Ma Integration – Managing the Integration of Work Streams

reising-finanz.de

Ma integration is a mathematical method which employs the integral formula in order to calculate the areas of objects that have different dimensions. In engineering and physics, the formula is used to calculate the center of gravity, mass moments 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 and finding its trajectory.

To manage the integration of workstreams, you require a committed and visible leader, as well as clear communication processes. One of the most common reasons for the failure of integration is conflicting cultural norms, for example, an acute care mindset versus health care that is based on a population-based perspective (Hardy and co. 1999; Coburn 2001). Leaders must support and promote one vision throughout the combined organization, while establishing an environment that promotes this vision.

One of the biggest risk of integration is a loss of key talent. The time lag between new organizational structures and leadership as well as the inability of addressing cultural issues can cause highly skilled executives to leave for other opportunities. This loss can be minimized by ensuring that the leadership team stays intact during the transition, and by creating an employee identification system that is based on talent than seniority.

Internal newsletters, project-management tools, and interactive platforms can all be used to inform stakeholders of the progress of integration milestones while allowing stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback. Meetings with stakeholders are an excellent way to share information, maintain momentum, and build trust and engage. Regular updates keep employees engaged in the process, while highlighting how the integration has enhanced business results and added value for shareholders.
