Guys,
I know emotions have been running high (including myself) since the Elop announcement.. I firmly disagree with this decision as being one of the worst I have seen in my life and the sharemarket drops prove this.
Theres a bunch of shareholders who are proposing a "Plan B" to all this
Summary is:
Agenda
* Return to high growth, high profitability strategy
* Maintain ownership of the software layer on Nokia products (read: no Windows OS)
* Introduce hiring strategy that targets young software talent
* Eliminate outdated and bureaucratic R&D policies to improve efficiency
* Avoid becoming poorly differentiated OEM with low margins and commodity products
Concrete Actions
* Immediate discharge of Stephen Elop as President and CEO of Nokia
* Restructure alliance with Microsoft as tactical exercise focused on North America
* MeeGo will become Nokia’s primary smartphone platform
* Increase the lifespan of Symbian to a minimum of 5 years
* Qt development to focus on MeeGo, but support Symbian too
* End of distributed R&D
* End of R&D outsourcing
* Leadership team shakeup
* Aggressively recruit young software engineers
* Strategy for S40 and Ovi platforms going forward
Spread the news and support this group against the tyrannical decisions made!!
