1 Share of the business manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the medical practice 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 business manager role treats 14 of its required skills as things a medical practice manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse business plans
  • analyse business processes
  • assume responsibility for the management of a business
  • build business relationships
  • business law
  • business management principles

What stands in the way is 21 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A business manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a medical practice manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage office facility systems working with computers
  • already held assume responsibility for the management of a business management skills
  • already held develop company strategies management skills
  • already held develop revenue generation strategies management skills
  • already held business law business, administration and law
  • already held analyse business processes information skills

All 22 carried skills, including the 14 the business manager role treats as required.

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.
