ANZSIC 2006 Implementation

2. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation International Workshop on Implementation of ISIC and CPC Kunming, China 14 - 18 September 2009

3. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Strategy • Last major change • Impact on ABS • ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Program (AIP)

4. Program Governance Model ANZSIC06 Implementation ASAC and ESUG Corporate Investor ABSMM ESSCC Program Board Quality Advisers Statistics NZ Program Owner Managers of specific implementation projects Implementation Program Manager Implementation Coordination Team Representatives of affected areas Collection areas/Support areas and other projects relating to ANZSIC06 Implementation

5. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Strategy • Preparatory phase • develop broad strategies • sign-off the processes • develop new ANZSIC autocoder • create production frame on both basis • Transition phase • maintain 2 production frames for each collection • recode (reverse coding) from ANZSIC06 to ANZSIC 1993 • Full implementation phase • publish on new basis only

6. Implementation Statistical Strategies • annual collections produced 2 years ‘bridged’ data on the new basis • subannual collections used the parallel run strategy • irregular and benchmark economic collections - dual coded • non-register sourced collections - dual coded

7. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Strategy • Program management • Transition plans • Communication plans • Outcome realisation plans • Risks management • Issues management • Financial management

8. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Strategy • Program management (continued) • quarterly Board meeting • six-monthly one-on-one meeting with affected areas • annual workshop • other meetings/workshops, as required

9. Implementation Business Register Strategies • Recode stock of business register to ANZSIC 2006 • Business As Usual (new registrations) • Reverse coding • Quality Assurance

10. Implementation Output Strategies • Collections will: • Publish on ANZSIC 2006 basis only; • Include a general note in the explanatory notes • Include a technical note additional bridging/backcasting information or details if necessary; • Include more information for users in their publication releases, one to two reference periods before the introduction of ANZSIC 2006 (subannual collections and national accounts only). • ANZSIC 1993 data series

11. Implementation Communication Strategies • Inform and update users on progress during the life of the program • utilise all affected ABS areas to identify and engage with users • produce information papers, conduct information sessions and provide contact points for queries

12. Release schedule of statistics • A number of ABS collections had already been published on ANZSIC 2006. • The rest of the ABS collections will progressively migrate to ANZSIC 2006 this year.

13. Implementation Annual Collections • produced 2 sets of data on new basis • published 2004/05 and 2005/06 ref. years • full survey redesign 2006/07 ref. year • sampling procedures: • design on ANZSIC 1993 • standard optimised allocation • top-up sample to achieve constraints on both A93 and A06

14. Implementation Annual Collections • measurement strategy: post-stratification • other considerations: • consistent rigour in editing both for A93 and A06 • understanding the impact or changes

15. Implementation Subannual Collections • Use parallel run estimation • design two separate (but overlapping) samples (A93 and A06) • collect data and estimate separately from each sample

16. Backcasting • Backcasting guideline • Often an expensive and error prone undertaking • Decision to backcast requires strong justification to do so • Not all ABS economic collections will backcast. • Key backcasting parameters • ABS developed a generalised backcasting facility

17. Backcasting

18. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Strategy • Program evaluation report • assess the appropriateness of program outputs; • assess the effectiveness of the program management; • identify best practice in the program; • reflect on the things that went well;

19. ANZSIC 2006 Implementation Strategy • Program evaluation report (continued) • recommend ways on how to improve the program implementation; • understand and document the major problems encountered; • recommend how the process could be contracted; and • identify exemplars of transition plans and key program/project documents.
