One of the key challenges to engineering organizations is how to develop systems with improved productivity and performance. The renewed discussions have been delineated regarding the innovative design, requirements engineering and systems practice. Researchers disclosed that the two powerful means of innovative system development – design thinking and systems thinking ‐‐ promote performance independently, however, their synergy effect is yet to be explored. This paper investigates whether and how their principles and tools could jointly influence the performance of innovative system development. A combined method of both is suggested based on the survey results in Norwegian high‐tech organizations.
