Overview■ Developing a strategy....some theory
■ Identification of users....and their needs
■ Consultation with users
■ Helping others disseminate the data
■ Matrix of tools by type of data use
■ Challenges in data dissemination
■ Discussion
![Page 3: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
So, the next Census is approaching...consider:
■ Program and organisation (and government?) strategic directions
■ Changing technology and emerging trends:
■ internet as the main dissemination platform
■ dataset linking or data-mashing■ data visualisation
■ Cost-effective, value for money
■ What do our users want!
![Page 4: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Some basic marketing theory....■ Who are our users - defining markets
■ who are we producing statistics for?■ outward focused
■ Determining the statistical requirements of different client groups within these markets
■ Working out how to best meet those needs
■ Delivering the relevant statistics to those clients
![Page 5: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What makes a good Census dissemination strategy
■ Transparent
■ Innovate to remain relevant
■ Responsive to emerging needs
■ Recognises that different users have different needs and cater for these
■ Timely release of products
■ Accessible
■ Achievable
![Page 6: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Aim of Census data dissemination strategies
■ Determine and meet user requirements
■ Explain strategic directions
■ Promote the benefits and applications of Census data
■ Maximise use of Census products and services
■ Buy-in (internal and external)
■ Feedback
![Page 7: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Align with corporate objectives■ ABS Example:
"ABS services are timely, relevant, responsive and respected for their integrity and quality"
"informed and increased use of statistics"
■ Continuous improvement
![Page 8: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Identification of users■ Three models:
■ Market Segmentation
■ Website Behaviour
■ Personas
![Page 9: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Market Segmentation Model
■ Introduced to ABS in 2008
■ Covers the whole spectrum of organisations and individuals who interact with the ABS
■ Even considers those who do not currently access ABS statistics
■ Sets consistent and clear guidelines for determining the value of client relationships and target markets
![Page 10: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ABS Market Segmentation Model
![Page 11: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Different users – different layers of engagement
![Page 12: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ABS Market Segmentation Model – Relationship view
![Page 13: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ABS Market Segmentation Model – Service view
![Page 14: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Website Behaviour Model ■ Tourists (35%) ad-hoc visitors looking for basic statistics (in response to a topical issue in the news)
■ Harvesters
(20%) visitors who return to the website regularly for updates of the same information
■ Miners (45%) heavy users of ABS data - downloading spreadsheets & data cubes for analysis
![Page 15: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Personas Model■ Extension of market segmentation model
■ Deal with users of the ABS' key dissemination tool, the ABS website
■ Designed to represent a group of real users with similar needs and thus behaviours■ can develop many personas
■ Concept has been adopted by a number of public and private organisations■ cost effective
![Page 16: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How do we know the needs of our users?
■ Market intelligence and research:
■ Direct Feedback ■ Requested■ Unsolicited
■ Indirect Intelligence
■ Contextual Intelligence
![Page 17: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We have identified our, strategic directions, users and their needs.....what tools?
■ Different tools required to meet different needs:■ Easy ■ Intermediate■ Advanced
■ One user can have different data needs■ At different times
■ Solved through different tools
![Page 18: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Case Study: 2006 Census, Australia
■ Strategic directions:
■ Rationalise products to better match users to the functionality required
■ Closer alignment with ABS directions in data dissemination
■ Expanded range of data.....tailored to the level of sophistication of the user
■ Growth in electronic dissemination, progressively reduce use of other media
![Page 19: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strategic directions ctd■ Improved useability of the census data:
■ don't need to know how the Census data are organised - the system will take you where you need to go
■ there will be information at the click of a mouse about the data, such as classificatory details and data quality:
■ More self-help available.....electronically
■Change in method of dissemination, 'Place of Usual Residence'

Lessons learned from 2006
■ Product confusion - too many products trying to meet too many needs
■ Using the market segmentation model: over-servicing and under-servicing of users
■ Mismatches between user need and product
■ Difficult for users to navigate to the right product
![Page 41: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Lessons learned from 2006 ctd■ Little management information/market intelligence to make informed decisions about tools used and how
■ Hard copy publications: very costly to produce for little return
■ Difficult to maintain support for technical products (eg DataPacks) – focus should be on the data and not the product
![Page 42: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Lessons learned from 2006 ctd■ ABS core business is statistics - encourage others to promote use of Census data
■ Stability and performance
■ Don't promise what we cannot deliver
■ Make it easier for other to help us
■ We forgot about some of our user's data needs – Data Packs

Developing a Matrix..■ Start with the end goal in mind - helps give focus to our planning
■ Identify priorities
■ Identify gaps and over-servicing
■ Create the right product for the right user
■ More efficient use of resources
![Page 45: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
A couple of options...
■ Product x complexity
■ Market segmentation model
■ Personas
![Page 46: Strategies for Data Dissemination](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815df4550346895dcc2ba6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Issues to keep in mind■ Confidentiality
■ Data Quality
■ Metadata... just as important as the data
■ Turning the strategy into a business plan
■ Licensing of products/data
■ Change is scary.....how do we communicate new product directions to clients?
■ How do we engage with non-users?
■ How do we engage with our users when they self serve?
