Where a business manager can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a business manager already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Business managers are responsible for setting the objectives of the business unit of a company, creating a plan for the operations, and facilitating the achievement of the objectives and implementation of the plan together with employees of the segment and stakeholders. They keep an overview of the business, understand detailed information of the business unit and support the department, and make decisions based on the information at hand.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a business manager already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
