1. ESS Vision 2020 – portfolio (2)
Portfolio management - monitoring report
The ESS Vision 2020 portfolio is on track and delivery confidence remains high. Leaving the supporting framework on Cooperation Models (for which we will have a more in-depth presentation under item 5) aside for the moment, I would like to take the opportunity to draw your attention to some recent highlights of the various projects:

4. 1. ESS Vision 2020 – portfolio (3)
ADMIN
Administrative data sources
Report on legal institutional environment in the ESS is available for consultation;
The methodological helpdesk is now operational and accessible to colleagues throughout the ESS
BIGD
Big Data
ESSnet together with CEDEFOP work on 'job vacancies' web scraping ;

A new Big Data ESSnet has just started.
DIGICOM
Digital communication, User analytics and Innovative products
Facebook page: European Statistics, Visualisation tools: "You in EU" and "Government Expenditure" and ‘The life of Women and Men in the EU’;

SERV
Shared services
The ESSNet is well progressing: guidelines available, now working on deploying services;
Development of the Service Catalogue is progressing, and the initial release of Service Catalogue v2.0 is foreseen for May. EA
Enterprise Architecture
Framework

Presentation of the video clip

7. 3. ESS Vision 2020 stock-taking

8. Objectives of the analysis
"Check-up" of the Vision implementation:
What has been the focus so far?
What will be the areas on which to focus in the future?
How can the implementation be improved?
Identify potential gaps in the implementation of the Vision
Does the current portfolio adequately cover the Vision?
How do emerging technological trends impact the Vision and its implementation?

9. Main sources for the analysis
In-depth analysis of how the ESS Vision implementation portfolio relates to initial objectives of the Vision
Analysis of the project reviews conducted by the Enterprise Architecture framework
Analysis of technological trends by the Enterprise Architecture framework

10. Portfolio analysis: methodology
Vision statements
BCM Capabilities
Project deliverables
Key Vision statements/phrases identified
Each statement linked to capabilities from the ESS Business Capability Model and to relevant ESS Vision 2020 project deliverables

11. Portfolio evolution: main findings
Out of 99 major deliverables, 34 delivered so far
2017 is expected to be peak year for deliverables

12. Stock-taking exercise
Portfolio evolution: main findings
IT developments (Key Area 4) dominated ESS Vision 2020 output so far.
Growth of output in other areas expected to rebalance portfolio in the coming years.

13. Stock-taking exercise
Vision gaps: main findings

14. Vision gaps: main findings
Most capabilities are receiving the expected amount of attention/resources
Capabilities related to flexible statistical outputs under-developed
The concept of "tailor-made" statistics and EU data pool" are often mentioned in the Vision but not tackled head-on by the portfolio
"Design production systems" capability overdeveloped

15. EA reviews: main findings
"Infrastructural" deliverables/projects are adapting to the needs of business projects (e.g. ESDEN adapting to needs of ESBRs)
However, continuous efforts needed to ensure that the infrastructural deliverables develop into more concrete business outcomes, especially as the BIG DATA and DIGICOM projects reach full maturity

16. Relevant technological trends
Emerging technological trends are putting more emphasis on the strengthening of specific capabilities.
Data integration / data analytics
Common exploration of modern data platforms / data management paradigms may be useful
Metadata management
DIGICOM project already exploring this aspect
Data security and protection
Several initiatives exist but aspect could be deepened

17. 4. Next steps
The VIG
continues to monitor the development of the ESS Vision 2020 projects
oversees and promotes deployment
continues to work on communication activities
envisages discussion about competition within the information market

18. Thank you for your attention !
