Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation often comes from looking beyond established limits. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and perspectives. Active listening creates unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take small risks 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) — Focus on building respectful relationships and partnerships instead of trying to "win" at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected and acceptable; the important part is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Offer help without expecting immediate returns. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
