I like it too!  We are thinking "Shu-Ha-Ri" for the new things.  The start of "Shu" for the new things is actually sending "Ha" to the old things ...
Agree on the principles.  Our common challenge is an organization usually is not a training camp.  The day-to-day operations, existing ways of doing things, and existing structures typically are not open to learning new things, if the new things are so different.  It takes time to change.  Still, not many students will make it beyond "Shu".  In the end, it will be their choice one way or another.
Unfortunately, many organizations just stay with structures and ceremonies, which are mostly about mechanical procedures.  Management may declare some quick wins.  But how much benefits of this kind of practice is going to generate and last will be a different question.  A good martial art master will not keep his students stay with “Shu”.
I think you have got one more important point yourself here when you pointed out that the effort will start "from inside ..."
Culture questions are always hard ones.  The existing organizational structures in many enterprises actually make them even harder.  As we have learned in our practice and said in the book, the enterprise agility will have to be built upon people's worldviews, intention, speeches, and actions.   No one can force the worldviews and intention into others.  Speeches and actions alone will not be sufficient and effective.  That is, enterprise agility as a whole including culture is an invitation, not a marching order. We will have to learn how to grow the four components together from a thinly sliced project within the enterprise, starting with the believers.  As a start, this is the place you should find the people who truly strive for the enterprise agility and promote it including culture.
