In the future Katherine should be considered for more lateral moves

Explanation:

A lateral move in employment refers to move or change to a different job which still holds essentially the same title, pay and role either within your same place of employment or with a new company. This kind of lateral job transfer may be initiated by either the employer or the employee. Katherine may take this option or her supeiors may offer this since they consider her "topped out" (as in reaching her highest position for that role) in her current position.
