It’s a good question I think. In my experience, it is key to talk to people as much as possible and take time to really understand what is going on. I always find this difficult to do in an integration as there is so much going on and there is a lot of time pressure to get things done, but I keep reminding myself how important it is to take time and have the informal conversations. People will often tell you if something is going badly from their perspective when they realize you are honestly interested in learning what they think.
