  1. Needs for changes and adjusting to them in the management of statistical systems Panel discussion Prospects and Risks for the Future: How to manage uncertainties UN Statistical Commission Seminar, 23 February 2007 Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  2. Steps towards more efficient and effective management of the national statistical systems • Know your ”business” environment and its changes • Identify the needs and risks • Formulate the vision and strategies • Manage the change • Evaluate and assess the results • Make conclusions, learn from experience, make changes and try again (=> private business has developed many good management tools) Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  3. CONTINUOUS INFORMATION ON OPERATING ENVIRONMENT FORMULATE STRATEGIES MANAGE THE CHANGE MANAGE THE PERFORMANCE BSC SELF ASSESSMENT Goals Plans Measures Focus Targets Measures Resources Results,outcome EFQM Needs for reacting Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  4. Role of information in risk management • Good information systems are needed to support risk management, we need to have • constant flow of relevant information on our “business” environment and its changes • systems and mechanisms (and people) to handle, structure and analyse information • systems to share information and knowledge - even weak signals - among the people in our statistical systems • strong management involvement in process, incl. discussions, conclusions and decision making Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  5. Where to get relevant information? • Internal information sources of the NSI’s (e.g. economic and personnel accounts; customer data bases; travel, meeting and project reports, Strategic Intelligence systems) • External sources (web sites and reports of the relevant national and international organisations, networking with users and stakeholders, feed-back systems) • Benchmarking reports, peer reviews, quality evaluations (like IMF’s ROSC, EU’s Code of Practice peer reviews and other analysis, OECD’s reports, World Bank reports, bilateral benchmarking, quality assessments) Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  6. Feedback systems of Statistics Finland Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  7. TQM frameworks help in risk management • TQM frameworks - like EFQM - can be used • to assess activities and performance of own organisation • to build up quality management systems • to identify and to evaluate risks in a balanced way • to assess the priorities of development work • EFQM = European Foundation of Quality Management, established in 1988. It maintains an updated version of quality management framework which is focused on continuous development of activities and on measurement of achievements. Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  8. Results Orientation Customer Focus Leadership and Constancy of Purpose Management by Processes and Facts Continuous Learning, Innovation and Improvement People Development and Involvement Partnership Development Corporate Social Responsibility FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF EXCELLENCE (EFQM) Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

  10. Why did we participate in the quality competition? • To know ”how good our organisation actually is” – the yardstick is the framework and assessment model of management widely used in Europe (EFQM) • Exhaustive feedback report of a team of experienced assessors of the organisation’s strengths and areas for improvement • The team of assessors supports the organisation’s development with its external knowledge and perspective through an input of approximately 80 working days • Gives the organisation a common goal and objective • Opportunity to compare the assessment profile against those of top organisations in Finland and Europe • The award is highly appreciated and organisations scoring over 400 points are entitled to apply to the EFQM Recognised for Excellence level Heli Jeskanen-Sundström

At the same time the quality award application • Draws a comprehensive description of the way Statistics Finland operates • “Lays all cards on the table” • Process has been an extremely useful exercise in itself, “best investment ever done”, a huge learning opportunity • Tool for management, tool for assessment, tool for improvement • Tool for learning and learning from others • Promotes uniformity within Statistics Finland Heli Jeskanen-Sundström
