Ma integration is a mathematical technique that employs the integral formula in order to calculate the areas of objects with different dimensions. The formula is commonly employed in engineering and physics to calculate the center of gravity, mass moment of inertia, and the kinetic energy that moving objects generate. It is also useful in discover this other areas, such as determining the velocity of a object and determining its path.
Integrating work streams requires dedicated and visible leadership as well as clear communication procedures. A common reason for the failure of integration is conflicting cultures, for instance the acute care mindset versus a population-based healthcare vision (Hardy and co. 1999; Coburn 2001). A successful integration requires leaders to advocate and promote a consistent vision for the entire organization, while also creating an environment that is supportive of it.
One of the biggest risks in integration is a loss of key talent. The lag time between new organizational structures and leadership, and the inability to tackle cultural issues can cause highly skilled executives to leave to pursue other opportunities. This loss can be lowered by ensuring the management team remains intact during the transition and by creating a system for employee identification that is based on the talent of employees than seniority.
Internal newsletters, project management tools, and interactive platforms can be used to communicate the progress of integration milestones, while giving stakeholders the chance to give feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are a great way to communicate, maintain momentum, and establish trust and commitment. Regular updates keep employees engaged in the process, while providing evidence of how the integration improved business results and created value for shareholders.
