From the Paper:
"The SMTOP model is a Compound Communications model that exploits the benefits of several organizational paradigms and theories. The model uses self-managed teams who are comprised of meticulously selected team members. Similar to the fundamentals of the Congregations Model, the members are grouped together based upon personality, emotional intelligence, and individual's work preferences."SMTOP teams do not have formal, hierarchial structures but rather share the responsibility for governing the team and managing the work. The organization has a facilitator who is the senior organizational leader but this individual does not directly control the group, nor does he or she rate the members. The team's governance and control remains with the team members, who develop the rules of engagement and rate each other.
"The Business Unit Organizational Design is the base for the SMTOP. This is where subject matter experts (SME) in a particular area are brought together to work in the area of their expertise. The SMEs work in the most productive manner because they are extremely well versed in the work. Little to no on-the-job training is needed for the team members."
