1 Share of the eBusiness manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT business analysis 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 eBusiness manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a ICT business analysis manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT market
  • analyse business requirements
  • business strategy concepts
  • create business process models
  • define technology strategy
  • implement strategic planning

What stands in the way is 17 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A eBusiness manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT business analysis manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create business process models management skills
  • already held perform business analysis information skills
  • already held ICT market business, administration and law
  • already held business strategy concepts business, administration and law
  • already held define technology strategy management skills
  • already held analyse business requirements information skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the eBusiness manager role treats as required.

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.
