Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people look beyond established boundaries and notice what others miss.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take small risks with others to build confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help and seek feedback.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on mutual respect and partnership instead of trying to gain at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected; the important part is to keep going and learn from setbacks.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
