Ma integration is a mathematical process that uses the integral formula to calculate areas of objects that vary in dimensions. The formula is commonly used in physics and engineering to calculate the center of gravity, mass moment of inertia and the kinetic energy of moving objects. It is also useful in other fields such as determining the velocity of a object and determining its trajectory.
To ensure the integration of workstreams, you need a dedicated and visible leader as well as clear communication procedures. The most common cause of the failure of integration is conflicting cultures, such as an acute-care mindset versus the concept of a healthcare system that is based on population (Hardy et al. 1999; Coburn 2001). Successful integration requires leaders to advocate and support a single vision across the combined company while creating a culture that supports it.
One of the biggest risks of integration is the loss of top talent. Inability to address culture issues and the lag between the new organizational structures and leadership, management and leadership causes highly skilled executives to leave to pursue other opportunities. This loss can be lowered by ensuring that the management team remains intact during the transition period and by creating a system for employee identification that is based on talent than seniority.
Internal newsletters and project management tools and interactive platforms are all helpful in communicating progress on integration milestones and allowing stakeholders to give feedback. Stakeholder meetings are a great communication tool to sustain momentum, increase trust and involvement and address any issues. Regular updates keep employees interested throughout the process and explain how the integration has enhanced the business’s performance and has added shareholder value.
