1 Share of the eBusiness manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT business analyst 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 6 of its required skills as things a ICT business analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

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

What stands in the way is 19 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 8 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 analyst background worth leading with.

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

All 8 carried skills, including the 6 the eBusiness manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 35 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.
