AB  - Collaboration was initiated between the School of Teacher Education and Training (STET) of the North-West
University and Department of Statistics and Operations Research (DSOR) of the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences
University, in two provinces of South Africa. Objectives were set for the envisaged relationship. A seminar was then
held on Friday, 10 March, 2017, between these two groups with the Department of Computer Science leadership also
in attendance. Amongst those who were invited to the seminar were the Acting Dean of the School of Science and
Technology (SST), the Director of STET as well as the DSOR doctoral candidate on campus. The theme and focus of
this collaboration between the two institutions were influenced and guided by critical discussions on the following:
crowd sourcing, entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, management, risk taking, social responsibility, synergy,
teamwork and value engineering were concepts that emerged from the deliberations and/or were implied and realised.
A combination of both desktop literature study and analyses of conversations emerging from the seminar yielded a joint
manuscript. It is against this background that this article seeks to present an overview of the envisaged benefits of such
an initiative and propose guidelines for improved performance within an academic context (s).
