A seated man speaking into a handheld microphone at what appears to be a talk or interview event. He has light skin, short dark hair, and a short beard, and he is sitting in a black armchair with one leg crossed, gesturing with one hand while holding the microphone with the other. He is wearing a light olive-green jacket over a mustard-yellow shirt, dark pants, and dark shoes. Behind him is a large backdrop split into green (left) and white (right). In the foreground, a large black camera or recording device with cables is positioned in front of him, partly blocking the lower part of the scene.

Cambridge Business Executive Insights Podcast

Neil was interviewed by Jaideep Prabhu for Cambridge Business Executive Insights about the powerful intersection of AI and accessibility.

They discussed how today’s generative AI builds on foundations laid by early speech recognition systems and how AI can make work inherently assistive—from automated notetaking to large-scale compliance analysis.

The conversation explores how inclusive design can drive mainstream innovation, the risks of bias in AI-powered recruitment and decision systems, and why accessibility should be embedded at the design stage, not treated as an afterthought.

One Day in Transformation – Accessibility is a Profit Centre

Neil was interviewed by Rainer Karcher & Andrea Wagner where he talked about accessibility as an economic imperative. Aligning accessibility strategy with the sustainability strategy & co-opting the decarbonisation framework — Scope 1, 2, 3 — to apply it to inclusion. Direct impact. Indirect impact. Influence.

By framing exclusion as pollution — a negative externality where the individual pays, not the company — people understood. The same logic we use for carbon emissions, applied to human exclusion.

That is Twin Transformation in its purest form.
