1 Share of the ICT change and configuration manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT system integration consultant 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 ICT change and configuration manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a ICT system integration consultant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

ICT project management methodologies
build business relationships
digital systems
integrate system components
manage changes in ICT system
perform project management

What stands in the way is 10 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT change and configuration manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT system integration consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held manage changes in ICT system working with computers
already held use scripting programming working with computers
already held integrate system components working with computers
already held digital systems information and communication technologies (icts)
already held ICT project management methodologies business, administration and law
already held build business relationships communication, collaboration and creativity

All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the ICT change and configuration manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 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.

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.
