Research and Data
At Green-Jakobsen, we classify human capital as assets, not resources. Companies implement comprehensive strategies for financial and physical assets to get the highest possible return. Likewise, by working with humans as assets rather than resources, we emphasise the need to develop, manage, and care for what is the shipping companies’ biggest expense—the workforce.
By incorporating Green-Jakobsen’s 5 Pillars of Human Performance, your human capital will successfully generate value for your people, profit, and the planet.
Green-Jakobsen can provide you with a combination of qualitative and quantitative data to strengthen your focus on areas that need attention, which is fundamental for deciding on human performance initiatives.
Collective Intelligence
Green-Jakobsen’s collective intelligence research shows a direct correlation between psychological safety1 and task-focused development. By following the development of collective intelligence, our clients have been able to track vessel performance to mitigate risk, identify underperforming vessels, and report ESG development.
The example below shows the effect of Green-Jakobsen’s 5 Pillars of Human Performance on collective intelligence over time.

Collective Intelligence Score
Identifying underperforming vessels
The collective intelligence score provides companies with revolutionary tools to highlight at-risk vessels in their fleet. At-risk vessels are proven to be more susceptible to Port State Control detentions and underperforming vetting results.
Green-Jakobsen assists companies in getting an overview of factors that influence both vessel operation and people’s performance.
Proxy Indicators Are Leading Indicators
With over 20 years of experience, we focus on results and the processes driving them. We gain insights into crew engagement, safety culture, and team competencies by identifying proxy indicators. Proxy indicators are leading indicators for performance tracking, risk mitigation, and ESG reporting. Green-Jakobsen’s blend of qualitative and quantitative data enhances the focus on key areas, supporting effective human performance initiatives. The example below illustrates that “Leaders’ ability to give clear directions on safety” is the most influential proxy indicator of collective intelligence. A dip in this indicator will, in this instance, cause significant performance issues for this organisation.
Port State Control and Vetting Performance
Reduction of Lost Time Accident Frequency and Port State Control Inspections
Through successful adaptation, our clients have substantially decreased their LTAF, improved PSC performance, and managed individual vessel risks.
We work with 5
Human Performance pillars
Our research and data indicate that these five pillars (Leadership, Reviews, Work Structure, Behaviour, and HR Architecture) are the essential components for developing Human Performance. Together, they provide a holistic approach to managing how people perform at work.
Success does not rely on just one part but comes from having all parts working well together. By focusing on these pillars, organisations can create a conducive environment that helps individuals and the whole team do their best and thrive, leading to sustained positive outcomes.
