Steve Brown, Nelson CEO

Nelson President & CEO Steve Brown talks about leading the digital transformation at a 110 year old business known as ‘that textbook company,’ moving from paper output into an immersive digital learning platform called EDWIN, why he insisted that NO users manual be required & that information be ONLY one click away, leveraging AI/generative AI/large language models, why his educational industry peers don’t like it when he uses the terms ‘customers’ or ‘consumers,’ the need to build a ‘safe sandbox’ for learning, why his legacy of empathetic leadership will be measured in GDP advances, and the 'root cause' need to get down to that FIFTH iteration of asking ‘WHY??’
