Our History

The SOLiance Group was formed in January, 2004 when Autumn Trail Associates, Inc., Richard N. Knowles and Associates, Inc., and Moyer and Associates, Inc. decided to join forces to build a stronger offering around our central work. Our common approach is to view organizations as if they are living systems. This approach focuses on creating a dynamical balance among the three core aspects of sustainable leadership:

- Self-Organizing Leadership™;
- Operational Leadership, and
- Strategic Leadership.

Self-Organizing Leadership™, the most underused of the three, opens up vast, proven possibilities for organizational transformation.

 
SOLiance brings a wide set of practical experiences ranging from a total of 34+ years in personnel administration, 60+ years in manufacturing, 15+ years in the not-for-profit community and 20+ years in consulting. Collectively, we have worked with organizations in areas ranging from:

- developing leadership skills;
- intentional change processes;
- process improvement;
- improving community relations;
- safety, and
- team building

Our experience includes working in organizations like city government, manufacturing plants, accounting firms, school boards, hospitals, and public service agencies. We operate from two partnerships, The SOLiance Group, USA based in western New York and The SOLiance Group, Canada based in Peterborough, Ontario. We have experience in working in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
