How we can help

Customer lifecycle for how you win and serve — EFQM for how the organisation directs, executes, and improves — operationalised on Dynamics 365 CE and Power Platform.

Customer lifecycle

Prospect → Qualify → Propose → Close → Onboard → Support — with Loyalty at the centre. Marketing starts the journey; Sales converts; Service and Field keep customers successful.

Customer lifecycle: Prospecting, Qualifying, Proposing, Closing, Onboarding, and Supporting, with Loyalty at the centre

The lifecycle shows how customers move through your organisation. EFQM shows how the organisation directs, executes, and improves around that journey.

EFQM applied to our software solutions

EFQM defines what excellence looks like. Dynamics 365 CE and Power Platform are how we operationalise it — so strategy, processes, people, and results stay connected in the systems teams actually use.

Customer lifecycle = how you win and serve. EFQM = how the organisation manages excellence around that lifecycle.

01 · Direction

Purpose, strategy & leadership

Clear goals, aligned initiatives, and leadership visibility — so Sales, Service, and Field pull in the same direction.

  • · Strategy & KPI ownership in Dataverse
  • · Executive Power BI & forecast views
  • · Pipeline aligned to strategic priorities

02 · Execution

People, stakeholders & processes

Standard work across the lifecycle — Marketing through Supporting — with roles, automation, and governance that hold up.

  • · CE lifecycle apps (Marketing → Field)
  • · SLAs, work orders, Power Automate
  • · Security roles, DLP, ALM, Copilot assist

03 · Results

Perception, performance & improvement

Evidence of excellence — customer and operational outcomes — feeding the next improvement wave.

  • · CSAT, FCR, win rate, first-time fix
  • · Cost-to-serve & utilisation dashboards
  • · Quarterly roadmap refresh from KPIs

How EFQM maps to what we build

A practical view of excellence criteria against Dynamics 365 CE and Power Platform capabilities.

EFQM area What excellence asks for DinamiKrag software angle
Direction Strategy, goals, leadership alignment Sales forecasting, initiative / KPI tracking in Dataverse, executive Power BI
Customer results Experience, loyalty, consistent service Marketing → Sales → Service → Field lifecycle; cases, entitlements, knowledge
People Enablement, clear roles, guided work Security roles, model-driven / canvas apps, Copilot assistants for standard work
Processes End-to-end, measured, improvable SLAs, work orders, approvals, Power Automate, ALM & environment governance
Partnerships & resources Partners, suppliers, connected estate Power Pages, ERP / IoT integrations, connector governance & DLP
Results & learning Evidence, insight, continuous improvement CSAT / FCR / utilisation dashboards, audit trails, quarterly roadmap refresh

Excellence-aligned roadmap

A focused assessment that uses EFQM Direction / Execution / Results as the lens — then produces a prioritised Dynamics 365 CE & Power Platform roadmap your teams can execute.

  • · Maturity workshops across Marketing, Sales, Service & Field
  • · Gap view against excellence criteria and current platform estate
  • · 12–24 month capability plan with KPIs and wave sequencing

How we talk about it

EFQM defines what excellence looks like. Dynamics 365 and Power Platform are how we operationalise it.

We do not treat EFQM as a slide exercise. We wire Direction, Execution, and Results into the same systems that run your customer lifecycle — so improvement is visible in the work, not only in a report.

How we build a living roadmap
