Growing enterprises, regardless of age or industry, are striving to become "digital natives" in the way their executives and employees think, produce and operate. IDC defines a DNE as an entity that can scale and innovate magnitudes faster than traditional businesses.

Industry leaders and companies with the largest growth depend on their ability to innovate and disrupt existing business/ industries.

To stay competitive, organizations need to learn to innovate more rapidly, stay in touch with customer needs, harness real-time data and decision-making, and incorporate innovative technologies. This requires a more open, innovative culture that can provide alignment to strategic priorities, programs and processes.

One part of becoming a digital native enterprise is changing your organizational culture to be more innovative or "start-up", with these steps:
