Ces changements sont principalement guidés par la nécessité d'accroître le niveau de compétences et de savoir-faire, tant au niveau individuel qu'au niveau collectif. Ce renouvellement constant du potentiel organisationnel s'opère par la voie d'un processus d'apprentissage qui touche tous les niveaux de l'organisation. En pratique, cet apprentissage est facilité par la réalisation de projets de développement.
