The integration cockpit — turning M&A status into an executable cutover plan, workstream by workstream, blocker by blocker, dollar by dollar.
Integration is the value and the risk: $70.6M of synergy is still unbanked across 4 in-flight brands at 67% average completion, with 8 open blockers gating the cutover. Clear the critical path and bank the run-rate before the next deal.
4 of 4 headline metrics improving vs prior · still off target: Synergy Realized 67.0% vs 70.0%, EBITDA Margin 4.2% vs 6.0%, SG&A Ratio 7.5% vs 7.0%
Open blockers hold the cutover — and $70.6M of unbanked synergy — hostage across the 4 in-flight brands.
Gates the cohort cutover (and the exit).
Purchasing / vendor consolidation is leaking run-rate: $88.28M actual vs $113.5M plan ($-25.2M variance) — it compounds into the forecast quarters.
Owner: Procurement
Digital Ventures Labs is underwater at 1.0x — $26.48M spent against $25.22M realized; halt discretionary spend until capture catches up.
Protect the ≥1.3x deals as the playbook
Faster integration is Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, S.A.'s #1 priority — it is where the deal value is created and where it leaks. This view turns "status" into an executable plan: the 4 in-flight brands, their six workstreams, the blockers in the way, and the ~$70.6M of synergy still unbanked waiting on the cutover.
Do this: work the blocker named in each card first; if none, push the lowest-% workstream to its target date.
Read across each row for the brand's weak spot; read down each column for the workstream that's stuck enterprise-wide. Tint = status; number = % complete.
| Brand | ERP / Ledger | Customer Master | Quoting / CPQ | Tech Stack / Network | Org / Branding | Field / Dispatch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SGRE Battery Solution | 90% | 85% | 70% | 88% | 95% | 75% |

| Siemens Gamesa France | 40% | 45% | 20% | 50% | 70% | 35% |
Do this: assign each open blocker a named owner and a date; the Blocker/High rows are the ones holding synergy hostage.

Do this: the negative-variance programs are leaking run-rate — put a 90-day recovery plan on each before they compound into the forecast quarters.

| P&C insurance consolidation | CFO · Treasury | $50.45M | $50.45M | +$0M | 100% |

Do this: protect the ≥1.3x deals as the playbook; for sub-1x deals, freeze discretionary integration spend until synergy capture catches up.
