Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation often comes from looking beyond existing boundaries and imagining new possibilities.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and open to new people and ideas; active listening creates chances for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust is central to a healthy innovation community. Take small, mutual risks to build confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection: try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help and seek practical improvements.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Build partnerships on respect and fairness rather than trying to win at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected and part of the process; the important thing is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Help others without expecting immediate returns; generosity cultivates goodwill and future collaboration.
