2011 Geneva High Level Group for Strategic Developments in Business Architecture in Statistics Workshop outcomes (as seen from the HLG-BAS group) Gosse van der Veen, Statistics Netherlands

General All accept the HLG-BAS vision, strategies and issues presented The dilemma of choice is accepted and priorities have to be determined. Trust and privacy: we need research in this area to remain in contact with the real world

On Governance Central hierarchy for industry-wide decisions? Or organic cooperation in networks? The common good (GSBPM,GSIM, collaboration approaches) to be done centrally? Formal governance versus agility / flexibility

Product Reduce turnaround with more agile production processes We need another, totally different production line for new (experimental) statistics   New culture, exploit cross-cutting production User segmentation and profiling to to determine our position

Process and Industrialisation Common architectures at all layers for process interoperability to be created using work already done. The GSIM has to be defined, understood and accepted: urgently Plug and play   Need for good IT, ESSnets underway.   Inventory of best practices

Organisation and collaboration Chief statisticians to agree on framework   At global level and European level Need for technical and procedural means for collaboration

Implementation We need start a project on high level architecture Demonstrate and validate the role and value of GSIM in a vertical project Start a project for concrete collaboration environment producing a framework document.

Standards: What Strategic view about standardisation and its challenges Common framework for implementation of standardisation Implementation strategy, road map Business cases

Standards: How Decide on time frame and budget Involvement of key stakeholders Periodical discussion of milestones Leads: anchor persons for standards Project management agreed on   Sine qua non: project plan

Miscellaneous Remember respondents – burden reduction Some data collections are larger than nations Should we form a global statistical system?

Deliverables Strategy document with enhancements as discussed at this workshop Framework document from HLG-BAS for chief statisticians of all NSIs to agree on as a first step. Define first changes needed for better collaboration Define organisational changes needed

Main Themes Develop strategy and actions Prioritize goals according to HLG-BAS vision Organise work of groups according to the priorities from vision + improve interaction Develop GSBPM or similar for other layers Develop GSIM quickly Models for governance(business cases?)   Classic   Market   Frontrunners with cost recovery Communication to participants and others
