  1. Innovations and Official Statistics Heli Jeskanen-Sundström UN Seminar on Innovations in Official Statistics New York 20 February 2009

  2. Content • What is innovation? • Some trends in private sector’s innovation activity • Innovations in Official Statistics • About governance • About quality and management • About technology push and user orientation • About open innovation environment • About global networks • Questions

  3. Every organization - not just businesses - needs one core competence: Innovation. And every organization needs a way to record and appraise its innovative performance(Peter Drucker, Harvard Business Review)

  4. What is innovation? • An innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), a process, a new marketing method , or a new organisational method in business practices, workplace organisation or external relations. • (OECD, Eurostat: Oslo Manual, 3th edition 2005)

  5. Some trends in private sector’s innovation activity • Focus to strategies and management • Focus to organisational culture • User-orientation instead of technology-drivenness • Towards open innovation activity • Towards global networks

  6. Innovations in Official Statistics I • Towards good governance • Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics • “The governance issues are crucial because without proper administrative measures the improvement and innovation in the area of data collection and dissemination is not possible”A Y M Ekramul Hoque, Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics

  7. Innovations in Official Statistics II • Focus to quality, strategies and management • In EFQM we talk about sustainable innovation, innovation which brings lasting added value to the organisations, its shareholders and society as a whole. This Framework is here to help you define your innovation agenda, to measure your innovation performance and improve your competitiveness. (EFQM) • Organisational culture forms the basis -> focus to Human Resource Management

  8. Innovations in Official Statistics III • From technology push to user-orientation • Focus to processes • Development and standardisation of methods and tools • Active stakeholder relations policy • Towards open innovation activity • New innovations are equally important as applying the old ones developed by others ->sharing experience and knowledge, learning from others, networking

  10. Towards global networks • Many benefits • Common ethical basis and values • Long experience on development and harmonisation of statistical frameworks, classifications, definitions • Comprehensive network of international statistical organisations and scientific partnerships like ISI • No obstacles to share knowledge and experience • But: The development of new statistics and statistical systems is an extremely slow process and application into practice even more so

  11. What is the greatest innovation in official statistics? • Are our statistics really the relevant ones and up-to-date? • Are we sufficiently innovative as far as our concepts, methods and processes are concerned? • Do we take care of our stakeholders well enough? • Are we doing our job efficiently enough? • Do our networks work well? • Do we use our innovation potential and capacity as we should? • Are we credible in our work?
