Enterprise Accessibility Program & Governance

Build accessibility at scale

Put standards, ownership, procurement, review, training, and measurement into the normal machinery of digital delivery.

Call us when.

Start here when this is the situation in front of you.

  1. S/01

    The same defects recur across releases.

  2. S/02

    Accessibility appears late in delivery.

  3. S/03

    Vendors introduce inconsistent quality.

  4. S/04

    Ownership changes from project to project.

  5. S/05

    Leadership lacks useful accessibility measures.

What changes.

What is different when the work is done — things you can point to, not adjectives.

  1. Change 01

    Accessibility checkpoints exist in design and delivery workflows.

  2. Change 02

    Vendor requirements include accessibility expectations.

  3. Change 03

    Critical accessibility decisions have named owners.

  4. Change 04

    Defect and review data are visible through an agreed measurement process.

Accessibility built into delivery.

Context

The enterprise program embedded WCAG expectations, VPAT reviews, vendor requirements, delivery gates, training, and KPI reporting and reported an 18% defect reduction within six months.

Provenance

Accessibility governance at enterprise scale — measured during the engagement.Read the case: Accessibility built into delivery. →
Four-phase accessibility program model. Assess and engage: evaluate maturity, identify gaps, align stakeholders. Educate, train, innovate: deliver training, build knowledge base, introduce shift-left practices. Integrate and improve: embed checkpoints, update SOWs, launch KPI dashboards. Govern and standardise: establish standards, define roles, monitor and enforce compliance.

Business pattern

Recurring accessibility failures usually indicate a delivery-system problem, not an awareness problem.
