                                    Chapter 494in dynamic relationships with each other across organisational contexts, structures, social norms, group processes, and conventions (Murray et al., 2010). Coherence is about sense-making. The question %u201cWhat is the work?%u201d is being answered through the mechanisms: differentiation (the practice is defined by its differences from other practices), communal specification(the practice is understandable in relation to its distinctive features and perceived suitability), individual specification (actors individually understand their specific tasks and responsibilities), and internalisation (the value, benefits and importance of a practice is understandable). Cognitive participation is about engagement in a complex practice. The question %u201cWho does the work?%u201d is being answered through mechanisms as initiation (work that brings a practice forth), enrolment (actors working together and organizing themselves to participate), legitimation (ensuring actors that it is right to be involved), and activation (effectively organising the practice into actions, materials and procedures). Collective action is about enacting the practice. The question %u201cHow does the work get done?%u201d is being answered through the mechanisms: interactional workability (how actors operationalise the practice), relational integration(the way a practice is mediated and understood within the networks of people around it), skill set workability (the allocation and distribution of work that underpins the division of labour as a practice is conducted), and contextual integration (the incorporation of a practice within a social context). Reflexive monitoring is about evaluating and appraising the practice. The question %u201cHow is the work understood?%u201d is being answered through mechanisms as systematization (actors collect information to determine how effective and useful the practice is), communal appraisal (formal or informal evaluation of the worth of a practice in an organised systematic manner), individual appraisal (experiential and unsystematic appraisal of the effect of the practice), and reconfiguration (appraisal leads to attempts
