Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation emerges when people look beyond traditional limits and imagine new possibilities.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Stay approachable and receptive to fresh ideas and new contacts; attentive listening often uncovers unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins collaborative innovation. Take small, calculated risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try things, learn from setbacks, and iterate; ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building respectful, reciprocal relationships rather than trying to win 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.
