Ma integration is a mathematic process which uses the integral formula in order to determine areas of objects in various dimensions. In physics and engineering, the formula is used to calculate the center of gravity and mass moments of inertia, and the kinetic energy of moving objects. It can also be used to determine the speed of an item and its trajectory.
Integrating work streams requires dedicated and visible leadership as well as clear communication procedures. Conflicting cultures are a frequent reason for failure to integrate and can be caused by the shift 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 organization, while creating a culture that supports this vision.
Loss of key talent is one of the most significant risks of integration. The lag between the new organizational structures and leadership, and the inability of addressing cultural issues can cause highly skilled executives to leave to pursue other opportunities. This loss could be prevented by making sure that the leadership team stays intact throughout the transition and also by establishing a system for identifying employees who perform 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 communicate progress on integration milestones while giving stakeholders the chance to offer feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are a great way to communicate, maintain momentum, and build trust and involvement. Regular updates keep the workforce engaged in the process, while explaining how the integration has increased business performance and created value for shareholders.
