Brainstorming

En solig måndag i centrala Göteborg tar två 'unga' män tjuren vid hornen och utför en designmetod, det är inte vilken metod som helst utan den ökända gamla fornnordiska metoden hjärnstormning (fri översättning). Vad fick dessa män ut av metoden i fråga? Det finns fint uppraddat (är det ett småländskt ord?) nedan.
