Ma integration is a mathematical process which uses the integral formula in order to determine areas of objects in varying dimensions. The formula is often used in physics and engineering to calculate the center of gravity, mass moment of inertia and the kinetic energy of moving objects. It can also be useful in other fields, such as determining the speed of an object as well as determining its trajectory.
In order to manage the integration of work streams requires committed and visible leadership, as well as clear communication processes. Conflicting cultures are the most common cause of integration failure like shifting from an acute care mentality to a vision based on population (Hardy and others). 1999; Coburn 2001). Leaders must support and promote the same vision throughout the company, while also creating an environment that is supportive of this vision.
One of the biggest dangers of integration is loss of top talent. The time gap between new organizational structures and leadership and the inability to tackle cultural issues lead to talented executives leaving for new opportunities. This loss can be averted by ensuring that the leadership team remains intact throughout the transition and also by establishing a system to identify employees who are performing well that is based on their talent rather than the rank of their position.
Internal newsletters, project-management tools, and interactive platforms can be used to share the progress made on integration milestones and allowing stakeholders the opportunity to offer feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are an excellent method to communicate, keep momentum, and establish trust and involvement. Regular updates keep employees engaged in the process and highlight how the integration has enhanced the business’s performance and added shareholder value.
