If you ask Towers Watson’s Chris Holt, one of the architects of a new terror model, what he fears when he goes to work each morning, the former British Army bomb-disposal officer will respond quickly.
“I don’t actually worry about terrorism on a day-to-day basis,” Holt says.
“I think as a peril, if you’re impacted by terrorism, you are extraordinarily unlucky,” he says, noting that incidents, when they happen, are of course absolutely tragic. “But personally, and hopefully in an informed way, when I go about my daily business, I do not worry about terrorism,” Holt says.Executive Summary With a focus on terror events other than macro jihadi attacks causing billions of dollars in damage, Towers Watson in mid-April introduced a new terrorism risk model called Sunstone. Chris Holt, consulting director and one of Sunstone’s architects, describes the impetus for the model’s creation and its unique features.
