Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation often comes from looking beyond established boundaries and imagining new possibilities.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates room for unexpected collaborations.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try things, learn from failures, and iterate; ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building relationships and partnerships based on respect, not on gaining the upper hand.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is part of the process; the important thing is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
