Stephen Elop Receives “European Communication Award”

Love him or loathe him, Elop has left his footprint on the history of Nokia, making what can safely be described as the most drastic change in Nokia’s history (short of switching from a rubber company to a phone manufacturer). Apparently Elop has been awarded with the European Communication Award for 2013 which:

honours outstanding communications achievements on a European level, and is given to the individual or organisation whose communication efforts over the past year stand out on a European level.

The reason stated for bestowing him with this reward was:

Stephen received the award in recognition of his unique communication style and commitment to which always puts his employees and customers opinions first.

In a way I can see how the “customers opinion” is true to some degree, sure not many wanted WP but in terms of the little things there has been some noticeable feedback response. Such as the Lumia 925 shedding weight and bulk after the Lumia 920 was picked on for those factors, plus the decreased response time for bug fixes and maintenance.
