Rainfall is more frequent and the lack of warmth means that objects get wetter, creating a risk of damp and mould formation. Furthermore, cold parts of the world compound this problem by creating icy surfaces, which are dangerous to navigate for both people and cars.

The bulletproof comms platform that the punters love or the revolving door of meh that doesn’t resonate with customers costs you confidence on the inside or both, depending on your setup across internal stakeholders and external partners. Once you get on that hamster wheel, jumping off can feel impossible.
