Developing a Roadmap for Statistical Modernisation
Steven Vale UNECE
Modernisation can mean different things to different people depending on their starting point The level of maturity will vary across organisations
but also within organisations across domains
In some cases: • the fundamentals of an independent,
objective and impartial statistical system are not enshrined in law or practice
• the right of access to administrative data is not guaranteed
• the data infrastructure required to exploit secondary data sources is not in place
• the skills required to engage with new data sources are not in place
To use a map, you need to know where you are! The Modernisation Maturity Model
• A new tool to evaluate where an organization is in the modernization process
• Based on identifying levels of maturity against key capabilities
• Pilot version created and tested • More development in 2016
Open Group Service Integration Maturity Model (OSIMM)
Pilot version for statistics
Why do we need a
Modernisation Maturity Model?
“A Modernisation Maturity Model ... could provide a framework within which to
assess the maturity of individual statistical organisations, but also the maturity of the
global statistical community, from a modernisation perspective”
We need to know how ready we are to adopt new ideas and solutions
We need to understand the logical sequence of modernisation activities
We can collaborate with those at a similar level, and learn from those that are ahead of us • but how do we know who is at what level?
What are the elements of the MMM?
Capabilities – the key to the MMM?
Capabilities require a combination of organisation, people, processes, methodology, standards and technology
Maturity by capability?
Developing a roadmap
We know the starting point, but do we know the end? • Is there an end?
Modernisation is a continuous process • Revolution in the way that we think • But evolution in the way we produce
statistics? Moving to a paradigm of constant change
First steps
1. Documenting processes using GSBPM 2. Mapping activities to GAMSO 3. Modelling information flows using GSIM 4. Moving to standard services 5. Adopting service-oriented architecture
and the CSPA 6. Sharing services within and between
organisations
The logical sequence?
CSPA
The full picture - 2015
Next steps
Development of the Modernisation Maturity Model • Modernisation Committee on Organisational
Frameworks and Evaluation Development of the Modernisation
Roadmap • Project on Promoting and Implementing
Models and Standards
