Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream. Question conventional assumptions; innovation often comes from thinking beyond familiar limits. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen. Be available to new people and ideas; active listening opens the door to unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted. Trust underpins a healthy innovation community. Take modest risks with others to grow mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value. Prioritize action over perfection: try, fail, learn, and try again. Ask for help and seek feedback.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling). Focus on building respectful, fair partnerships rather than trying to “win” at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist. Failure is expected; the important part is to keep moving forward and learn from setbacks.
7. Pay It Forward. Help others without expecting immediate returns; generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
