Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
This episode walks through 200+ methodologies, tools, frameworks, and technologies that were once sold as the future” - and are now forgotten, marginalized, or quietly replaced.
Sam Holcman, who started his career in 1972 when it was all called “Data Processing” (spoiler: we are still just processing data), shares the hard lessons from 50+ years of watching silver bullets come and go.
The pattern is brutal and consistent: every one of these darlings was proposed, hyped, taught, certified, and implemented - only to be displaced by approaches that were more understandable, more human-consumable, and actually usable by decision-makers.
If your favorite framework, tool, or “AI-powered” platform vanished tomorrow… would your strategy still stand?
Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: Your objective is enabling enterprise and business strategy. Everything else - every methodology, modeling tool, or framework - is a means to an end, never the end itself.
