An accessibility strategy helps advance organizational accessibility maturity, reducing risk and building capacity

Often, organizations may appreciate the importance of accessibility, but their accessibility strategy is immature. An immature accessibility strategy is characterized by:

  • Placing the burden on developers to fix accessibility barriers, without a shared responsibility across the workforce
  • An over-reliance on tools for evaluating and correcting accessibility without attention to strengthening processes and practices
  • Delegating responsibility for accessibility to staff members who don’t have authority to influence change
  • Relying on a few accessibility specialists, without a managed process of building accessibility skills and knowledge across the workforce
  • A lack of attention to managing the accessibility risks associated with digital products and services supplied by third-parties
  • An underfunded grassroots effort without leadership support

In each case, an organization leaves itself open to risk, and fails to take advantage of the opportunities an accessibility strategy can bring. If any of these situations are familiar to you, we can help your organization advance its accessibility maturity.

Tackle Accessibility Head-On

There are several common features of an organizational accessibility strategy. But we recognize that organizations looking for accessibility support may find themselves in different situations. For example, your organization may:

  • Be facing an active legal inquiry into digital inaccessibility, or are taking steps to avoid legal investigation
  • Be implementing a digital transformation initiative, and want to be sure that accessibility is addressed
  • Have already taken steps to establish an accessibility strategy, and want to develop it further through targeted action.

For any accessibility strategy to be effective, it must be tailored to the unique circumstances of the organization. Our approach to providing accessibility strategy support recognizes the need to understand these circumstances, and then to build a tailored strategy.

The Phases of Accessibility Strategy

Current State Assessment

We start by conducting a current state assessment to evaluate the existing level of maturity of accessibility at your organization. We use this to help ensure that we develop a strategy for advancing accessibility that’s sensitive to the specific circumstances and context of your organization. This involves two stages:

  1. Research, including stakeholder interviews and asset/documentation review
  2. Analysis, using our program maturity evaluation framework

Roadmap for Advancing Accessibility

Based on the current state analysis, and in partnership with you, we create a strategic roadmap for building organizational accessibility capacity in a sustainable way. Our roadmaps are unique to each client’s situation, but typically include:

  • Advice on implementing an accessibility program structure to support organizational efforts
  • Resources to support creating an organizational policy framework to communicate accessibility commitment and requirements
  • Planning for ensuring accessibility is addressed in new digital resources, and remediating legacy content
  • Guidance on building internal accessibility knowledge and skills
  • Support on including accessibility in procurement processes
  • Ways to measure and communicate progress towards greater accessibility maturity

If you already have an accessibility strategy in place and are looking for support in executing specific aspects of your strategy, we can help you too.
