Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people go beyond usual boundaries and imagine the unseen.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new ideas and people. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins any innovation community. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and try again. Ask for help and seek guidance.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Form relationships and partnerships based on respect and reciprocity, not 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 expecting immediate returns. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
