1 How much of what a strategic planning 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 strategic planning manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A strategic planning manager role treats 12 of its required skills as things a business intelligence manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

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

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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A strategic planning 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.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held identify undetected organisational needs management skills
already held make data-driven decisions information skills
already held management consulting business, administration and law
already held develop company strategies management skills
already held integrate strategic foundation in daily performance management skills

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 38 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in.

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.
