Ma integration is a mathematical method which employs the integral formula to calculate the areas of objects that have different dimensions. In the fields of engineering and physics this formula is used to calculate the center of gravity, mass moments of inertia, as well as the kinetic energy of moving objects. It is also useful in other fields such as determining the speed of an object as well as determining its trajectory.
To ensure the integration of workstreams, you need a dedicated and visible leader as well as clear communication processes. A common reason for integration failure is clashing cultures, like an acute care mindset versus health care that is based on a population-based perspective (Hardy et al. 1999; Coburn 2001). Successful integration requires leaders to advocate and promote a shared vision across the combined company, while also fostering a culture that supports it.
One of the most significant risks in integration is a loss of key talent. Inability to address culture issues and the gap between new organizational structures and leadership, management and leadership causes talented executives to move on to other opportunities. This loss can be minimized by making sure that the leadership team stays in place throughout the transition and by establishing a process to identify high-performing employees that is based on talent rather than seniority.
Internal newsletters, project management tools, and interactive platforms can all be used to communicate the progress of integration milestones while allowing stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are a great way to share information, maintain momentum, and establish trust and engagement. Regular updates keep the employees engaged in the process while explaining how the integration has improved business results and created value for shareholders.
