Dr. Michael E Nagel

Founder, Collective Breakthroughs

Michael E Nagel is a researcher-practitioner with 25+ years of experience spanning Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and international organizations. He developed Breakthrough Intelligence (BIQ) — the science that explains how organizations achieve extraordinary collective results. His research is informed by engagement across hundreds of organizations and draws on a lineage connected to Harvard Business Publishing's Balanced Scorecard work with Robert Kaplan and David Norton, and doctoral examination by scholars at Oxford and the Herbert Simon Institute at University of Manchester. A former Senior Vice President at Palladium – the global strategy and research firm behind that Balanced Scorecard work – and an organizational leadership practitioner with the Center for Creative Leadership, he brings a rare combination of executive credibility and scientific rigor.
