Your success in the knowledge economy is the focus of our service.

Van Thinking is mostly an online service.  We focus on providing professionals in the knowledge economy with tools and resources to enhance their career.We structure everything we offer to fit in with your life.

Some of our resources are made available free of charge.  They mainly concentrate on theoretical understanding of the subjects they cover.  Some are free downloads and others are free email courses.

Our eBooks are mostly the theoretical workbooks which we use in our more practical and hands-on paid interactive online courses.   In our paid courses we focus on not only providing you with the best currrent understanding of the underlying theory, but also with assignments and discussions to help you contextualise what you learn in your environment.  We also answer your questions as you work through the course material and assignments.  You can expect to leave our online courses armed with new practical skills and resources.

We also make available a number of online videos on some of the subjects we cover.  We also offer online consultation services if you would like to involve us in any practical situation you would like to discuss regarding your career or execution of your work in the areas that we offer services.

You might also be interested in some of the services we offer which are not found on this website.  If so make sure to visit

  1. Our Science and Research Management website 
  2. Our Online Courses website where all our interactive courses are offered.

All our Presenters have many years of experience in their particular fields of expertise.  They focus on providing the knowledge and resources that can only come from years of experience as they develop material that offers a synthesis of theoretical insights and application in real life.  They can also be engaged in live consultation.

Maybe an explanation of the name Van Thinking provides the best description of our focus:  Van means "front runner", or "wing".  So if you want to think ahead of others in the knowledge economy and run ahead of the pack, we focus on offering the services that will assist you in that quest.  Like Vanguard is the Front Guard, so Van Thinking will help you be one step ahead as you engage the knowledge economy.

You cannot run ahead of the pack
If you do not think ahead of the pack
