CFAR’s workshop contents and a typical MBA program’s contents is non-coincidental
I was really surprised after going to a couple more traditional business workshops to learn that many of CFAR’s techniques like focused grit, trigger-action planning, value of information, and murphyjitsu are taught in business contexts as well (though sometimes under different names, like the swiss-cheese method for focused grit). It seems the main value of CFAR over these programs is the focus on helping those with high impact/working on existential-risk—but what specific skills/methods does CFAR offer that MBA programs/other workshops do not?
