The document discusses collective competence and how it develops a greater cognitive capacity than individuals alone. Collective competence emerges when groups make collective sense of their work environment, develop a shared knowledge base, and have interdependency. It involves having a common vision, leadership to build a shared identity, and decision making processes like using the same references, language, and memories. Developing collective competence also requires reducing hierarchy, sharing decisions and recognition, fostering informal relationships and a sense of community, and focusing on collective benefit.
