Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people look beyond familiar limits and imagine what’s not yet obvious.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be accessible and receptive to new people and perspectives. Active listening creates chances for unexpected collaborations.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins any innovation ecosystem. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and teamwork.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and try again; seek help and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building respectful relationships and partnerships instead of trying to gain 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 cooperation.
