GSBPM – The Background • Statistical production has traditionally been organised by topic, e.g. transport, trade, … • Financial pressures are encouraging new ways of thinking • Some statistical organisations are moving towards a process-based approach • Others are considering a matrix approach
Terminology • Defining and modelling processes in statistical organisations started at least 10 years ago • “Statistical value chain” • “Survey life-cycle” • “Statistical process cycle” • “Business process model”

Why do we need a model? To define and describe statistical processes in a coherent way To standardize process terminology To compare and benchmark processes within and between organisations To identify synergies between processes To inform decisions on systems architectures and organisation of resources
Developing the GSBPM Developed by the UNECE Steering Group on Statistical Metadata (METIS) Based on the business process model developed by Statistics New Zealand Three rounds of comments made the terminology and descriptions more generic Adopted in April 2009
Applicability • All activities undertaken by producers of official statistics which result in data outputs • National and international statistical organisations • Independent of data source, can be used for: • Surveys / censuses • Administrative sources / register-based statistics • Mixed sources
Structure of the GSBPM Process Phases Sub-processes (Descriptions)
Structure of the GSBPM (2) • National implementations may need additional levels • Over-arching processes • Quality management • Metadata management • Statistical framework management • Statistical programme management • ........ (8 more – see paper)
Key features Not a linear model Sub-processes do not have to be followed in a strict order It is a matrix, through which there are many possible paths, including iterative loops within and between phases Some iterations of a regular process may skip certain sub-processes
Links to other standards • SDMX standards refer to business processes, but do not have a model • DDI has the Combined Life Cycle Model
Further development of the GSBPM • UNECE Task Force • No change to model (for at least 2 years) • 5 themes: • National Implementations of the GSBPM • Communication resources • Metadata flows within the GSBPM • GSBPM and process quality management • Other groups using the GSBPM as a framework for their activities
Workshop on Statistical Metadata • Theme: Implementing the GSBPM and combining metadata standards • Where: Geneva • When: 5-7 October 2011 • More information: UNECE website -www.unece.org/stats/documents/2011.10.metis.htm • All welcome!
Implementation • 30+ countries have adopted the GSBPM or national versions as a framework to describe statistical production • Also used for: • Quality management • Cost allocation • Time recording • “Classification” of IT systems
