Humans are a species that achieves everything through

cooperation in groups

Contents

• Introduction

• Structures and mechanisms

• Architecture for cooperation

• Opening up!

Introduction

From special to normal

Introduction

• We are cooperating but:• Travelling is seen as reward or to

costly• Infrastructure not ready for bridging

the gap• NSI’s are locked down (mentally)• Private infra is used

Introduction

• We are cooperating and:• We increasingly share solutions• Slowly more interconnections• NSI’s are forced to look outward• Technology leaps forward

Delivering a SYSTEM

•Our product is integration!•What we create is a global

system•Our governance should reflect

that

Structures, Mechanisms

• Work and Management must mirror• all levels of management in

contact

• NSI planning cycles should interconnect• resources set aside and earmarked• global balancing of burdens and

profits

Structures, Mechanisms

• Layered control/guidance paradigm

• Stepwise increase of abstraction level

• Groups do what they know best Appropriate detail at all levels

Structures, Mechanisms

• Layered control/guidance paradigm

• Global Statistical system - global• Enterprise architecture - NSI• Business architecture - Stats• Information architecture - Info• Technical architecture - ICT

Are you specialist or manager?

• Specialist: create the product, methods, system, architecture, interfaces or..

ROLES

Business Architects

The road ahead• Taking charge, manage!

• Doing content!• Architecture, modelling, shared software• Shared methods and specifications and so on

• Creating harmonised procedures for collaboration• Align our operational procedures

• Opening up our institutes!• Create an infrastructure for sharing • Deliver through contact (video or presence)

Know your role!

Opening Up!

• With our development networks

• With our methods

• With our workprocesses

Opening Up Means:

• Using combined budgets

• Seeing travel as means to achieve

• Locating teams somewere for a few (5) weeks

• Your boss is collaborating, just like you

• Having instant chat infrastructure, with video

Opening Up Means:

Matter of fact global collaboration

Look at the success of Open Source

Opening Up

¥ € $ Plug and Play Standards

Just a thought...A statistical cloud

(our own?, shared, secure)

For shared development

For ad hoc Big Data research

For joint dissemenation

Bottom Up?

• The way of the specialists

• Driven by local businesscase (team level!)

• Tool choice: mostly what’s available

• Problem definition? Perception within current mindframe

• Not normally based on architectural concepts

Collaborating and sharing by accident

Top Down!

Driven by the Business management (all levels)

Fuelled by business goalsGuided by architectureGlobal decisions on toolsBased on methodological concepts

Enabling international cooperation

Collaborating and sharing by design

Top Down! Get Smart!

•Like a pendulum!

Top management

Management governsProjects deliver

Distance = # Projects

Getting Smart!Highest level agrees on task to be executed,

countries to be involved(create plug and play architecture for statistics??)

Then we do top down task decomposition International planning session with

management level, address resource problem, define projects on this level, propose project managers

Assign lower management level the lower tasks (number increases)

repeat

Discussion:

• What mechanism ensures good management of the international projects

• How is a layered structure to be realised? by recursion?

• We do not need tons of administrative procedures

• We do need agile and tight control
