Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream. Challenge conventional thinking; innovation often arises when people look beyond traditional limits. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen. Be accessible and receptive to new people and ideas; active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted. Trust is the foundation of innovation ecosystems—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. Seek help and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling). Build relationships and partnerships on mutual respect and fairness rather than trying to “win” at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist. Failure is expected and acceptable; the key is to persist and keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward. Help others without expecting immediate returns; generosity sows goodwill and future collaboration.
