The Three Pillars of Nokia Strategy Have All Failed

An anonymous reader writes "'When all 3 legs of your 3-legged strategy fail, what do you do? You rush — run run run — to change your total strategy. But what would a madman do?' Ex-Nokia exec Tommi Ahonen's new article has a few suggestions. Is the Nokia board either asleep at the wheel, or incompetent, or in collusion with the incompetent CEO? Ahonen provides an insider's view not just of how Nokia's Windows phone strategy has failed, but how this has spread to other parts of the company's technology. He says the 'Elop Effect' has 'single-handedly destroyed [...] Europe's biggest tech giant.' He raises the question: Why is Nokia's board failing to act? We've discussed Tommi's articles before, where he was correctly predicting Windows Phone's market failure at a point where others were claiming that 'the Lumia line is, in fact, selling quite nicely.'"

I've been actually missing a good Ahonen troll story.
Lately even comments citing his long-winded ramblings have become rare. Not every story about Nokia gets one that is moderated sufficiently high. I've been almost afraid that he has lost credibility even among Linux zealots. That point-by-point debunking has been published that made the majority of people concerned about Nokia think rationally again. But no, this one has made it again, and how timely: just before Q3 results, and the start of Windows Phone 8 sales. Think of it: even if Tomi will be proven a total ass in the next few years, he will be a well-to-do ass, because of all your traffic generating ad revenue. Help him, he's trying really hard.
