We have a global agile process group and everyone on the team is in complete agreement that our current RUP process would benefit by adapting some Agile/Scrum techniques. Here's our current game plan:
- How do we convince the organization of the benefits? How do we convince them that change is good?
- Who do we get to sponsor the initiative at the executive level? We need someone with the courage to act differently, to find out if the environment will support us.
- How do we incorporate Agile & Scrum best practices into our corporate culture and our projects sooner rather than later?

Organisational change is the hard bit and I have discussed it in my blog along with a few example of an organisation that made the big leap - SCRUM/XP etc within a year.
There is plenty of evidence ou there for the fact that Agile improves productivity, reduces time to market, improves quality etc so the business case for it is high - but like anything the combination of Agile practices you choose needs to suit your organisation.
John Kotters Book - 'The Heart of Change' - is very good on how to change the mindset of an organisation with plenty of examples.
