Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people look beyond familiar limits and imagine new possibilities.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new ideas and people; attentive listening creates unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins collaborative innovation. Take small risks together to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection: try, learn from setbacks, iterate, and ask for help.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Cultivate relationships based on respect and reciprocity rather than competing to “win” at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is part of the process; the important thing is to continue pushing forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns; generosity fosters future collaboration.
