We introduce bootlegging, a structured brainstorming technique particularly suited to multidisciplinary settings. Participants first generate ideas in 2 rough groups, one having to do with users and usage situations and the other pertaining to a specific technology or domain. Results are then randomly combined to form unexpected juxtapositions. These combinations are used as the basis for several quick application brainstorms, after which promising ideas can be fleshed out to complete scenarios. Bootlegging stimulates participants' creativity without abandoning the target domain, and can be run efficiently even without a skilled facilitator. The technique has been successfully used in several thematic workshops.
