Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the rules and dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation flourishes when people go beyond traditional boundaries and imagine the unseen.
2. Open doors and listen — Be approachable and receptive to new ideas and people. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and be trusted — Trust is the foundation of any innovation ecosystem. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and develop value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help when needed.
5. Seek fairness, not advantage (No Selling) — Build partnerships and relationships on respect and fairness rather than trying to win at others’ expense.
6. Fail and persist — Failure is expected; the important part is to persist and continue moving forward.
7. Pay it forward — Help others without expecting immediate returns. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
