Were they

A)     an effective team because they went for the curry together

B)      a team that would go for a curry together because they were already an effective team

C)      none of the above, or some other reason causing both, or just unrelated facts…?

As I recall, the report was about the effective team went out regularly and had curries together. 

So I think it was small-scale, informal, non-institutional, and self-driven collaboration. 

Which means we can all make such things happen, if we want to?

Dear Colleagues,

 

Graham Gibbs is reputed to have once reported that the only difference he could find between two programme teams, one high-performing and one not so much, was that the high-performers ate together on a regular basis.  My own institution no longer has any staff-only dining facilities, does yours and does it matter?
