Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation comes from looking beyond accepted limits and imagining what isn’t yet visible.
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 strong innovation community. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and try again; seek assistance and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Form relationships based on respect and equity, not by trying to gain at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected and acceptable; the important part is to persist and continue moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Help others without expecting immediate rewards. Generosity plants the seeds for future collaboration.
