Professor Ghassan Aouad, President of the CIOB says:
"Having spent 5 years at Loughborough University between 1987 and 1992 studying for my Masters and PhD, I have had hands on experience in realising the benefits of using MERIT as a simulation game. The MERIT game has helped me to have a better understanding of how construction companies operate and assisted me in improving my creative thinking and technical skills. It is an excellent way to apply business management skills in a what-if scenario and learn from mistakes".
