48%
55.6/ 100
1 Share of the ICT business analysis manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT business analyst 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.
Why this move works
A ICT business analysis manager role treats 10 of its required skills as things a ICT business analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- analyse business requirements
- business process modelling
- create business process models
- decision support systems
- define technical requirements
- design process
What stands in the way is 11 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT business analysis manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT business analyst background worth leading with.
- already held create business process models management skills
- already held propose ICT solutions to business problems communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage ICT project management skills
- already held decision support systems information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held design process communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held ICT market business, administration and law
All 17 carried skills, including the 10 the ICT business analysis manager role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
