Review of proposed outline for handbook Session 12 Review of proposed outline for handbook UNSD presentation

Content Expected outcomes of meeting Vision for handbook Proposed outline Process going forward Timeline

Expected outcomes of meeting Documentation of national practices in the adoption of technologies for electronic data collection and monitoring of field enumeration, identifying key factors for making sound decisions and developing appropriate strategies, critical business processes for successful implementation Inputs for the handbook covering all important aspects in the process of adopting electronic data collection technologies in population and housing censuses

Vision for handbook Purpose – reference handbook Partners – Regional Commissions Audience – census managers/personnel Focus areas - handheld, Internet for enumeration Drafting approach – collaborative Format – online/print

Outline Introductory part Decision-making Planning and preparations Handheld electronic devices Internet Multi-mode censuses Geospatial technologies

Outline Introductory parts of handbook Introduction rationale; scope and purpose; summaries Drivers of technological innovations demand for timely and quality data; cost reduction; public expectation Overview of data collection technologies interviewer-administered — CAPI, CATI self-administered — CAWI/CASI, IVR

Outline Decision-making Key determinants of technology adoption institutional factors; technological factors; economic factors Processes of decision making establishing management group composition roles and responsibilities Information required for decision making cost estimates; benefits; assumptions; risks Analysis and decision Documentation

Outline Planning and preparations Technology investment management Instituting management group for technology investment oversight Defining roles and responsibilities of the oversight group Documentation IT skills and capacity development Assess knowledge/skills requirements Inventory the knowledge and skills of current IT staff Develop strategies to fill gaps b/n requirements & existing staffing Evaluate and report on progress in filling gaps IT acquisition management Define acquisition/sourcing strategy Critical success factors for IT acquisition Outsourcing
