New Global AI Graduates Join WSI Network in Helping Businesses Adopt AI Practically

November 27, 2025

Summary: Discover how WSI’s global network of AI-certified consultants helps businesses adopt practical AI solutions for measurable success and digital transformation.

WSI celebrated a busy summer and early fall as new consultants from across North America, Latin America, and Europe completed the company’s AI Certification program. Each graduate is now equipped to help businesses adopt AI in practical, results-driven ways.

We’re proud of the momentum we’re seeing,” said Valerie Brown-Dufour, President of WSI. “These consultants are stepping in with the confidence, tools, and frameworks to guide businesses through AI adoption, always with a practical, results-first mindset.

What They Worked On

The program is hands-on. Participants practiced real scenarios and left with everyday tools they can use with clients, including short AI roadmaps, small pilots to test ideas, checklists to help teams get ready, and quick ways to measure what’s working.
