Celestine Achi Launches Free AI Readiness Assessment Tool and Maturity Framework to Accelerate Africa's AI Adoption in PR, Media, and Communications
This dual innovation is designed to democratize access to strategic AI evaluation for businesses, agencies, nonprofits, and public sector entities — with a special focus on public relations, media, and communications professionals.
'AI shouldn't be a privilege for the West. It must be a catalyst for transformation in Africa — starting with those who shape public narratives,' said Celestine Achi, Founder of Cihan Digital Academy and architect of the TABS-D AI Implementation Framework.
Empowering Africa's Future-Ready Workforce
The AI Readiness Assessment Tool, now freely available at www.aipoweredpr.com/#assessment, enables individuals and teams to instantly evaluate their current AI capabilities across key pillars such as strategy, skills, systems, and culture. Upon completion, users receive a customized AI readiness report with practical steps for growth — no technical background required.
The companion AI Maturity Assessment Framework provides a structured pathway for organizations to transition from AI experimentation to enterprise-level integration. Rooted in real-world case studies and tested across PR agencies, newsrooms, and regulatory bodies, the framework allows African leaders to map their journey across five maturity stages: Nascent, Aware, Engaged, Strategic, and Transformational.
Built for Communicators. Designed for Africa.
What sets this initiative apart is its deep contextual relevance. Drawing from Celestine's extensive work with media agencies, government communicators, and enterprise brands across Nigeria and beyond, the tools are optimized for African realities — where connectivity, capacity gaps, and talent development remain major hurdles.
'PR and media professionals are the architects of trust. They deserve the right tools to thrive in this intelligent era,' Achi emphasized. 'With this framework, they can now measure, learn, and lead AI transformation — regardless of their current digital maturity.'
A Movement, Not Just a Tool
Already embraced by industry leaders and professional bodies, the AI Maturity Framework and Readiness Tool are part of the broader AI-Powered PR Ecosystem, a multi-dimensional platform offering:
The AI-Powered PR playbook
An immersive PR simulation game built on the TABS-D framework
Community engagement tools and certification programs

ReCerf Receives its CE Mark, Advancing Access to Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Across Europe
LEATHERHEAD, England, July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MatOrtho® is proud to announce that the ReCerf® Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty (HRA) has received its CE mark, confirming compliance with European safety and performance standards. This important milestone expands access to hip resurfacing, enabling wider availability across the UK, Europe and internationally where CE marking supports market access. 'This is more than a regulatory milestone. It represents two decades of focused effort to improve hip resurfacing through an advanced material,' said Mike Tuke, Founder of MatOrtho. 'That became a possibility with BIOLOX® delta and cooperation with CeramTec A.G. which led in stages to ReCerf – an all-ceramic resurfacing implant that is already delivering excellent results. We're proud to make this more widely available to specialist hip resurfacing surgeons, and patients who want to stay active.' ReCerf is the world's first commercially available ceramic HRA, first approved by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration in November 2024. Since its initial use in 2018, over 1,600 patients have received the device. Patient-reported outcomes are highly positive, and the revision rate remains very low up to six years. Made from BIOLOX® delta ceramic, ReCerf eliminates concerns historically associated with metal-on-metal bearings and preserves more of the patient's natural bone. For surgeons, it offers a familiar procedure underpinned by improved materials, and is supported by a company long recognised as the home of modern hip resurfacing. ReCerf's availability under CE marking is matched by a strong commitment to responsible adoption. MatOrtho supports structured education, careful patient selection, and ongoing clinical monitoring. A peer-led surgeon training programme is already in place to ensure safe and effective use. This achievement strengthens MatOrtho's strategic growth and reaffirms its leadership in pioneering orthopaedic solutions designed to restore normal joint function and support high level activity. For more information visit: About MatOrtho: MatOrtho (formerly Finsbury Orthopaedics) is a global leader in orthopaedic invention and innovation, committed to advancing joint replacement technologies that improve patient outcomes and set new clinical standards.

Microsoft laying off several thousand employees
Microsoft is advancing in its plans to deploy AI across all its products. (AP pic) SAN FRANCISCO : Microsoft today said it was slashing a little less than 4% of its global workforce as it seeks to cut layers of middle management and leverage new technologies. 'We continue to implement organisational changes necessary to best position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace,' a Microsoft spokesman said in an email. The cloud computing tech giant did not disclose the total amount of lost jobs but as of June 2024 it employed 228,000 people, bringing the latest layoffs to about 9,000 people. The job cuts follow a round in May that saw about 6,000 positions culled from its global workforce. The company, which is advancing in its plans to deploy AI across all its products, said it was working to 'empower employees to spend more time focusing on meaningful work by leveraging new technologies and capabilities'. 'Even in the best of times, we have regularly adjusted our workforce to meet the strategic demands of the business,' the company added. The company, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, was one of the first tech giants to double down on artificial intelligence when the launch of ChatGPT in 2022 rocked the tech industry.
