Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people push beyond familiar boundaries and notice what others miss.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Stay accessible and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected collaboration.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins productive innovation communities. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and try again; ask for help when you need it.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building respectful, mutually beneficial relationships rather than trying to win at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected; what matters is persistence and continued progress.
7. Pay It Forward — Help others without expecting immediate returns; generosity cultivates goodwill and future partnerships.
