new Theta A1, are based on Theta Twin architecture, so compatibility with other Ricoh systems should be straightforward. The APIs and SDKs for this system have been public since 2013, and the Ricoh360 application will work with this camera as well as the others. Image 1 of 4 Gallery of sample images supplied by Ricoh – use the arrows to click through Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4 The device is approximately 225g, IP64 dust and waterproof, and 142mm high (5.9 inches). The 7-element lenses are f/2.4 and the nearest focusing distance is 40cm. Each 1/2-inch sensor is approximately 48MP though, of course, because of the shape some of this data is lost, hence the 60MP files. Files are saved to the 27.5GB internal storage. As noted, the pricing information for Europe is set at €799 and the date is no more precise than "set for September" – we'll keep you posted. Check our guide to the best action cameras to get an idea what kind of thing a more rugged camera is expected to face. If you're interested in 360, don't just check the best 360 camera guide – we also have an Insta360 X4 vs X5 comparison. And have you heard the latest DJI Osmo 360 rumor?

Deutsche Bank Considers Stablecoin or Joining Industry-Led Initiative, Exec Says
Deutsche Bank is studying stablecoins and tokenized deposits as part of its growing digital assets strategy, joining other major banks exploring blockchain infrastructure for payments and settlement. The bank is considering whether to issue its own stablecoin or join a broader industry initiative, Bloomberg reported, citing Sabih Behzad, Deutsche Bank's head of digital assets and currencies transformation. It's also weighing the development of a tokenized deposit system aimed at making payments more efficient, according to the report. Major banks in the U.S. are currently weighing the launch of a joint stablecoin in a bid to fend off competition from the cryptocurrency space. These reportedly include heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC). Regulatory clarity in the European Union and pending stablecoin legislation in the U.S. have helped accelerate stablecoin adoption. Behzad said banks have options that range from acting as reserve managers to launching their own digital tokens. Deutsche Bank has said in a research report that stablecoins are on the verge of mainstream adoption as crypto legislation advances under the Donald Trump administration. Germany's largest lender has, meanwhile, invested in cross-border payments firm Partior and joined Project Agorá, a central bank-backed initiative focused on wholesale tokenized payments.

Britain to allocate $116 billion to R&D in spending plan
LONDON (Reuters) -British finance minister Rachel Reeves will allocate 86 billion pounds ($116 billion) in this week's spending review to fund research and development, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) said on Sunday. It said the package, funding everything from new drug treatments and longer-lasting batteries to artificial intelligence breakthroughs, would be worth over 22.5 billion pounds a year by 2029/30, driving new jobs and economic growth. Reeves will divide more than 2 trillion pounds ($2.7 trillion) of public money between her ministerial colleagues on Wednesday, making choices that will define what the year-old Labour government can achieve in the next four years. The DSIT said the announcement on R&D follows Reeves' commitment last week to 15.6 billion pounds of government investment in local transport in city regions in the Northern England, Midlands and the South West. ($1 = 0.7398 pounds)
