"The current research on collective cognition in organizations offers practitioners the opportunity to see organizational change issues in a different light. While new research knowledge in areas such as collective memory may reinforce some things practitioners know to be true, more often it brings disconfirming insights. As practitioners, our role and responsibility are to both seek out and be open to new research that enhances our ability to work more effectively in and between organizations."
