1 How much of what an ICT auditor manager is expected to do is already part of an ICT documentation 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 auditor manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

An ICT auditor manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things an ICT documentation manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • ICT project management
  • ensure compliance with legal requirements
  • identify legal requirements
  • monitor technology trends

What stands in the way is 15 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An ICT auditor manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an ICT documentation manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify legal requirements information skills
  • already held ICT project management business, administration and law
  • already held legal requirements of ICT products business, administration and law
  • already held monitor technology trends information skills
  • already held systems development life-cycle information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held ensure compliance with legal requirements assisting and caring

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the ICT auditor manager role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 36 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.

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.
