All in all I agree, but some points to discuss...

I think the approach outlined in the video is what most agile coaches seems to propose, and I mostly agree. Thanks for putting this together Tamara.
I found some things to that probably do not agree:
- The whole thing with creating the name and the logo for the change. I think a lot of smart people is advocating NOT to name change initiatives. I can think of several reasons: 1) To prevent resistance from people tired of named change programs. 2) To prevent resistance in general, if it does not have a name it is harder to whack it. 3) It is not supposed to be a program that ends some time, it is supposed to be a new culture of learning, problem solving, inspect adapt.
- Creating Best Practices. 1) I think Taichi Ohno said that once you define the best way to do anything it is all over. You will kill future innovation. 2) I am a strong believer that teams need to contribute to a process to feel that they own it. By dong this it will be sustainable change. It will also ensure that the teams keepsdeveloping the process. Best Practices is dangerous stuff...
