THE FINAL RESULT:  "'Procurement Pro Consulting' are the 2024 Champions!"

In a dramatic final round, "Procurement Pro Consulting" held off a strong challenge from their rivals to emerge as the University of Melbourne Enginuity 2024 Champions with an impressive finishing score of 1,663 pts. Ultimately their success owed much to them demonstrating one of the guiding principles in running a successful business, consistency, having led the competition for 2 of the 5 rounds, and having never been out of the top 8.

The Final Round saw some amazing growth figures for many teams, and none more so than "Sunny Side Up", who produced a stunning final round with 27% growth to lift them off the bottom of the table and up 5 places. At the top of the table 11% growth from "Business Empire Pty Ltd" enabled them to climb 3 places, and almost pipping the Champions, but they had to settle for Runners Up, and the leaders from period 6, "Hexagonal" dropped once place to finish 3rd.

In the final analysis in a high quality Competition all of the teams finished with stronger, more sustainable companies than when they took over in period 5, a testament to the skill and application shown by the management teams in what was a roller coaster of a journey through 5 simulated quarters of management.
