Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation happens when people look beyond familiar limits and imagine new possibilities.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to others. Active listening creates room for unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins collaborative innovation. Take small risks to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection: try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Build relationships on respect and reciprocity, not on trying to "win" at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is part of the process; the important thing is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Offer support without expecting immediate returns; generosity fosters future collaboration.
