Submitted at 1/19/2010 1:30:23 PM I have a guilty pleasure. I am addicted to the year-end lists: the round-ups, the best ofs, the tops, the bottoms. The decade turn has been especially delicious, though the debate over what to call the first part of the twenty-first century is endlessly grating--who thinks the riff on the aughts as "the naughties" is actually funny? But those lists do have value. They prompt us to reflect on progress (or lack thereof), and shifts in thinking (our own and in our culture). This year, as I started my own practice, I began to think through what the right formula might be for a new type of creative organization. What kind of structure could best cultivate the type of design and strategy, consulting, and often the more we grow, the more and reach.

Today, Nokia stands at a fascinating fork in the road. Let's consider the facts: first, and most unavoidably, the company is the largest manufacturer of cellphones in the world by a truly sobering margin. At every end of the spectrum, in every market segment, Nokia is successfully pushing phones -- from the highest of the high-end (see Vertu) to the lowest of the low (the ubiquitous 1100 series, which as far as we can tell, remains the best selling phone in history). The kind of stark dominance Nokia has built over its competition certainly isn't toppled overnight, but what might be the company's biggest asset has turned out to be its biggest problem, too: S60. In the past eight years, Nokia's bread- and-butter smartphone platform has gone from a pioneer, to a piece of the wireless pie for even redefine it. inevitable leap into smartphone -- Maemo's intended for staple, to an industry senior a goliath like Nokia to rest on its Not all is lost, though.
