Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream: Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation often comes from looking beyond established limits and imagining what others cannot yet see.
2. Open Doors and Listen: Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening helps uncover unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted: Trust underpins effective innovation communities. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaborative relationships.
4. Experiment and Develop Value: Prioritize action over perfection. Try things, learn from failure, iterate, and ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling): Focus on building respectful, equitable partnerships rather than trying to win at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist: Failure is part of the process. Keep moving forward and maintain persistence.
7. Pay It Forward: Offer help without expecting immediate return. Generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
