I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

07/10/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
This week, I’ve been enjoying time with all my young adult children and our 2-year-old grandson. He is a bundle of energy, curiosity, opinions, and above all else, joy. Little children are constant reminders to stop and appreciate all the beauties of life in their most simplest form. I think that’s one reason Dan Beaulieu’s column this week resonated with me so much. Life is serious, business is serious, solving problems is serious. But how we approach these parts of our lives matters. Dan reminds us that we can do important work with joy. Strong businesses recognize that culture is a strategic asset, not a nice-to-have. People perform better when they find purpose and satisfaction in what they do.

Nomenil Aims to Make Additive Manufacturing Production-Ready

07/09/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
Can additive manufacturing finally move beyond niche applications and into mainstream PCB production? Nomenil founders Bas Le Grand and Dr. Luca Gautero believe the answer lies not in the hardware, but in the software. Drawing on years of inkjet experience, they're developing tools designed to make additive manufacturing more predictable, scalable, and accessible for manufacturers.

ERP, Automation, and Maturity: A Systems Framework for Manufacturers

07/08/2026 | Scott Ryan, Cetec ERP
One unique opportunity for ERP consultants is to see how manufacturers operate. They can see how businesses adopt, stretch, patch, or replace systems to manage growth, customer requirements, inefficiency, or pressure on the bottom line. The insight is important to what business maturity looks like. ERP matters because it becomes the foundation for shared processes and data. It organizes how information moves, departments interact, work is measured, and how well an SMB manufacturer can scale.

Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘The Soul of a New Machine’

07/09/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz Bookshelf
Every once in a while, it's worth pulling an old book off the shelf to see if it still has something to teach us. That's exactly what I did recently with Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Soul of a New Machine." I first read it more than 40 years ago when it was considered essential reading for anyone interested in technology and engineering. I wondered if it would still hold up after all these years. More importantly, I wanted to see how much the electronics industry had changed since the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The Marketing Minute: The Tyranny of the Dashboard

07/08/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing Minute
For years, I treated my health like a dashboard. I tracked my steps, calories, protein intake, sleep score, and resting heart rate. If a number could be attached to it, I wanted to optimize it, and I got pretty good at it. But the dashboard wasn't telling the whole story, and that was a problem. I could hit every target and still feel exhausted. I could achieve every metric while ignoring stress, recovery, and whether I actually felt healthy. Eventually, I realized I'd become less interested in my health than in producing good numbers. I had become a slave to the dashboard.
