Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow,
we lost”
During the press conference to announce NOKIA
being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his
speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon
saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.
Nokia has been a respectable company. They
didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too
fast. Their opponents were too powerful.
They missed out on LEARNING, they missed out on CHANGING,
and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they
miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.
The message of this story is, if you don’t
change, you shall be removed from the competition.
It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new
things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you
will be eliminated.
Conclusion:
1.
The advantage you have yesterday will be
replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything wrong, as
long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and
fail.
2.
To change and improve you is giving yourself
a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded.
Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become
redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a
hard & expensive way.
3.
Improvement is always open to those who are
willing and determined to do it gradually.
