Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people look beyond familiar limits and notice what others miss.
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 innovation networks. Take small risks together to build mutual confidence and teamwork.
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) — Foster partnerships based on respect and equity 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 cultivates goodwill and future collaboration.
