Ma integration is a mathematical process that employs the integral formula in order to determine the area of objects that have different dimensions. In physics and engineering, the formula is used to calculate the center of gravity as well as the mass moments of inertia, as well as kinetic energy for moving objects. It is also useful in other areas such as determining the velocity of a object and determining its trajectory.
The integration of work streams requires dedicated and visible leadership and clear communication processes. Conflicting cultures are a frequent cause of integration failure and can be caused by shifting from an acute-care mindset to a population-based vision (Hardy and others). 1999; Coburn 2001). Leaders must advocate and support one vision throughout the company, while also creating an environment that supports this vision.
One of the most significant risks in integration is a loss of key talent. The time gap between new organizational structures and leadership, and the inability to tackle cultural issues can cause highly skilled executives to leave for new opportunities. This loss can be averted by making sure that the leadership team stays intact throughout the transition and by creating a system to identify employees who are performing well that is based on performance rather than seniority.
Internal newsletters, project management tools, and interactive platforms are all useful for letting stakeholders know how progress is going on integration milestones and allowing stakeholders to give feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are an excellent method to communicate, keep momentum, and increase trust and involvement. Regular updates keep employees active in the process while providing evidence of how the integration improved business results and created value for shareholders.
