Introducing the HLG
High-level Group for the Modernisation of Statistical Production and ServicesCreated by the Conference of European Statisticians in 2010Vision and strategy endorsed by CES in 2011/2012
Who are the HLG members?
Pádraig Dalton (Ireland) - Chairman Trevor Sutton (Australia) Wayne Smith (Canada) Emanuele Baldacci (Italy) Bert Kroese (Netherlands) Park, Hyungsoo (Republic of Korea) Genovefa Ružić (Slovenia) Walter Radermacher (Eurostat) Martine Durand (OECD) Lidia Bratanova (UNECE)
What does the HLG do?
Oversees activities that support modernisation of statistical organisations
Stimulates development of global standards and international collaboration activities
“Within the official statistics community ... take a leadership and coordination role”
Why is the HLG needed?
Before the HLG Now
Many expert groups Clear vision
Little coordination Agreed priorities
No overall strategy Strategic leadership
Limited impact Real progress
The Challenges
These challenges are too big for statistical organisations to
tackle on their own
We need to work together
Using common standards, statistics can be produced
more efficiently
No domain is special!
Do new methods and toolssupport this vision, or do they
reinforce a stove-pipe mentality?

Managing change
Do we have the right people with the right skills?
Do we have the right organisational structures?
How can we make our organisational culture more accepting of change?
But what is the HLG really all about?
How can we unite globally to create a new model of collaboration?
Lidia Bratanova, UNECE
There is more reason to work together now than ever before

There is a real opportunity, it’s a challenging opportunity, and its not obvious that we will succeed

The biggest challenge is a cultural one, not only between our institutions but within our own institutions
