Successful Management of Accessibility Change
Recognizing the necessity for accessibility change is one thing, but knowing how to effectively implement it is another challenge altogether. Where does one begin? Who should be involved? How can it be successfully executed from start to finish?
We help organizational change management to grow organically in inclusive principles and foster a user-first mindset, helping to comply with e.g.; the European Accessibility Act (EAA), the Web Accessibility Directive (WAD), Section 508, and more.

The 4 Principles of Accessibility Change Management
Select Few + Diverse Many
Implementing accessibility change that necessitates a shift in behavior from numerous individuals cannot be solely entrusted to a few individuals.
It is imperative that a larger group is empowered to drive change, rather than simply executing orders from others.
Have To + Want To
Individuals who believe they have the chance to participate in the significant accessibility task will readily volunteer, even alongside their regular duties.
The current employees will contribute their enthusiasm once they are encouraged.
Head + Heart
Most people may not feel motivated to assist you solely based on logical reasoning.
It is essential to acknowledge and address their emotions as well and tap into their genuine and fundamental desire to make a meaningful impact to lead an organization towards a more inclusive tomorrow.
Leadership + Management
To seize the chance to enhance inclusivity, effective leadership is crucial, and it should not solely rely on a single executive.
It encompasses having a clear vision, recognizing opportunities, inspiring action, and fostering a culture of celebration, alongside the necessary managerial procedures.
