What does the HLG-MOS do?

v  Oversees activities that support modernisation of statistical organisations

v  Stimulates development of global standards and international collaboration activities

v  “Within the official statistics community ... take a leadership and coordination role”

The Challenges

These challenges are too big for statistical organisations to

tackle on their own

We need to work together

Using common standards, statistics can be produced

more efficiently

No domain is special!

Do new methods and tools support this vision, or do they

reinforce a stove-pipe mentality?
