Meet Miha Pogacnik

​Concert violinist Miha Pogacnik adapts innovation in music to business, with awe-inspiring and unique visions of leadership and teamwork.

Innovation, change and creativity are Miha’s primary focal points, and with his unique perceptions of art and business, the former Fullbright Scholar has the ability to use cutting edge techniques to inspire and encourage development for businesses looking for growth and improved results, and to reach their potential.

​Whether it is Bach, Beethoven, Brahms or Bartok, using his consummate violin artistry as a catalyst, Pogacnik "unravels" musical masterpieces. In this way, he explores the parallels between musical and organisational identity and business processes, and enhances understanding of the most pressing demands of business, ranging from the search for excellence, leadership, and innovation, to problem-solving and development, as well as mobilisation around a powerful sense of purpose and direction. He has the exceptional capacity to inspire business leaders to "think outside of the box". His cutting-edge approach fuels organisational and individual development and sheds new perspectives on corporate strategy. The objective of his unique methodology is to help organisations become "masterpieces" by reaching their full potential.

By encouraging businesses to turn their products into ‘masterpieces’, Miha draws apart the various components of music pieces by various composers including Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, to explore, identity and processes, both in music and in business. He believes that with the correct combination and organisation of processes, leadership and innovation, the ‘masterpiece’ can be achieved.

Across the world, for organisations at every level, and at international events, including the World Economic Forum at Davos, Miha attracts and orchestrates workshops, events and speeches, intended to bring together cultures and business ideas to form innovative thinking and inspiring ideas.

He speaks in English, German and Slovene, is President of the Institute for Development of Intercultural Relations through the Arts (IDIART), and serves as Cultural Ambassador of Slovenia.
