1 How much of what an environmental protection manager is expected to do is already part of a business intelligence manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the environmental protection manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

advise on efficiency improvements
business analysis
corporate social responsibility
develop company strategies
ensure compliance with policies
implement strategic planning

What stands in the way is 15 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An environmental protection manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a business intelligence manager background worth leading with.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
