Yes, and it is a career change move. A lean manager already covers 21% of what a business intelligence manager is expected to do: 12 skills carry over, 7 of which the business intelligence manager role treats as required.

26 required skills are missing, plus 21 optional ones. They fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by management skills. The single most important is company policies.

Its learning distance is 82.6 out of 100, which is the career change band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
