#1360 Transfer communication skills from "Business skills" to "Influence" change request accepted
Remove references to communication and leadership skills that are found under "Business skills" over to "Influence" in the 7 levels. Allthough communication and leadership are both important parts of business skills and influence, it can be argued that it is more importantly tied to influence. Buesiness skills is very broad, and influence is defintly part of business skills, but since they are to distinct skills in SFIA levels we suggest to correspond communication and leadership skills to "influence".
Level 1
Move "Has sufficient communication skills for effective dialogue with others." from "business skills" to "Influence"
Level 2
Move "Has sufficient communication skills for effective dialogue with customers, suppliers and partners" from "business skills" to "Influence".

Level 4

Level 6
