Nokia suffers from the mythical man-month. They've only recently discovered that throwing 6,000 engineers at Symbian didn't make it better.

But to be fair - they have now hired another 6000 HR managers to work out why not

Don't worry they have set up a series of "Strategy Boutiques" (seriously!) to get over it
