THE FINAL RESULT:  "Veni, vidi, vici! for 'Sigma'"

"I Came, I Saw, I Conquered". Way back in history, Julius Caesar's sent those famous words in a message back to the Roman Senate in recognition of a decisive victory. And so it was for "Sigma", who deservedly became the Birmingham City University Enginuity 2026 Competition (B) Champions with a highly impressive finishing score of 1,844 pts, and a decisive margin of victory of 92 points. Ultimately their success owed much to them demonstrating one of the guiding principles in running a successful business, consistency, having led the Competition for 3 of the 5 rounds.

Behind the Champions "OneWorld Construction Ltd" matched the Champions with a 9% improvement in the final round to climb one place and finish Runners Up, but there was just 11 points separating them from the "Buildaholics" in 3rd.

In the final analysis ALL 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.
