Description

Organizational accessibility maturity can be measured along multiple interconnected dimensions. Maturity growth in large organizations can be challenging due to the nature of these dimensions and the diversity of business units within the organization. Challenges include identifying a plan for each business unit to successfully advance maturity that considers the constraints the business unit is working within and its capacity to grow. Helping each business unit move deliberately towards greater maturity requires understanding the current level of maturity, identifying a set of achievable goals to support the business unit in its progress, taking actions to help move towards these goals, and setting benchmarks against which to measure progress.

TPGi and NBCU partnered to provide NBCU business units with a tool to help them self-assess their current state and identify actions to advance business unit accessibility maturity. These actions prioritized two objectives: 1) to help business units engage more effectively with internal accessibility expertise, tools and support services, and 2) to support business units in integrating accessibility into internal processes.

This presentation provides a case study of our approach, describes the tool we created, and shares some initial findings from the tool in use.
