Problem Statement 2008!!
It means that: the sexy job in the next 10 years will be statistician Hal Varian
Lets add some perspective: The internet has 1800 exabytes of data in 2011 exa = 10^18 NOW IDC/EMC white paper 2008
50.000 EXAbytes in 2020 We live in exponential times 27 fold growth in the next 9 years
Paradigm shift • In 1990 data were scarce,interpretation was readily available • In 2011 data are everywhere, interpretation is scarce
An observation: Our product set remains stable
Another observation: We know little about what is going on at Ebay and other e-commerce sites
Product Challenges • From surveys to data harvesting • From local to global • From a static product set to a dynamic one • Retain the label “official statistics”
Process Challenges • From artisanal to industrial standardized production • From content matter knowledge togeneric methodologies • From IT oriented tools to high level statistical production modules • From achievable quality to negotiated quality
High Level Group Vision: We have to re-invent our products and processes and adapt to a changed world
On Products: Innovate! • Address the global dimension • In the data and in the products • We need to learn to find data instead of surveying • Procurement and harvesting • The exponential increase of data is the key: we MUST use those data
On Products: Innovate! • Take position in the information value chain • Rethink our products related to needs of current society • Who ARE our customers nowadays? • And tomorrow? • Create pockets of innovation • nurture talent and create right conditions
On Process: Industrialise reduce diversity
On Process: Industrialise Four phases: Product design Process design Production Analysis Plus: professional ad hoc analysis environment CES 2011 Geneva 18
On Process: Industrialise • Standards save money • New methods for large volumes of data • Minimise labour, innovate • Collaborate, ease the burden
Vision: Our Challenges • Create a culture of change, find the talents in our organisations • Use the leverage of our official status • Take position in the information value chain • Process quality through standardisation
Conclusion and Pressing Ahead • The world is changing profoundly • We have to adapt or become obsolete • Collaboration and joining forces is vital • Autumn 2011: workshop for group leaders to develop a strategy
