  Effective Requirements Engineering is a crucial activity in softwareintensive
development projects. The human-centric working mode of Design Thinking is
considered a powerful way to complement such activities when designing
innovative systems. Research has already made great strides to illustrate the
benefits of using Design Thinking for Requirements Engineering. However, it has
remained mostly unclear how to actually realize a combination of both. In this
chapter, we contribute an artifact-based model that integrates Design Thinking
and Requirements Engineering for innovative software-intensive systems. Drawing
from our research and project experiences, we suggest three strategies for
tailoring and integrating Design Thinking and Requirements Engineering with
complementary synergies.
