Miha Pogacnik
Miha Pogacnik is at the vanguard of innovation. A classical concert
violinist, he is world-renowned for inspiring organizational
transformation and leadership. Miha Pogacnik offers an original
response to today's quest of the business world for innovation and
leadership. Hailed by The Guardian, London, as an artist who is making
“hard-nosed executives turn to the world of creative talent in a
pragmatic effort to improve efficiency.” He is renowned for setting the
world standard in “Art and Business”.
After completing a Fulbright Scholarship, Miha’s intellectual curiosity, joie de vivre and vision to position the arts as a driver for social change, led him to step outside the parameters of a classical concert violinist. Why? Because “creativity and innovation are primary business skills central to growth and sustainability. If you add passion, courage, performance and imagination, you have the qualities that artists live by. By establishing a new relationship between the arts and business, one in which I bring the profound musical process to the corporate floor and use the arts as an organizational development tool, bold visions can be considered and realized. The linear and rational must fuse with inspiration, beauty and passion for change to be implemented.”
Miha taps the largely unexplored potential of art as a significant force for productivity, creativity, and organizational renewal by:
inspiring business leaders around the world to “think out of the box”;
helping teams intensify the spirit of innovation, leading them towards new ways of listening to themselves and to others by tapping the pathways of their intellect and emotion;
using music to enhance understanding of the most pressing demands of business, ranging from the search for excellence and quality, to problem-solving and leadership.
Miha is also the Cultural Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia since 1992. In a unique role of a roving diplomat, through his presentations and intercultural festivals around the world, he generates good will and a new focus on the role of the arts.
