Stats NZ’s Long-term Insights Briefing for 2021: Consultation
Stats NZ is seeking feedback on the proposed topic of its Long-term Insights Briefing (LTIB) for 2021.
Long-term Insights Briefings
Long-term Insights Briefings (LTIB) form part of the stewardship role of public service agencies and provide a platform for identifying and exploring the issues that matter for the future wellbeing of the people of New Zealand.
These briefings provide the public with information about medium and long-term trends, risks, and opportunities that affect or may affect New Zealand and New Zealand society. LTIBs also provide impartial analysis, including policy options for responding to these matters.
The Public Service Act 2020 requires agencies to develop a Long-term Insights Briefing at least once every three years.
Our LTIB focuses on fostering improved wellbeing and economic growth
Stats NZ’s proposed topic is Data as a driver of national competitive advantage – fostering improved wellbeing and economic growth.
Our specific focus areas are:
- the future of data: the type of asset that data is, and the properties that drive its value
- combining data to create value
- the importance of trust and transparency – creating the environment for trustworthy and responsible data-driven technology
- the potential role of government to support the use of data to drive social and economic wellbeing.
