The dismal track record of the implementation of large-scale information technology initiatives even on rigorous and focused corporate environments points up their difficulty. Unexpected obstacles arise, deadlines are missed and budgets are overrun. Maximizing the prospect of success requires providing for the slack in the schedule and the budget, structuring projects with clear accountabilities and frequent checkpoints, and assigning oversight responsibility to people with extensive information technology experience rather general managers who have programmatic commitments. Success also requires some trusting but more verifying. A homeowner who hires a general contractor to build an addition, discusses the project and then goes out for six months probably would be unhappy with the result. The same is true for public managers who hire contractors to perform essential tasks and fail to rigorously oversee every step. Another requisite for success is steadiness and realism for the face of difficulty. Once a project gets off track, there is an overwhelming temptation for everyone

involving to circle the wagons and promise rapid repair so as to hold critics at bay. Yet the right response to failure is to surface problems as rapidly as possible and to move more deliberately and carefully—not more quickly. In a football, the best teams stick to their playbooks even when they fall behind. When one has fallen behind a project, it is important to mobilize new resources and management but not to overpromise with respect to how soon and how good a fix is possible. One instance with over-optimism will ultimately be forgotten or forgiven. Repeated over-optimism should not and will not be excused. 1. _______2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______ 6. _______ 7. _______ 8. _______ 9. _______ 10. _______ III.

the Office of Strategic Services in World War II and later laid the roots for the CIA was fascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the “great game” of espionage—spying as a “profession”. These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mails, is reshaping Donovan’s vocation as well. The latest revolution is not simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen’s e-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades. In the past three or four years, the World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying. The spooks call it “open-source intelligence,” and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could compile the most data about Burundi. The winner, by a large margin, was a tiny Virginia company called Open Source Solutions, whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world. Among the firms making the biggest splash in this new world is Straitford, Inc., a private intelligence-analysis firm based in Austin, Texas. Straitford makes money by selling the results of spying (covering nations from Chile to Russia) to corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International. Many of its predictions are available online at www. straitford. com. Straiford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster’s dream. Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from the far corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine. “As soon as that report runs, we’ll suddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine,” says Friedman, a former political science professor. “And we’ll hear back from some of them.” Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That is where Straitford earns its keep. Friedman relies on a lean staff of 20 in Austin. Several of his staff members have military-intelligence backgrounds. He sees the firm’s outsider status as the key to its success. Straitford’s briefs do not sound like the usual Washington back-and-forthing, whereby agencies avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they
