Personal experiences
• Develop new processing system
• Obligation to meet survey release dates
• Constrained resources and time
• Compromises made
• Resulting system meets all our needs and aligns with many of the principles
Lessons learnt to date• Statistical outputs compete with strategic
outputs • Complex governance, no one single
programme owner
Focus is on separate components, rather than end-to-end solution
Driven by software solutionsAssumed ease of integrating these
Future plans
• Shift focus to people, processes, methods
• Promote wider use of existing tools• Resource development projects
separately • Continue to improve governance and
ownership of key deliverables
People Process Methods Software
Conclusion
• Seeing benefits from becoming more process-oriented
• Challenges around implementation• The principles are sound and are still
strongly supported• Change is gradual and at many levels
– Culture, behaviour, processes, standards and technology
