Blue Opal Strategies LLC, based in Boulder, Colorado, is devoted to helping clients improve performance and increase value in an ever more complex global business environment.

Clients hire Blue Opal when they need to translate emerging strategies into new internal practices that support real, measurable change at all levels of the organization.   We respond with practical tools for the translation of your strategy into concrete business models and plans, measurable performance objectives, required cultural change, leadership development and coaching.

Blue Opal Strategies LLC is an independent coaching and consulting firm run by Dan Montgomery, a veteran of two major consulting firms, and a former senior manager in industries including health care, technology, and banking. As an independent, we are able to guarantee our clients a "what you see is what you get" service promise, unlike larger firms. Through a network of local and global alliances with the most creative collaborators we can find, Blue Opal can put together the right team of trainers, researchers, consultants or facilitators for the job, depending on your needs.
