Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation comes from looking beyond familiar boundaries and imagining what’s not yet visible.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected collaborations.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take small risks to build mutual confidence and teamwork.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try things, learn from setbacks, and iterate. Ask for help when you need it.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building respectful, balanced partnerships rather than trying to gain at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is part of the process; the important part is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
