Under a school competition, we were 4 students working together to build a recommendation to a real company. We had to use a newly introduced method called Blue Ocean Strategy which suppose to approach the market in a different way than usuals. So we built our strategy based on our own compréhension of the method. Although we invented a concept according to the conclusions we made. Finally, we presented it as well as we could.
Blue Ocean Strategy is a book written by professors at INSEAD. They argue that companies can succeed by creating ″blue oceans″ of uncontested market space. They assert that these strategic moves create a leap in value while unlocking new demand. The book presents analytical frameworks and tools to foster an organization's ability to systematically create and capture blue oceans.

To analyse an existing market situation using a new method in a short time lapse was a good training. I had to use my knowledge of the concerned sector and I opened my mind to new ways of thinking in order to be creative enough to propose a singular idea. Moreover, this work teached us how to approach a market seeing what could be done completely differently to bring a new offer and not only an added value.
To build a Blue Ocean strategy requires to ignore most of the classical ways of realizing a recommendation for a customer. In fact, we quickly began to think how to not do the same as others in every possible means.
We wanted to propose an unique project reflecting our will of giving a good and useful work. Although, we did our best to make a great concept that the company could actually use, or at least a part of it.
