Generic Statistical Business Process Model GSBPM Janusz Dygaszewicz Statistics Poland ModernStats World Workshop 2018 Geneva, 11 – 13 April 2018

Generic Statistical Business Process Model Shows the different steps to produce official statistics Provides standard terminology to help statistical organisations: Modernise statistical production processes Share methods and components

The main changes to the GSBPM between versions 4. 0 and 5 The main changes to the GSBPM between versions 4.0 and 5.0 are as follows: Phase 8 (Archive) has been removed, and incorporated into the over-arching process of data and metadata management, to reflect the view that archiving can happen at any stage in the statistical production process. A new sub-process: "Build or enhance dissemination components" has been added within the "Build" phase to reflect the growing importance of having a range of dissemination options. Several sub-processes have been re-named to improve clarity The descriptions of the sub-processes have been updated and expanded where necessary. The terminology used has been changed to be less survey-centric, in recognition of the growing use of non-survey sources (administrative data, big data etc.).

Why do we need the GSBPM? To define and describe statistical processes in a coherent way To standardize process terminology To identify synergies between processes To compare / benchmark processes between organisations To inform decisions on systems architectures and organisation of resources

Structure Process Phases Sub-processes (Descriptions)

Key features GSBPM is not a linear model in which all steps must be followed in a strict order It is a matrix , through which there are many possible paths Some iterations of a regular proces my skip certain sub-processes

What is the scope? All activities undertaken by producers of official statistics which result in data outputs National and international statistical organisations All types of data source: Surveys / censuses Administrative sources / register-based statistics Mixed sources “Big Data” Geospatial components

The GSBPM is a reference model It is intended that GSBPM may be used by organisations to different degrees. An organisation may choose to either implement GSBPM directly or use it as the basis for developing an organisation specific adaption of the model. It may be used in some cases only as a model to which organisations refer when communicating internally or with other organisations to clarify discussion. The various scenarios for the use of GSBPM exist.

The GSBPM is used by more than 50 statistical organisations worldwide
