Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream: Challenge conventional thinking—innovation often comes when people go beyond familiar boundaries. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen: Be accessible and receptive to new people and ideas; active listening uncovers unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted: Trust is central to an innovation ecosystem—take small, measured risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value: Favor action over perfection—try, fail, learn, and iterate; seek help and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling): Build relationships and partnerships on mutual respect instead of trying to "win" at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist: Failure is expected; the important part is to persist and continue moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward: Help others without expecting immediate returns—generosity plants the seeds for goodwill and future collaboration.
