ICT business analysttoICT resilience manager
A ICT business analyst already meets 18% of what the ICT resilience manager role asks for. The move turns on 16 required skills not yet in the profile.
18%
82/ 100
1 Share of the ICT resilience 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 this move works
A ICT resilience manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a ICT business analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- analyse business processes
- analyse the context of an organisation
- internal risk management policy
- organisational resilience
What stands in the way is 16 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT resilience 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.
- already held analyse the context of an organisation information skills
- already held internal risk management policy business, administration and law
- already held organisational resilience business, administration and law
- already held analyse business processes information skills
- already held analyse business requirements information skills
- already held business process modelling business, administration and law
All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the ICT resilience manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 35 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a ICT resilience manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
