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.

Why:

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:
