Modernisation can mean different things to different people depending on their starting point The level of maturity will vary across organisations

but also within organisations across domains

In some cases: • the fundamentals of an independent,

objective and impartial statistical system are not enshrined in law or practice

• the right of access to administrative data is not guaranteed

• the data infrastructure required to exploit secondary data sources is not in place

• the skills required to engage with new data sources are not in place

To use a map, you need to know where you are! The Modernisation Maturity Model

• A new tool to evaluate where an organization is in the modernization process

• Based on identifying levels of maturity against key capabilities

• Pilot version created and tested • More development in 2016

Open Group Service Integration Maturity Model (OSIMM)

Pilot version for statistics

Why do we need a

Modernisation Maturity Model?

“A Modernisation Maturity Model ... could provide a framework within which to

assess the maturity of individual statistical organisations, but also the maturity of the

global statistical community, from a modernisation perspective”

We need to know how ready we are to adopt new ideas and solutions

We need to understand the logical sequence of modernisation activities

We can collaborate with those at a similar level, and learn from those that are ahead of us • but how do we know who is at what level?

What are the elements of the MMM?

Capabilities – the key to the MMM?

Capabilities require a combination of organisation, people, processes, methodology, standards and technology

Maturity by capability?

Developing a roadmap

We know the starting point, but do we know the end? • Is there an end?

Modernisation is a continuous process • Revolution in the way that we think • But evolution in the way we produce

statistics? Moving to a paradigm of constant change

First steps

1. Documenting processes using GSBPM 2. Mapping activities to GAMSO 3. Modelling information flows using GSIM 4. Moving to standard services 5. Adopting service-oriented architecture

and the CSPA 6. Sharing services within and between

organisations

The logical sequence?

CSPA

The full picture - 2015

Next steps

Development of the Modernisation Maturity Model • Modernisation Committee on Organisational

Frameworks and Evaluation Development of the Modernisation

Roadmap • Project on Promoting and Implementing

Models and Standards
