Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream: Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people look beyond established boundaries and envision the unseen.
2. Open Doors and Listen: Be approachable and receptive to new ideas and people. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected collaborations.
3. Trust and Be Trusted: Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value: Prioritize action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help when you need it.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling): Form relationships based on respect and fairness rather than trying to win 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 immediate expectation of return. Generosity cultivates goodwill and future teamwork.
