Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation often comes from looking beyond established boundaries and noticing what's unseen.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening leads to unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take small risks to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
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) — Focus on respectful relationships and partnership-building rather than trying to win at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is part of the process; the important thing is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns; generosity creates goodwill and future collaboration.
