Brainstorming sessions can be structured to foster more innovative ideas by creating an open and non-judgmental environment. Encourage participants to think outside the box and share all ideas, no matter how outlandish they may seem. Use techniques such as mind mapping or the SCAMPER method (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) to stimulate creative thinking. Break the session into different stages, starting with idea generation, then categorization, and finally evaluation and selection. It's also beneficial to include people from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to bring in a variety of perspectives.
