ICT environmental manager to ICT capacity planner
An ICT environmental manager already meets 20% of what the ICT capacity planner role asks for. The move turns on 12 required skills not yet in the profile.
79.5/ 100
1 How much of what an ICT capacity planner is expected to do is already part of an ICT environmental 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 5 of its required skills as things an ICT environmental manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- ICT infrastructure
- crowdsourcing strategy
- insourcing strategy
- outsourcing strategy
- provide cost benefit analysis reports
What stands in the way is 12 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 7 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 environmental manager background worth leading with.
- 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 ICT infrastructure engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held coordinate technological activities management skills
- already held systems development life-cycle information and communication technologies (icts)
All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the ICT capacity planner role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 41 missing skills fall into 8 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.

The 3 entries an ICT capacity planner role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 plan ICT capacity practise this

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.
