ICT information and knowledge managertoinformation manager
A ICT information and knowledge manager already meets 25% of what the information manager role asks for. The move turns on 12 required skills not yet in the profile.
25%
73.6/ 100
1 Share of the information manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT information and knowledge manager 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 information manager role treats 5 of its required skills as things a ICT information and knowledge manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assess informational needs
- data quality assessment
- design information system
- manage information access aids
- perform data mining
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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A information manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT information and knowledge manager background worth leading with.
- already held manage information access aids information skills
- already held assess informational needs communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held design information system communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held data quality assessment business, administration and law
- already held use databases working with computers
- already held perform data mining working with computers
All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the information manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 24 missing skills fall into 8 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a information manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 analyse information systems skill · occupation specific
- 02 cooperate to resolve information issues skill · occupation specific
- 03 develop organisational information goals skill · occupation specific
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.
