Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people push beyond traditional limits and imagine what others don’t yet see.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new perspectives. Active listening helps create unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins thriving innovation communities. Take modest risks to build mutual confidence and foster collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and iterate; seek assistance and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building respectful relationships and partnerships rather than trying to gain at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected and acceptable; the important part is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns; generosity plants the seeds for future collaboration.
