Government contracting has many rules and steps. But do we ever ask why they exist? In this episode, we look at an idea that has lasted for almost 100 years: Chesterton’s Fence. It says, “Don’t take down a fence until you know why it was put up.” With big changes like the FAR overhaul in the news, this idea matters more than ever. It helps us think before we act.
Kevin Jans and Cesar Lopez explain Chesterton’s Fence and show how it fits in GovCon today. If you work with contracts, processes, or new rules, this episode will help you make better choices. You’ll learn how asking the right questions can save time and avoid mistakes. Listen in and see how smart thinking leads to better results for everyone.
