Greek term or phrase: συλλογικότητα
Η εταιρεία μας όντως με *συλλογικότητα* και οργανωμένη στρατηγική αποδεικνύει εξελικτικά την αποτελεσματικότητά της.

I understand the meaning (I think) but I can't find an English term that "sounds good". Can anybody help? (collective approach? solidarity? - I'm allowed some flexibility in the translation here)
