Evantage Consulting's Kate McRoberts shares how to effectively manage conflict in the workplace with the International Institute of Business Analysis.
"Conflict in the workplace can be very uncomfortable. But for Business Analysts, who have to constantly bridge the gap between business and IT stakeholders, conflict is a fact of every day life," according to Kate McRoberts, a Partner with Evantage Consulting. Ms. McRoberts is the featured speaker at the International Institute of Business Analysis, Minneapolis Chapter meeting (http://minneapolis. theiiba. org/ (http://minneapolis. theiiba. org/)).
"Successful business analysts don't just settle the tense moments, but work to uncover the underlying causes of conflict to enable lasting resolution." Ms. McRoberts' presentation is focused on helping business analysts identify sources and types of conflict, and offers techniques to help find common ground and address differences. Ms. McRoberts began her career at Evantage Consulting as a Business Analyst and is now a partner in the firm. She completed her undergraduate studies at Macalester College, in St. Paul, MN and received her MA in Organizational Development from the University of St. Thomas.
"Evantage Consulting has a significant practice dedicated to business analysis. We consistently find that identifying and addressing the underlying sources of conflict early and openly results in the highest quality analysis and outcomes," Ms. McRoberts commented. "Integrating healthy conflict management into our business analysis practice has been an important contribution to its effectiveness."
