Ultimate level- The ultimate value of training to the organization is judged mainly in terms of financial improvement.

While writing an article about training in 1959, Kirkpatrick referred to these four measurement levels as the four steps of a training evaluation. It is unclear even to Kirkpatrick how these four steps became known as the Kirkpatrick Model, but this description persists today (Kirkpatrick, 1998). As reported in the literature, this model is most frequently applied to either educational or technical

Yet, although the purpose is rather generic to the church setting, his question of value (evaluation of something’s worth, significance, quality, or condition) was presented in such a way that although it does push for internal change/change in behavior, it sounds optional and not forced upon us.
