The 31st edition of MERIT is underway. The time spent trialling and debating strategy, now has to pay dividend.
So, can you run a construction company? The leading teams obviously think they can.
Atkins India team 'Four Strings' has edged ahead with a mere 26 point advantage. but there is only 167 points separating the top six. 'Standing Ove-tion', 'AEC Ltd', 'ABYUDHAY', 'VENUS' and 'Business Gurus' and 'Mavericks' are all close behind the leading team, waiting to pounce.
Sometimes, the early strategy is to build a solid business platform, and reach for the top later. Keep an eye on those further down the list, as this ploy may surprise the early leaders later in the game.
Looking forward to next week!

With the global events of 2020, the Final was held online for the first time in its history. Initially, the hunt was lead by 'AWWinners' from KBR, but as their challenge faded away, 'FALCONS RELOADED' (also from Atkins India) bolstered with strong share price, pursued the now crowned MERIT 2020 Champions through to a close finish. 'AEC' (Andun Engineering Consultants Ltd), 'Zero Calm' (KBR) and 'Sparkles' (Atkins China) all had a strong showing, and should be commended for reaching the Final, but it appears that the winning strategy was that of Atkins India, who also won the Sponsors Award.
MERIT 2020 was the 30th edition of the annual game, and is strongly supported by the Institution of Civil Engineer’s management board, as well as by the Chartered Institute of Building and the Construction Industry Training Board.
72 teams took part in the Early Years of MERIT 2020, with six of the leading teams then being invited to take part in the Final where they competed against each other for a the final six rounds.
