Social Contract
I am joining CRIN, a community of people and organizations committed to becoming the global leader in producing cleaner hydrocarbon energy from source to end use by sharing a common faith in continuously growing the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. We are an inclusive, silo-busting, ego-shrinking, ecosystem-building, entrepreneur-focused, wide-open, social-barrier-smashing community.
Membership in CRIN does not come with a discrete financial commitment but a commitment to invest my appropriate time and effort in advancing our vision through innovation and technology. This agreement describes what it means to innovate together. It defines what we allow and pursue versus what we resist and avoid. It is a guide and litmus test for the quality of our decisions, actions and ways of being together. By signing, I agree to join CRIN to embrace and promote this set of values and principles:
Through embracing these values and principles, we will:
- Engage and encourage broad participation.
- Create an efficient, self-sustaining innovation ecosystem.
- Increase the frequency of, and reduce the timelines for, the cycle from ideation to deployment.
- Focus on, and be driven by, impactful innovation projects that advance the vision.
- Strengthen existing relationships and extend to other key partners within and beyond the network.
- Empower innovators via active guidance from senior leaders within and beyond the sector.
- Synergize with existing innovation frameworks and entities (e.g. NRCAN, CFREF, COSIA, CMC, PTAC, PSAC, ERINL, etc.).
