- Digital DNA
- Acquiring digital DNA means building digital awareness into the culture and fabric of the company. A company with strong digital DNA usually has an entrepreneurial culture, is adaptable and highly responsive to change, has a collaborative management style, and is relationship-based.
- Digital immigrant
- These companies know they are behind and are aware of the challenges posed by their new competitors. They want to go ‘native,’ but tend to apply Band-Aids to the problem. These are companies like BP that missed the impact on their brand and market perception of today’s technologies after the Gulf Coast oil spill.

Natives are the creators, the ones who get it, who challenge or change business models and succeed in doing so. Think of Special Forces driving down the road at 80 miles an hour, sowing mines for their competitors to hit. These are companies like Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, as well as Wal-Mart and Nike.
