We changed from a vertically structured organisation that I just talked about to a more horizontal structure to provide greater functional specialisation and economies of scale. Starting on the left hand side of the diagram, we have the Economic Statistics Data Centre which undertakes all the data collection activities, all the front end processing activities and so forth. There is only a single data centre whereas there are multiple Business Statistic Centres (BSCs), shown in the middle part of the diagram.
They are based around groups of similar business collections. For example we have one Business Statistic Centre (BSC) for all our sub-annual business collections, we have another BSC for all our agriculture collections. The third type of organisational unit is the National Statistic Centres (NSCs). There are multiple National Statistic Centres and they are based on particular statistics themes.
So we have a labour NSC, for example, and its role is to get away from being solely based on internally focused labour collection based activity that it was responsible for to having a much greater alignment with the users and producers of labour statistics and to take an interest in all data sources that could be used for labour statistics.
