Discover how measuring operational excellence contributes to achieving the goals of the NDI Indicator and Vision 2030. Learn about the importance of data management, and Renad Al Majd’s role in helping organizations achieve digital excellence.
In the era of digital transformation, data has become the lifeblood of the modern economy, and a key tool to achieve excellence and innovation in government institutions. From this standpoint, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority “SDAIA” launched the National Data Indicator “NDI“, which aims to assess and improve data management in government agencies, and enhance its utilization in achieving the goals of Vision 2030.
Measuring operational excellence is considered one of the three main components of the “NDI” indicator, which focuses on assessing the level of progress in national data management operational processes in government agencies, by utilizing national data platforms.
The Importance of Measuring Operational Excellence
Measuring operational excellence plays a vital role in achieving the strategic goals of the “NDI” indicator, by:
- Improving Process Efficiency: helps identify strengths and weaknesses in data management operational processes, enabling government agencies to take the necessary actions to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
- Enhancing Collaboration and Integration: encourages collaboration and integration between government agencies in data management, by utilizing national data platforms and exchanging best practices.
- Supporting Decision-Making: provides accurate and reliable performance indicators, helping government agencies make data-driven decisions and improve the quality of services provided to beneficiaries.
- Achieving Vision 2030: contributes to achieving the goals of Vision 2030, by building a thriving digital economy, improving quality of life, and enhancing transparency and accountability in the government sector.
Operational Excellence Measurement Mechanism
The operational excellence measurement mechanism in the “NDI” indicator relies on assessing the level of progress in national data management operational processes in 6 main areas, namely:
- Metadata and Data Dictionary: This area measures the effectiveness of metadata management and the provision of a comprehensive data dictionary, facilitating access and understanding.
- Data Quality: This area focuses on assessing data quality and ensuring its accuracy, completeness, and compliance with national standards.
- Data Storage: This area measures the efficiency of data storage and the provision of the necessary infrastructure to protect and manage it effectively.
- Data Integration and Sharing: This area focuses on assessing the ability of government agencies to integrate and share data easily and securely, by utilizing national data platforms.
- Master and Reference Data Management: This area measures the effectiveness of managing and standardizing master and reference data, ensuring consistency and integration between different systems.
- Open Data: This area focuses on assessing the extent to which government agencies are committed to publishing and providing open data to the public, enhancing transparency and participation.
These areas are measured using a set of indicators and standards, reflecting the level of progress in national data management operational processes.
Objectives of Measuring Operational Excellence
Measuring operational excellence in the “NDI” indicator aims to achieve a set of main objectives, namely:
- Accelerating the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Operational Processes: By identifying strengths and weaknesses in operational processes, and taking the necessary actions to improve them.
- Enhancing the Capabilities of Government Agencies: In implementing comprehensive data lifecycle management processes, from creation to disposal, in accordance with national standards.
