Hello All, My 2 cents - I agree with Denis and I would simply suggest add of couple names of leaders in business who have developed accessible for many reasons including competitive edge and the right thing to do... Steve Jobs was a leader whose company did some great things for a11y. When I think back on the slides I do not recall a slide of leaders that did it because it made business. Leadership by example is a great tool in business and I believe Steve Jobs as the Leader of Apple set great examples of creativity with a11y from all that I read.
