THE FINAL RESULT:  "'Just Engineers' are crowned the 2023 Champions!"

The final round of the Competition saw "Just Engineers" pull way from their nearest rivals with 5% growth to deservedly be crowned the University of Melbourne Enginuity 2023 Champions with an impressive finishing score of 1,753 pts, and a 100 point gap to their nearest challengers, and ultimately their success owed much to them demonstrating one of the guiding principles in running a successful business, consistency, having led the competition for the final 3 rounds, and only being out of the top four on one occasion.

In a final round in which 88% of the teams posted positive growth figures, behind the Champions "10 Percent" held onto the Runners Up spot, but only just as a strong finish from the "The North Pacific Group" saw them move to within just 4 points in 3rd. "WE 2 N" made a late surge up to 4th after posting the best performance in the final round, a hugely impressive 19% improvement that enabled them to climb 7 places.

In the final analysis 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 7 simulated quarters of management.
