In addition, for an organization to ensure lifetime development, transparency should be ensured by building a strong relationship between the top management and the employees (Moon, 2006). This will bring sustained development because all the workers in an organization contribute to innovative ways that can be undertaken to ensure sustained growth.

An organization should develop an organizational culture in which supervisor-subordinate relationships is highly maintained. This encourages collaboration among sub-units which builds strong professional wellbeing, motivation, and pride of employees which results in improved organizations output. Teamwork is also essential in ensuring that the output of an organization is achieved (Marsick, Watkins, 2003). When workers in an organization are trained to put aside their differences so as to be in a position to work together towards the organization's goal, then greater output will be achieved.

Evaluation of changes in an organization is important to realize their success. Various parameter metrics and approaches are applied by the organization to understand the improvement efforts made. First feedback questionnaires can be administered to the workers to enable the gathering of various views. These views can then be analyzed to evaluate if the improvements efforts applied were successful. For example, if most employees are happy about the changes it gives an impression that the changes were successful (Moon, 2006).

Also, metrics such as observing the general trend of the process in the organization can also be a success evaluation metric. If the intended process has changed positively after the changes, it implies that the efforts were successful.
