The foregoing shows that there is room for DT to benefit from ST for a number of reasons. One is that ST has already developed a philosophy and tools that have been used and refined over a long period of time which will be of benefit to Design Thinking. This should be feasible as shown by the experiences of interventions that integrate the two. While ST was largely deficit based in that it sought to first understand the problem holistically, it is moving towards the adoption of strength based approaches which is closely related to Solution based approaches like DT.
