Scotland Yard was quite controversial due to certain rights they had and no one else had. For example, their right to have handcuffs (an idea that some organizations had in the past, SY was able to get it).
Alec's ideas were centered around role-playing, but this wasn't good enough for the Era Staff as they felt Era was about PKing -only-, thus leading to opposition towards Alec and a few others. However, I've come to believe that an addition of role-playing on Era is not impossible, merely improbable due to the staff's idea of PKing only.
I will use the Merriam-Webster dictionary to define success, as I trust its definitions.
Success: obsolete : outcome, result.
Therefore, under this definition provided by Merriam-Webster, we can clearly see that these were all a result of Alec's ideas, and thus successful. Now of course, was it favorable? In my opinion, yes. Regency Theatre and Scotland Yard garnered a lot of public praise (and negative praise), even Morgrim wanted to recreate Scotland Yard (as a Gang).
Because of the public approval of some of his works, I argue that he was in fact successful. Was he perfect? God no. Was he the best manager Era has seen? Probably not. But he was by no means a huge failure that you are proclaiming.

Lol Regency and SY...
Both could be completed in a week (two?) tops, it's not a huge.. great.. awesome thing. Using those to landmark a managership is pretty pitiful.
Neither still exist thus they were failures and did little-nothing to shape Era or remain fruitful (As I've yet to see a single person say.. 'Oh remember when Regency was open?.. We need something like that back!').
GC had a Scotland Yard party for a year or longer, thus it was created into a Gang when he became the GBA. I doubt the Scotland Yard you're mentioning had a huge (or any?) impact to cause him to create a gang of it. (Not to mention the Gang failed as well)
If you want to role-play go to Val. (As we all see how well that server worked out..)
And I've never even heard of Alec.. so I assume he was forgetful or a bad manager.
Just a thought though, but if your staff oppose you then why don't you get new ones? Or maybe they were right in opposing you and you couldn't find any others...
Hrm?
