Competition, risk and uncertainty are generating movement in the rankings

 

'Smurf Village' from HKU has moved up 4 places to displace 'Tempe Construction' of HKPolyU from first place with 'Tempe Construction' now second. Chongquing University CIOB Student Center' has risen 8 paces to enter the top six in 3rd place, they could be the first mainland Chinese team in the Final. Glasgow Caledonian's 'Saltire' has also joined the top sixth in 4th place from 10th and maybe we'll see GCal in the Final again. Curtin's 'The Might Ducks' have also joined the top six in 5th place rising from 9th. Curtin are competing to be in the Final for the first time. Australia's Newcastle University's 'UoN Nobbys' have slipped from 3rd to 6th. So we have three new teams in the top six. Those slipping out are 'RMIT CJ Team' down from 2nd to 12th, 'Team 2 Curtin CM' down from 4th to 8th and Lougborough's imaginatively named 'Loughborough' team are down from 6th to 16th .

What this indicates is the turbulence in the rankings generated by the decisions that teams are taking, the competitive market that means not all decisions work out causing some uncertainty.

However there are bigger movements below the top ten as the chasing teams gather to press for the top places. With the average improvement in scores being 45% there is still everything to play for with four more rounds to go. The top six are not yet comfortable so they have to work hard to protect their positions but usually the chasing pack are highly motivated to try harder.

Every decision has an effect and so teams need to be sure that they have organised a disciplined approach and system to decision making so that the consequences of each decision and the risks associate are well understood. This should inform the compromises the teams or Boards of Directors are taking wise and calculated decisions and risks.
