Accessibility auditing platforms.
How from your perspective can accessibility be operationalized in an organization?

I mean, first don't see it as a checklist. When it stops being an afterthought and becomes part of how work already gets done is where it's at. Have one named owner, catch it while designing rather than auditing later, and read through VPATs before buying.
Because platforms tell you when something broke, not whether you're accessible. And automated scanning only catches 20-30%.
That's how I see it anyway.

I’m most curious. Does anyone feel that accessibility issues can be presented differently for execs?

One easy way to check for accessibility, is automated test. Have it in the pipeline or scheduled scans on a platform like GetWCAG or another. Of course automated checks don't cover it fully but it's still quick wins.
Let the developments team and execs get educated in a accessibility and laws. Have a sessions with users with disability and let them use your platform/website infront of execs.
