1 Share of the IT auditor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT capacity planner 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

Why this move works

A IT auditor role treats 6 of its required skills as things a ICT capacity planner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT process quality models
  • ICT security standards
  • ensure adherence to organisational ICT standards
  • execute ICT audits
  • improve business processes
  • systems development life-cycle

What stands in the way is 13 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A IT auditor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT capacity planner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure adherence to organisational ICT standards assisting and caring
  • already held ICT process quality models information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held ICT security standards information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held execute ICT audits information skills
  • already held improve business processes management skills
  • already held systems development life-cycle information and communication technologies (icts)

All 7 carried skills, including the 6 the IT auditor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 30 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
