Why is it important?
The HLG-MOS has been named the single most important entity for the advancement of official statistics. Lessons learned about its structure, innovation pipeline, and agility to keep adjusting to take up new challenges, can are useful for other modernisation (and other) initiatives that aim to improve their impact.
Perspectives
It has been great to see an ever increasing community keep on taking up complex challenges and succeed time and again to achieve set goals and to keep staying ahead in the modernisation/innovation quest. It is nice being able to share what the key elements were that have made this possible.
