Green ICT consultant to ICT system integration consultant
A green ICT consultant already meets 18% of what the ICT system integration consultant role asks for. The move turns on 16 required skills not yet in the profile.
83.8/ 100
1 How much of what an ICT system integration consultant is expected to do is already part of a green ICT consultant’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 ICT system integration consultant role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An ICT system integration consultant role treats 4 of its required skills as things a green ICT consultant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- consult with business clients
- define technical requirements
- optimise choice of ICT solution
- provide ICT consulting advice
What stands in the way is 16 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An ICT system integration consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a green ICT consultant background worth leading with.
- already held software components suppliers information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held hardware components suppliers business, administration and law
- already held optimise choice of ICT solution working with computers
- already held consult with business clients communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held create project specifications management skills
- already held provide ICT consulting advice communication, collaboration and creativity
All 8 carried skills, including the 4 the ICT system integration consultant role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 43 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
