HLG MOS Activities Most recent HLG Workshop – November 2015 Reviewed the work of the 4 Modernisation Committees – Organisational Frameworks and Evaluation – Production and Methods – Products and Sources – Standards Focused on Governance and reporting arrangements 3

Statistical Modernisation Community Significant development - formal establishment of the Statistical Modernisation Community.  Success of the HLG highlighted the need to have a framework to articulate what we do, how we work and for those that want to get involved which does not hinder the open values and flexibility needed to modernise;  A new partnership open to all wishing to engage in HLG activities;  Partners to the community sign a statement of intent which sets out the core values and principles for collaboration;  Provides clarity for all existing and new partners;

Statement of Intent – Establishes a framework for enhanced collaboration between official statistics organisations; – Provides a basis for the development, sharing and maintenance of the joint products of the community; – Ensures an open inclusive approach to modernisation activities – While at the same time giving potential partners a sense of the level of engagement expected; – As different organisations are at different stages of maturity in terms of statistical modernisation, the community should support and be relevant to both the least and the most mature. 5
