1 Share of the ICT disaster recovery analyst role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT resilience 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 disaster recovery analyst role treats 10 of its required skills as things a ICT resilience manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT recovery techniques
  • build business relationships
  • define security policies
  • develop information security strategy
  • identify ICT security risks
  • implement ICT recovery system

What stands in the way is 11 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT disaster recovery analyst role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT resilience manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held respond to incidents in cloud communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held define security policies management skills
  • already held implement ICT recovery system working with computers
  • already held manage disaster recovery plans management skills
  • already held system backup best practice information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held ICT recovery techniques information and communication technologies (icts)

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the ICT disaster recovery analyst role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 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.

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.
