Introducing the HLG-MOS
High-level Group for the Modernisation of
Official Statistics
Created by the Conference of European
Statisticians in 2010
Strategic vision for modernisation
Annual projects in priority areas
Activities are voluntary and demand driven

The GSBPM
![Page 7: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is the GSBPM?
Generic Statistical Business Process Model
It shows the different steps needed to
produce official statistics
It provides standard terminology to help
statistical organisations
• Modernise statistical production processes
• Share methods and components
![Page 8: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Key features
Not a linear model Sub-processes are not followed in a strict
order
It is a matrix, through which there are many
possible paths

What is the GAMSO?
Generic Activity Model for Statistical
Organisations
Released in 2015
It extends and complements the GSBPM
by adding other activities needed to
support statistical production
![Page 13: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Uses of GAMSO
Resource planning
Measuring costs
Assessing readiness to implement
different aspects of modernisation
Supporting risk management systems
Implementing enterprise architecture
Measuring and communicating the value
of statistical modernisation activities

What is the GSIM?
Generic Statistical Information Model
A reference framework of information objects:
• Definitions
• Attributes
• Relationships
It gives us standard terminology
It aligns with relevant implementation
standards such as DDI and SDMX
![Page 17: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GSIM and GSBPM
GSIM describes the information objects and
flows within the statistical business process.

the Future of
Statistical
Production CSPA
![Page 23: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is the CSPA?
• A template architecture for official statistics
• A set of standard specifications for new
statistical components
(services) that can be
used in a modular way
• A new way of developing statistical tools, with
sharability as a design feature, not an afterthought
![Page 24: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Problem statement:
Specialised business processes, methods and IT
systems for each survey / output
![Page 25: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

... but if each statistical organisation
works by themselves ...

.. which makes it hard to
share and reuse!

work together to define a common
statistical production architecture ...

We all have to modernise our statistical
production systems
The marginal cost of doing this in a way
that supports collaboration and complies
with CSPA is relatively low
The potential savings from the CSPA
approach are high
Key Message

Why?
Increased automation of processing
Electronic data collection
New data sources
Sharing tools, methods and data
Result: New capabilities will be needed
![Page 37: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Capability Management
A capability is the ability to perform or
achieve certain actions or outcomes
Capability represents the intersection of
capacity and ability
![Page 38: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Capabilities: Organisational level
Capabilities require a combination of people,
processes, methods, systems and standards
![Page 39: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Activities, processes, capabilities
An activity is something we do
A process is how we do it
Capabilities are what
allow us to do it
![Page 40: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Capability Framework
Business Capabilities Model developed by
ESS Enterprise Architecture Task Force
“summarizes the key capabilities required for
producing official statistics. It provides a framework
to view which capabilities are already sufficiently
present … versus those on which development
effort is needed”

Capabilities: Individual level
Challenge: To match individual
capabilities with organisational need
Do our staff have the capabilities we
need?
• Now
• In the future
If not, develop or hire?
Do we use the existing capabilities of
our staff effectively?
![Page 44: Statistical Architecture Models...United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Statistical Division Statistical Architecture Models Steven Vale UNECE steven.vale@unece.org Introducing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d7cb4f97e1e012a421290/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

capabilities?
Define and
develop
capabilities
