1 Share of the ICT auditor manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT project 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

Why this move works

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

  • ICT project management
  • build business relationships
  • execute ICT audits
  • identify legal requirements
  • implement ICT risk management
  • quality standards

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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT auditor manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT project manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify legal requirements information skills
  • already held implement ICT risk management information skills
  • already held ICT project management business, administration and law
  • already held ICT process quality models information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held execute ICT audits information skills
  • already held legal requirements of ICT products business, administration and law

All 11 carried skills, including the 6 the ICT auditor manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 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.
