Prof. Milan Radosavljevic

Founder & Principal Consultant

The first Slovenian to reach Executive level in multiple UK higher education institutions, Professor Radosavljevic has spent three decades leading organisations, building research portfolios, and developing the next generation of high-performing leaders.

His career spans Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Commercial), Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation & Engagement, and Director roles — giving him a rare perspective that bridges academia, industry, and public sector leadership.

This is not consulting built on theory observed from the outside. Every framework, every approach, every insight comes from having actually led organisations, run research programmes, built startup ecosystems, and sat in the rooms where difficult decisions are made.

Today, through Kompetenca, he works with leaders and organisations ready to close the gap between where they are and what they are truly capable of.

Our Principles

The beliefs that underpin every engagement, every programme, and every conversation.

Lived Experience

We do not teach what we have only studied. Every framework is built on decades of actually leading organisations through transformation, growth, and challenge.

Practical Rigor

Academic depth without the ivory tower. We combine research-backed insights with real-world applicability — because ideas only matter when they change behaviour.

Sustained Growth

High performance is not a one-off intervention. We design for lasting change — building systems, habits, and cultures that continue to deliver long after our engagement ends.

Radical Honesty

The gap between competence and performance is often uncomfortable to confront. We create the conditions where leaders can see clearly, decide bravely, and act decisively.

Selected Publications

Research and writing that bridges academic rigour with practical application.
