The rule of three is a writing principle that is based on the idea that information is best processed through pattern recognition and brevity, with three being the smallest number of elements required to create memorable patterns. It is pervasive through some of our greatest stories and speeches and has been used as a basis for military planning, business management and political manifestos. In our latest newsletter, the WTW Research Network happily follows this rule with the release of three significant publications from across our research portfolio.
At New York Climate Week we were delighted to see the launch of a new whitepaper, written alongside partners at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia University, focussing on the impact of climate litigation on the insurance market.
Secondly, a new WTW podcast - Geopolcast – is live, providing commentary and expert opinion on some of the most pressing geopolitical issues globally. The first edition features Lord Jonathan Evans, Director-General of MI5 until 2013, and Stuart Ashworth, who leads WTW's political risk business, and looks at the importance of geopolitics in the boardroom. We would also recommend that you listen to recording of our webinar WTW Outsmarting Uncertainty on September, 21 which will allow you to eavesdrop on simulated boardroom discussions during a fictional geopolitical risk scenario, echoing many of the tensions companies are currently wrestling with.
Finally, earlier this quarter our WTW Natural Catastrophe Review combined perspectives from our research partners and experts across WTW to explore some of the physical, vulnerability and socio-economic factors that contributed to natural disasters in the first half of 2023. Through this, we aim to provide a different reflection on the impact of natural catastrophe risk, lessons learned and emerging trends.
As always, please do get in touch with any questions or for more information on how we can support your conversations.
