ICT business development manager to ICT capacity planner
An ICT business development manager already meets 27% of what the ICT capacity planner role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
74.9/ 100
1 How much of what an ICT capacity planner is expected to do is already part of an ICT business development 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 ICT capacity planner role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An ICT capacity planner role treats 6 of its required skills as things an ICT business development manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- ICT capacity planning strategies
- analyse business requirements
- crowdsourcing strategy
- insourcing strategy
- outsourcing strategy
- perform business analysis
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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An ICT capacity planner role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an ICT business development manager background worth leading with.
- already held ICT capacity planning strategies business, administration and law
- already held crowdsourcing strategy business, administration and law
- already held insourcing strategy business, administration and law
- already held outsourcing strategy business, administration and law
- already held perform business analysis information skills
- already held collect customer feedback on applications information skills
All 10 carried skills, including the 6 the ICT capacity planner role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 38 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. 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.
