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

11/06/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
My husband and I recently became empty-nesters (again), and it’s an interesting dynamic when you aren’t arranging your daily routines around your kids’ schedules and lives. You don’t feel as rushed, and you can turn your attention to some other things that have been put on hold, but you also feel a little melancholy about the changes, and you hope you’ve instilled enough of your wisdom into your children before they move away.

Nolan's Notes: When Sourcing Gets Smarter

11/04/2026 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's Notes
“It’s a New Age” is such a cliché. I roll my eyes whenever I hear it. In the 1969 musical “Hair,” they sang about the “Age of Aquarius,” a time that would bring peace, love, harmony, and understanding. While an “age” is an indefinite unit of measurement, these free-spirited hippies were referring to an astrological age, which lasts about 2,160 years (although its exact start is open to interpretation). Geologically speaking, an age spans 2 to 10 million years. That is, in fact, a very long time. This all just illustrates why, when that phrase gets dropped into a conversation, my proverbial cynical eyebrow gets raised.

Global Sourcing Spotlight: Beyond China Plus One—Building a Truly Global Supply Network

10/14/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing Spotlight
China Plus One has been the go-to strategy for companies looking to diversify their supply chains without giving up the advantages of manufacturing in China. Keep China in the mix, add capacity in Vietnam, Thailand, India, Malaysia, Mexico, or another country, and reduce the risk of relying too heavily on one manufacturing region. But adding another country does not necessarily create a diversified supply chain.

It’s Only Common Sense: Look Beyond the Tariffs

10/12/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
Every time a new tariff is announced, companies start scrambling. You see purchasing managers demanding new quotations, executives ordering their teams to find another country, and suppliers rushing to explain why their prices are changing. Everyone reacts, but the problem is that too few people stop long enough to develop an actual sourcing strategy.
