Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking; innovation emerges when people push beyond established boundaries and notice what others overlook.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new ideas; active listening creates chances for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins collaboration. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection: try, fail, learn, iterate, and ask for help.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Build partnerships on respect and fairness instead of trying to "win" at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected and acceptable; the essential part is to persist and move forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Help others without expecting immediate returns; generosity plants the seeds for future collaboration.
