Coping with multiple challenges(ABS initiative, Paris 2010: ABS, ONS, SCB, SNZ, SSB, StatCan) • Budget constraints • Increasing user demand • Scope and content of statistical outputs • Quality awareness • Changing information society • Information-related technologies • Data/metadata infrastructure
Modernization & obstacles • Production efficiency • Quality vs. Cost • Flexibility for reconfiguration/regeneration • Modernization programs: From stovepipe solutions to corporate-wise standardized general systems • Obstacles • Continuous production vs. development/migration • Lack of internationally recognized standard/framework • Generic statistical business process model (GSBPM) • Generic statistical information model (GSIM) to-be
Industrialization: A vision statement • Each NSI is a factory of statistical information • Products: excellence in quality • Production means: capable as well as flexible • Production process: efficient given resource-at-disposal • Together, an industry of social-economic statistical information with its own industrial standards • Foundation for cost-efficient development and exchange of production means; potential market of commercial interest • Consolidation of our statistical outputs in information society, making them readily accessible, interpretable & comparable
Standardization of 4 business domains:Away with all unnecessary variations! • Production Process: GSBPM • Metadata & Information Management: GSIM • Methodology: • Standardization ≠ Single solution • Recommended/base-line solution = point of departure • Deviation if justified = impetus for auditing • Over time, standardization generates a method library • IT-Tools and Platforms: • General statistical systems • Architectural design • Engineering principles
Network approach: Experiences & reshaping • Opportunity = Umbrella / field of activity • Projects and tasks • Interest/need & resource • University party: agility & low-level of project management • Sprints => tangible output over concentrated time period Some initial proposals of short-term tasks/projects
