CTRL + SHIFT LIVE: Driving business growth through advanced business automation
Do you have the right tools and technology in place, but still struggle to achieve the business results you’re aiming for? Many organisations are heavily investing in business automation, CRM, AI and data, yet still find it difficult to make commercial growth truly predictable. Processes may be optimised, but teams, systems and insights often still operate in silos.
During CTRL+SHIFT LIVE, you’ll discover how to connect automation, AI and data into one intelligent revenue engine. We’ll show how marketing, sales, service and technology can come together in a connected growth system that enables better decision-making, more efficient processes and more predictable revenue growth. With keynote speaker Annemarie van Gaal, you’ll also gain a practical perspective on entrepreneurship and growth in a constantly evolving market.
An event you won’t want to miss!

Moving from isolated improvements to sustainable growth requires more than better tools or additional dashboards. It calls for alignment across data, processes and decision-making. Throughout the afternoon, we’ll guide you through three essential building blocks:
Commercial leadership that delivers: How to ensure marketing and sales work from the same insights, and how to steer performance using metrics that genuinely reflect growth, such as pipeline velocity and reliable lead scoring.
AI as an accelerator, not an end in itself: What AI can actually mean for your commercial process. From predictive models to smart automation, without it becoming complex or isolated, and always linked to concrete business value.
Technology that evolves with your organisation: How to connect systems logically and make scalable choices, so that technology supports your growth rather than holding it back.
By the end of the afternoon, you’ll leave not just with inspiration, but with clear direction:
A better understanding of where the greatest opportunities lie within your commercial ecosystem
Insight into how to better align marketing, sales and service
Practical examples of AI applications that deliver immediate value
The ability to make more informed decisions around tooling and architecture
Concrete starting points to make growth more predictable

It’s designed for professionals who are responsible for growth, or who directly influence it. From leaders in marketing, sales, service and IT to senior specialists working daily with processes, tools and data. Particularly within larger organisations (200+ employees), where multiple teams, systems and processes intersect, there is a growing need for greater alignment. Not just another optimisation, but a way of working where everything fits together and contributes directly to growth.
