This year the UK will waste £10 billion or more on IT projects that go
over time, over budget and just plain wrong. Half of the total will be
public money. Much of the waste is avoidable, the result not of
technical problems but of dismal management and shoddy methods that,
like a computer virus, endlessly replicate the mistakes of the past.
