The concept of design has been used in ST prior to the advent of DT. Design in ST is however, different from design in DT. In ST, design is a creative act that attempts at estimating how alternative sets of behaviour would serve specified goals (Pourdehnad et al, 2011). This is preferred within ST as compared to “problem solving” or “planning”( Ackoff, 1981). Design in DT on the other hand, generally refers to applying a designer’s sensibility and methods to problem-solving no matter what the problem is(Pourdehnad et al, 2011). Tim Brown (2008) describes
DT as a methodology for innovation and enablement which helps with the generation of innovative solutions
