Rules of I&E Network:

2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to people and ideas; attentive listening leads to unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Build mutual confidence by taking small, collaborative risks; trust is the groundwork for innovation networks.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection: try things, learn from failures, and iterate. Ask for help and seek input.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Foster relationships based on respect and equity instead of trying to gain at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Accept failure as part of the process, then keep moving forward with determination.
7. Pay It Forward — Offer help without expecting immediate returns; generosity creates goodwill and future collaboration.
