Ma integration is a mathematical process that uses the integral formula to calculate the areas of objects with different dimensions. The formula is often used in physics and engineering to calculate center of gravity, mass moment of inertia, and the kinetic energy of objects moving. It is also useful in other areas such as determining the speed of an object and determining its path.
To manage the integration of workstreams you need a dedicated and visible leader as well as clear communication procedures. The most common cause of failing to integrate is clashing cultures, like an acute care mindset as opposed to an approach to healthcare that is based on the population (Hardy et al. 1999; Coburn 2001). Successful integration requires leaders to promote and promote a shared vision across the whole company while creating a culture that supports it.
One of the most significant dangers of integration is loss of key talent. The lag time between new management structures and organizational structures, as well as the inability of addressing cultural issues cause talented executives to leave for new opportunities. This loss can be minimized by making sure that the leadership team stays in place throughout the transition and by establishing a system to identify high-performing employees that is based on talent rather than the rank of their position.
Internal newsletters as well as project management tools and interactive platforms are helpful in communicating progress on integration milestones and allowing stakeholders to give feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are another effective communication tool to maintain momentum, increase trust and confidence and address any concerns. Regular updates keep the employees engaged in the process while highlighting how the integration has resulted in better business results and has created value for shareholders.
