The art and science of problem solving

In this paper we will document that real-life problem solving in complex situations demands both rational (scientific) and intuitive (artistic) thinking. First, the concepts of art and science will be discussed; differences and similarities will be enhanced. Thereafter the concept of group problem solving facilitation both as science and art will be presented. A case study related to examination’s planning will be discussed to illustrate the main concepts in practice. In addition, other cases studies will also be shortly presented.
