I hope Dave doesn't mind me plugging one of Dan Norths presentations "Why agile doesn't scale and what you can do about it".
It is primarily about how "agilists" and business talk past each other and how developers need to stop focusing on technical things and "standups, burndowns, burnups, userstories, storypoints and ..." and taking a more holistic view and understanding of the business.
Organizations tend to end up in a vicious cycle where they restructure the organization and hire a new CEO/CIO/CTO every three years and start over, while all the senior developers, PMs, etc just gives up, sighs and leaves for "something better" and all the lessons learned are forgotten. Agile (and CD) affects the entire organization, from the sales people to CEO/CTO/CIO to developers, HR and training. Without this understanding, no process or methodology will make much of a difference in the end.
