Extract

We end this special issue with a case study (Darsø 2004) of how Miha Pogacnik, virtuoso violinist and cultural ambassador of Slovenia, works to inspire and engage artful behaviour. Miha's interpretations of musical masterpieces illuminate universal human archetypes, which are profoundly meaningful to individuals as well as to organisations.

Music reaches of all the arts the most, the deepest into our experience.

Miha Pogacnik

At a time when pressures for change are at their highest, from globalisation, new technologies, product and process innovations, successful business leaders need to be at their creative best just to survive. Creativity is the hallmark of art, and artists are increasingly a source of inspiration for entrepreneurs world-wide.

Miha Pogacnik's unique contribution stems from this new consciousness, the need for creativity, imagination and perfection in business. Time after time, his input in countless business conferences has been magnificent, unexpected and unique. Through music and art, Miha Pogacnik ignites a new force in us, the power of rising above our old selves in perceiving problems and opportunities in an entirely new light, and thus striking in new directions. Miha is truly at the leading edge of business as we move towards the 21st century.

Marcello Palazzi, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Progressio Foundation Rotterdam, Netherlands (Balough 1996)

Miha Pogacnik saw the potential of Art & Business long before anyone else and has worked in the field for more than 20 years.
