the future of Statistical Production CSPA

50 task team members 7 task teams CSPA 2015 project

The project has three main objectives: To extend the support offered for the implementation of CSPA compliant statistical services, To have a plan in place for continued investment in the development of CSPA services. To facilitate the transitioning of CSPA governance from HLG project governance arrangements

What is CSPA?

We need to modernise There are many “shaky bridge” platforms: rigid processes and methods; inflexible ageing technology; increasing cost of traditional data collection methods; inability to quickly respond to emerging information needs; slow to harness new and alternative sources of data (such as sensor, satellite); difficulty in attracting and retaining skilled staff in the competitive labour market. In an increasingly digital and data rich environment statistical organizations are struggling to remain relevant.

A modernisation blueprint exists CSPA provides a reference architecture to help each agency modernisation, based on common standards: GSBPM GSIM DDI / SDMX CSPA allows us to modernise our environment and use existing international solutions.

What is CSPA? CSPA provides a template architecture for official statistics, describing: − What the official statistical industry wants to achieve − How the industry can achieve this, i.e. principles that guide how statistics are produced − What the industry will have to do, compliance with the CSPA

Historically, statistical organizations have produced specialized business processes and IT systems The problem CSPA solves Many statistical organizations are modernising and transforming using Enterprise Architecture

Objective 1: Extend the support offered for the implementation of CSPA compliant statistical services

At the end of 2014, there were still unanswered questions Too much room for interpretation

Sharing in Statistical Modernisation Community Objective 2: To have a plan in place for continued investment in the development of CSPA services

A vision for an aligned and collaboratively led community. Allows all of us to benefit from collaboration and sharing. Extending our existing sharing practices to the next level. Heads of Organizations agree in principle to sharing and collaborating in the community. Organizations contribute as much as they can, in what form they can (capability, funding, etc.) Sharing in the Community

Capability Catalogue Built in 2015 Focus on existing sharing opportunities A capability enables an organisation to undertake an activity. One capability can enable an organisation to undertake many activities Method People Standards and Frameworks Process Technology

Capability Catalogue Built in 2015 Focus on existing sharing opportunities Why capabilities? GSBPM doesn’t help us identify where a single investment can impact multiple production processes Developing new systems based on GSBPM could lead to duplication of functionality in business processes There is a many to many relationship between capabilities and activities. The more a capability is reused by different activities the more money it saves us.

Sharing of any dimension of a capability can occur with different degrees of maturity. With more maturity in sharing comes: more confidence in the sustainability of things being shared; more clarity in roles of providers and consumers of the thing being shared; greater visibility of the status of things being shared.

Statistical organisations already participate in many international engagement activities that facilitate sharing. The marginal cost of doing this in a way that supports collaboration and complies with CSPA is relatively low, but the potential savings enabled by such a standard approach are high. Key Messages
