When RMS Titanic turned, too late to avoid the iceberg, the glancing collision breached 5 of 16 watertight compartments, and she could only survive at most 4 flooded compartments. Some speculate if she had reversed her engines and only struck the iceberg head-on, she would have remained afloat, though crippled.
I don't know that Nokia could have executed such a "head-on" for their crises, though the "burning platform" memo is regarded as a mistake by many. Would you take your analogy that far - Nokia could have faced the problem head-on?
