Adaptation or Irrelevance: The Nokia Story
During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, the Nokia CEO ended his speech by saying “We didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, tore 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 simple; 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.
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.
To change and improve yourself is to give yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change is like being discarded.
Those who refuse to learn and improve, will one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard and expensive way.

I am a final-year Geological Engineering student at KNUST with practical experience gained through internships at AngloGold Ashanti, Obuasi Mine and GoldStone Akrokeri Limited as a geologist. My journey is marked by a passion for merging technology with geology showcased through the completion of courses in Python, ML, AI and Sustainability from universities and institutions in the USA via Coursera. Proficient in Excel and with a background in Safety and Health from ICMS, I aim to revolutionize the mining industry without compromising safety by blending geological expertise with data-driven insights.
My career goal is to optimize exploration strategies and environmental impact assessments in mining by integrating geological principles with advanced technology. I aspire to contribute to sustainable resource management and environmental conservation through innovative solutions.
While my value lies in bridging the gap between traditional geological practices in the mining sector, my passion is utilizing data-driven insights to create responsible and efficient solutions for geological and other challenges.
