Innovative production systems at statistics New Zealand: Overcoming the design and build bottleneck

Abstract

In 2011, Statistics NZ embarked on an ambitious ten-year programme of change called Statistics 2020 Te Ka-pehu Whetu-: Achieving the statistics system of the future. This article outlines a key component of this approach to transforming how Statistics NZ delivers its statistics. This involves modernising all aspects of statistical production - from identifying need, right through to dissemination - to ensure the organisation has the functionality and capacity to deliver now and into the future. Standardisation of processes, methods, tools, and systems to increase flexibility and efficiency is a key component of this transformation. © Statistics Sweden.
