1 Share of the ICT operations manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT business analysis manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

already held design process communication, collaboration and creativity

already held coordinate technological activities management skills
already held define technology strategy management skills
already held track key performance indicators information skills
already held systems development life-cycle information and communication technologies (icts)

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.
