Some issues of Generic Statistical Business Process Model implementation in foreign countries.

Abstract

The article describes basic components of processes and sub-processes of the Generic Statistical Business Process Model - GSBPM. The short characteristic of GSBPM is given. The authors demonstrate in what way application of GSBPM as preferable reference model in national statistical authorities facilitates communication, information exchange and cooperation between national statistical authorities. The article reviews best practices of statistical offices of several foreign countries (Australia, Denmark and Canada) in using GSBPM to solve the issues of harmonization and modernization of statistical activities. In particular, the experience of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in tackling a wide range of practical tasks. The adoption of the GSBPM in Statistics Denmark is described on the example of the corporate long-term plan project “Strategy-2015” which strategic objective is the gradual achievement of higher extent of standardization and unification of processes and IT systems. Analysis of the report presented by the Statistics Canada proved how the model can be as a foundation for several statistical programs for ensuring their quality at practical application and identification of those subprocesses for which there is a greater risk of errors.
