Since many decades, the JW religion didn't change much. Although they changed a few doctrines back and forth, generally speaking, they didn't evolve and follow modern times as much as they should have.
What changes or ajustements should they have made throughout the years in order to have more success?
They should have sold off their assets, distributed the money to victims of child abuse, and disolved their corporations.

They simply should have not even started.
From our point of view, yes that's true Walter.
Freedom 96, but they did start.
But in order for them to prosper in their religion, and to get more followers and keep them, what changes did they omit to do?
JH:
Russell should have followed the example of William Miller. He should have apologized to his followers for his mistakes and begged their forgiveness for his errors. Then, he should have encouraged personal Bible study. The Watchtower should have become a magazine where his readers could share their research and debate the issues. He should have discouraged all the attempts to form a religious denomination as he originally intended. Had he done this, perhaps none of the events that followed would have happened.
If the WT. decided to just focus on Bible research as the original Bible Students did, they might have been more tolerable. They became more autocratic than democratic and the"organization" was born. Instead of believing that THEY were specially ordained by God to fulfill prophecy, they should have not made interpertations that only God could make. In short, they were doomed from the start! The whole premise of the religion is eschatology and end time prophecies. They are simply----FALSE PROPHETS!
